I don’t think I’ve seen a worse live performance from a band I actually like than what MGMT did on SNL this past week. It seems like they are on one long acid trip, the problem is, us listeners aren’t on acid, we’re on planet earth. This is just sad to watch…MGMT what happened to you?

This is one of the best records of the year so far and will be right up there at the end. If you are into MGMT then you will dig Phoenix. Easily the best French band I’ve ever heard, though I couldn’t name another one, even still they take the top spot. They just released their record Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and I highly recommend picking it up. Here’s a video to give you a nice sample.

Lisztomania (The Brat Pack Special)

Anyone know any better French bands? Please chime in.

My bro sent me this video of MGMT live on Abbey Road. Electric Feel is just a killer song and this is a killer performance. Skip to 1:30 to get to the music. This video has been tripping out a bit showing “unavailable” randomly. So if you first don’t succeed, try try again.

Another great tune of theirs live, Time to Pretend. Skip to 1:00 for the music.
