I tried watching some videos of MGMT live and didn't think they sounded particularly good; however, I think if I was personally thrashing around in a field with strangers offering me free drugs left and right, seeing them would be an amazing experience. I've been on a huge MGMT kick for the past few days. I have so much new music to be listening to, but I keep coming back to Oracular Spectacular, especially "Electric Feel," the song that properly got me into Pitchfork's favorite slutty hippies. Like many other people, "Time To Pretend" was my first exposure to MGMT, back in that phase last spring when everyone and their dog was lost in vacant-eyed fantasies about running away to Paris. I thought it was a good song, but I wasn't immediately obsessed. When I heard "Electric Feel," the appeal finally clicked. Maybe it doesn't evoke any romantic visions of the stereotypical rockstar lifestyle, but it's catchy, it's sexy, and I like it so much that I actually got excited when I heard it on an episode of Gossip Girl.
