thedanceofthecosmos asked: first of all, i love that your ask text is lyrics to destrokk. and i know you hear this all of the time, but i still feel the need to share it. i just started following you, but i'm quickly coming to the realization that you are one of my favorite mgmt blogs (and there are A LOT out there).

karmacowgirl replied to your post: MGMT + Blood - What are you telling us?
probably my favorite tumblr post in a long time.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I work really hard at trying to make original posts. This has something that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I just wish that I could get answers from them. Much love.

checkkkkit replied to your post: Because I Need as Much MGMT in My Life as Possible
you should totally put that mgmt cover playlist/cd on mediafire, so that I can snag it. idloveyouforeverifyoudid.
Hmmm, I’ve never done that before, but it definitely should be a part of everyone’s collection. I can certainly see about figuring it out though. I will let you know when/if I do.

MGMT + Blood - What are you telling us?
At any point in the day, there are several MGMT lyrics floating around in my head and spewing out my mouth. Recently, I’ve noticed that the idea of blood comes up quite a bit when Andrew and Ben push the pencil to the paper.
In addition to these red-colored lyrics, Andrew has pointed out in interviews that the inside of the Oracular Spectacular CD features Ben and him covered in blood.

“I think littering is cool. I’m just going to go out and say it. Like when you see somebody like just toss something, you know at first you’re like pissed off, but then you’re like, that guy’s pretty cool. It’s like Fonzie would do that or something”.

“My most outrageous stage outfit was a cabaret theme with big glittery pants, a tuxedo and a bow-tie. For a festival once I wore a lime-green catsuit with a slit down to my naval. I looked like a sort of deranged superhero version of Peter Pan. I’d been on tour with MGMT, and me and Andrew VanWyngarden kept swapping outfits. He gave it to me to wear,”

MGMT Unrecorded Songs
This conversation starts out serious, but then turns lighthearted. I am positive from the interview that they actually have these songs, but once they start joking in the end it seems clear that we will never hear them. Sighhhh….
Interviewer: Didn’t you guys used to say that your music is bad? Didn’t you used to have like hall posters and stuff saying MGMT make bad music?
Ben: When we...

At Merriweather, my friends and I kind of "walked in" on soundcheck. We got kicked out but they brought us out where the buses were so we knew where they'd be. After the concert we just kind of stood around a bit and a few other girls caught on to what we were doing. And Andrew and Will came out and the girls...

I think today that we all learned a lesson
Do not believe a damn thing the media says about MGMT. I know that I never have and probably never will. The only things I believe are the words that come straight from their mouths.
The more you know.

Love all the David Bowie on my Dash. Speaking...
Is this MGMT tribute to David Bowie happening or what?
I recently heard Ben and Andrew say that they found out they were doing it from an article before they ever even agreed. But since they thought it was a good idea they would be on board as long as they could find the time. I haven’t heard much since the news first broke in January So…..
