MGMT is the ultra hyped crazy alternative band of 2008 from Brooklyn that has recently creeped into my Ipod. I know all you music hipsters are proclaiming right now “OLD NEWS!”. Whatever forget you and your overly tight jeans. MGMT previously know as The Management has pumped out some singles that have earn a coveted spot on my Ipod. “Time to Pretend” “Eletric Feel” and “Kids” are all extremely trippy and strippy songs that everyone must check out even if your not in the electric or alternative genre. One thing that is being called into debate is their live performances. According to this excerpt from Jonny their boring live even though they managed to sell out a free show at some random pool in Brooklyn. Honestly I really could care less if they suck live I would never pay…wait it was free, but whatever still doesn’t matter we can all agree on that their singles are of the “kick ass” genre or something to that extent. I can’t wait to see what they put out next.
You know they are good because they have trippy effects in their music video.

Never heard of the band, but I really like the song Time to pretend. I put him to my favorites! Thanks for bringing it up.
Time to pretend is catchy, the lyrics are done well. Sounds kinda like if Supertramp and STYX were to combine. Which would also be interesting. Though I like Supertramp better than STYX.
They don’t suck live, I’ve seen them
