The attendance figures from last weekend’s All Points West Festival have been released and they ain’t pretty. Paul Tollett, president of Goldenvoice, the promoter, told the New York Times that paid attendance was 71,500 for all three days. Tollett also mentioned to the grey lady that attendance was down about 4,000 from last year due in large part to the horrible weather that enveloped the NYC

I was psyched to see MGMT as one of the headliners at the Treasure Island Music Festival, and they’ve been staying busy in the meantime. They just announced the remastered release of the Time to Pretend EP with a few tracks I’ve never heard before, and they’ve got a decent tour booked up until [...]Related posts:Tour Dates: The Flaming Lips 2009 Tour, New Album Due in Sept.Radiohead Announc

MGMT is what happens when Mick Jagger has sex with the ghost of the 1980's (who is one sassy vixen, I might add). Songs like "The Youth," "Pieces of What," and "Weekend Wars" have a 1970's Rolling Stones/Bowie vibe to them, yet they have been singed with 80's electro and synthesizer. "Weekend Wars," for example, begins with simple chord arpeggios, but shortly after the middle of the song, Pac-...

Back in February (seems like ages ago), I took it upon myself to point out to my readers and other people that I probably would never like MGMT. I did throw insults believing their popularity was do their promotion, criticizing their look and overall message etc. A few of the commenters were fellow Canadians were [...]

--- - |- After Bonnaroo I realized that literally everyone on the entire earth is already a fan of MGMT. So apparently I can stop promoting them so much now. In fact, it makes this post where I begged people to listen to them so they wouldn't get dropped by Columbia seem hilarious. Anyway, I have a cool [...] ~~- MGMT

This week has been rather ho-hum which has been great. Nothing phenomenal happened, but nothing horrible either. The weekend seems wide open (except for the much anticipated MDR set at the 810 on Saturday afternoon - don't miss it - it's FREE!). Time to organize and be creative for a bit….it's been [...]

It's hard to think up words to describe this week in the US. "Inspirational" has been floating out of peoples mouths all over, and I think I'm going to climb aboard that bandwagon. We've all heard for months now about change and how it's coming. Well…it's here…SWEET! Here's some tracks that hopefully aid your own [...]
