    @WR3ND Před 7 lety +23

    I always thought the part about missing their families was the most real. It's not so much literal, I think. You know, like being a child again and loving unconditionally and finding out that everyone you love will one day die. In part, that child has to be left behind.

    Andrew- "no one puts acid in cookies! but you can scare people by saying that..."
    Ben- "we had a bag of regular cookies, and someone wrote 'acid cookies' on the bag."
    Andrew- "i did that cause i wanted more of the cookies for myself!"
    this is why they are my favorite band.
    MGMT forever!

    Very good interview. MGMT is so unique. I've loved them since Management, and I'll love them till I die. People who don't understand that music is expressions and feeling rather then cash in the bank are morons

    @kagadooo Před 13 lety +3

    i really think that they´re trying to be honest in what they´re doing...they LOVE music. they don´t need money or fame. i really think that congratulations is such a good album...and i like it when you can think about it, about the lyrics and have your own personal interpretation. the "duty" of music is to move peoples hearts and minds, right? and not how many people buy their records or what an old, frustrated and cynical editor thinks about it...

    I think a lot of bands are somewhat sarcastic about their music. If they had fun making it then I don't see the problem! I'm kinda glad they aren't serious about Time to Pretend, granted it is my favorite song of theirs. These guys remind me a lot of how kids in my town are. I could totally see myself chillin' with Andrew haha.

    • @TheSnowsbeauty5
      @TheSnowsbeauty5 Před 10 lety

      I understand, I have a friend that feels the same as you. I understand having panic attacks, as I have had a number of them in my lifetime. The last one I had about 2 yrs ago. I was in a pharmacy and as I picked up my script my stomach started to feel sick (never has happened before while shopping;) Then I walked to aisles down to the last aisle to check out the vitamins (nobody else in the aisle)..moved to the center of the aisle. Started feeling very nauseas,,heart started pounding hard and fast. Just then, out of the right corner of my eye a very old black man in raggedy clothes turned the corner to my aisle, I could not move at all,.All my energy was being drained out of me. I was sweating profusely.Then I could feel him in back of me, standing there, while I just struggled to remain on my feet. I prayed to myself that he would move and go. Once he saw he could not take me over (I guess, because I swear the man was a dead person's spirit)..I then saw him out of the left corner of my eye, he left the aisle. I could barely move,my body felt very heavy, but I struggled, trying to run almost, all the way to the end of the aisle and grabbed a bottle of spring water and drank it all down. x
