Interesting. I wonder what a second album from them will be like.... more of the same or something totally different? Their first album is so unique that it kind of presents them with a double edged sword for the next one.

The single choices have been right on so far. Let's hope "Kids" does well enough so that "The Youth" can be fourth.

Had this album on full blast at a BBQ last night and it sounded SOOOO good (maybe that was the beer, food and the company?! ). So pleased that "Kids" is going to be a single!! ;D Where is the video?

I'm kind of burnt out on them. I introduced them to all my friends, and they're ruining the band for me. "The voice of our generation"

I came back from England to find out that all of my friends are obsessed with "Electric Feel." I know a lot of people, including my teenage cousins and their friends, were obsessed with "Time to Pretend" all last summer. I guess my point is people really like MGMT here so there's no reason they shouldn't get airplay. I know they're eclectic, but the music is catchy and accessible enough to work. I'm getting increasingly frustrated by their lack of airplay... not to mention their lack of Grammy recognition.

Yeah. Most everyone I'm friends with (indie b*tches) know about MGMT, but it still amazes me at their lack of radio support.

Hot 100 Bubbling Under this week...
So much interest beneath the surface... if only there was more exposure this band WOULD blow up.

Thanks to a TV advert "Kids" is Top 15 on iTunes and the album is Top10 midweeks in the UK.

What's the advert for? Hopefully we'll get that advert too! "Kids" would be perfect for an iPod commercial.
