Randy Lahey Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Everybody needs to dip into their Chinese Democracy fund and go pick this album up. This will be the soundtrack for the summer of 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonk Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I can't stop listening to this album. Every song has something great about it that I completely love so I never skip any of them, it's all class. Can't thank you enough for the "nod" towards this album Randy .

Can't thank you enough for the "nod" towards this album Randy .Most of us on this forum are still here because we are waiting for some good music to come out. So when I came across this album I figured this was something people, especially on this forum, could really use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I hate fucking bands who's band-name I actually have to figure out how to say them . So is it "MGMT" like literally M-G-M-T? I read somewhere about them being called "Management"? WTF is with that? How do I recommend them to people if I can't even say their name? Bands are stupid sometimes.

Rolling Stone or Wikipedia? Haha I hate this sort of stuff.I want to hear their stuff that the band says sounds "too polished", I wonder if it's floating around on an EP or anything, I suppose I should check out wiki I guess.

MGMT = commonly used abbreviation of the word "management." They switched to make themselves stand out a bit more, because "MGMT" looks a lot cooler than "Management."

Randy Lahey Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Here's a video interview on NME where they talk about the name. They refer to themselves as M-G-M-T.http://www.nme.com/video/id/LcdekkuVe9EAt the end of the day it's not the name that matters it's the music.I figured I'd bump this thread. Seems like these guys are staring to catch on. Edited March 22, 2008 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
