McCartney - ' I want to work with MGMT'

The former Beatle revealed his admiration for the psych-pop duo, and said that if they rang he up he would be happy to collaborate.
He added: "We need to talk about it. I can't call them. If they called me, I'd say, 'How did you get my number?'. But I'd do it."
McCartney is undoubedly part of a sacred bunch that has carte blanche with who they want to work with. If he rang me wanting to collaborate on ‘Humpty Dumpty’ I’d be in – he’d have to call me though.
Any Beatles or MGMT fans think that it shouldn’t happen?

I am not in support of this. I am too big of an MGMT fan and not a big Beatles fan. I also think McCarthey's statement about it is really weird ... why can't he call them? and why would his first reaction be 'how did you get my number?' Prick.

McCartney ruined Coachella for me. The only capacity in which I could or would like to see MGMT collaborate with him is on a producer scale. Maybe if he got them to make better tunes he wouldn't sound so trite. But if this is the case, the dude should call THEM. That's lame.

I don't know that Macca has much more to give based on his albums for the last 20 years. The last collaboration I liked of his was with Elvis Costello

oh ... see ... now i know what their music is missing to make it interesting ... drugs. As I vividly recall, psychedelics lower a person's "wow" threshold to the point even the the banal is (literally) dripping with depth and meaning, or the truly derivative seem fresh and new.
It's been too long... drugs. Too long. I sorta miss you. Sorta. But mostly not.

ignorant, drugs do enhance, but because you experience different ways of perceiving while you're under their influence doesn't make the experience any less real or significant to the person experiencing it, sober or otherwise.

Thargor, you are quick to throw the term "ignorant" at me. Seems like a bit of an extreme reaction, really.
I think drugs might make listening to MGMT something I'd enjoy. I said nothing about how "real" any experience is to the experiencer.
wow.

That would be sweet. McCartney could get into his Sgt. Pepper's/Magical Mystery Tour state of mind and the collaboration might be some of the best modern psychedelic rock/pop of all time.

He will suck their youthful energy, like a vampire.
And they already suck enough, for seriouslies.
So this would be a bad move for them.

Wow. The potential of the two creating something truely magnificent is huge. I remember first hearing oracular spectacular and thinking of the emotions that magical mystery tour evokes. The music mgmt has managed to create today is definitely reincarnate of the psych-pop of that era. I hope they get that number.

Nice one Macca this could be a good thing. However some of Macca's other collaborations are a little bit dodge. Does anyone remember Say Say Say?
