they remind me of Flaming Lips but not as good though but thats cos their producer got alot of the same sound out of them as he did with the lips from the little I've head of um.
Am I right in thinking that their name should be pronounced 'Management' and not M.G.M.T. as everyone seems to be saying? Is that right, or did I dream it?
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking they're a bit poor & over hyped! Kids & Electric Feel are great tunes, but how they've come out of SXSW as THE band to watch I really don't know. I can't see them getting past 1 album, whereas The Dodos and Fleet Foxes are both much more exciting & excellent live. MGMT live really lack something.
the only DiSer who knows what he's talking about with music, and I give them a big thumbs up, so don't worry. Very, very little modern music is good enough to even appear on my radar. I block it out. But MGMT are firmly there.
i saw the preformance of that big single of thers on the BBC at Glasto and it really didnt do too much for me, you couldnt really hear the guys voice, he was kinda wispering
No, not at all
They are very affable young gents.

naw
they're pretty rad.
Can I just clarify something?
Am I right in thinking that their name should be pronounced 'Management' and not M.G.M.T. as everyone seems to be saying? Is that right, or did I dream it?
I asked them this the other day
and they said either is fine. You heard it here first kids!
I like to pronounce it
Mgmt.
Cos that's how it's spelt.
What, like
Mugmut?
^ This pronunciation is correct
I was reading it as
'Management', I think I may have been adding in a few too many letters on that one.
after some drunken buffoonery last night
we agreed "mugermatur" is also acceptable. But yes, MGMT were called "The Management" a couple of years ago.
Anyone seeing us tonight? Three shows in three days and I've met a grand total of 0 DiSers.
Seeing who tonight?
You aren't in the band are you?
Ex
actly.
i say
Mugumt.
it used to be management
but now it's just mgmt
Nope I think they are good
Second half of their album fades a bit though.
everybody is entitled to their own opinion.....
I for one think that their utterly dreadful music is only matched by their utterly dreadful live act.
Talk about hype over substance!
^
this...saw them at Werchter & was glad that I'd missed them supporting Radiohead the week before.
2 of their tracks sound OK on the radio...but live they're fucking gash
They're the latest over-hyped NME wank
Totally!

it doesn't look like much clashes with them at Reading
yes
i like too!

hmmm
The singer from MGMT's voice seriously grates on me, though the first track is definitely a killer tune.
Well this lot like
MGMT too

speaking of Richard marx
a sang a song of his at a karaoke bar the other day. Hazard.
# i sweearrrr i left her byyy the river. i sweearr i left her safe and sound! #
fukin stone cold anthem
i really like Electric Feel
cant stop listening to it.
everything else is a bit cack though.
i saw the vid for that before
Eand either the tv was fucked or they couldnt be arsed to sync up the vocals with their mouths.
I'm really lost about what people like about these guys, the music comes off really hippyish and really boring.
*and
..
i was at a 21st party at the weekend
and my friend's drunk aunt asked us about "that MDMA band". One of the funniest things I've ever heard.
she might have meant the Klaxons
?
I have a problem with that in that....
they fucking suck, both live and on record.
I thought they were great
at Primavera. Excellent band to start the festival with. I don't think I've ever heard them apart from that.
hmm
i saw the preformance of that big single of thers on the BBC at Glasto and it really didnt do too much for me, you couldnt really hear the guys voice, he was kinda wispering
I only got round to listening to the album but
it's pretty damn good.
I mean I've only just heard it in the last week
:(
I've got a problem
they're bollocks. Well I think they are, do what you want
Live they
are horrendous, self congratulatory guff. 3 or 4 albums down the line (don't laugh)they could be a great singles band though.
I like their album
But they bored the fuck out of me at Glastonbury
i like the album
a lot
and i'm going to see them live on sunday so i can get a full all-round opinion on them then
Time To Pretend is a brilliant song!
but the rest of the album wasn't up to that standard.
^exactly how i feel
(even though i haven't heard the whole album.
I think they are absolutely ace
One my fave albums of the year so far. Kids is my fave song of theirs.
No.
The singer looks like Stevie Nicks.
They are great.
This band are good
absolutely
time to pretend actually made me cry on the way back from Werchter - too good...
electric feel is excellent
the albums quite good as a whole too
They seemed quite insipid on the Glastonbury coverage...
But I suppose I don't mind them on record.
time to pretened
is ace, but the newer single annoys me. the singer is way hot though.
while we're talking about pronounciations,
is MSTRKRFT pronounced Mastercraft or moosterkrooft
moosterkrooft
its german
me too
i like singing "pieces of what" really obnoxiously to my cat.
i saw their video to "electric feel" the other day and thought that they could be a straight faced mighty boosh
theyre really good
really creative and really cool
mgmt was our soundtrack to glastonbury, oh how we had fun
