MGMT, Quit Making Weird Videos: Music Intervention

HAHAHAHAHA Ell out of trachea. Sergio is so funny

How do you make extremely catchy music yet keep an enigmatic persona? Make weird music videos.

MGMT should make a video where they're on a set and they stand there and play music with lights behind them. AW YEAH!

The interventions are only good when the artists/targets are annoying and TRUELY deserve an intervention. Asking MGNT to stop being so weird...that's more of a mild critism.

Plus, Sergio pretty much spent 70% of the segment telling them they're awesome. Where's the fun in that?

That one-word "Williamsburg" aside produced an involuntary, loud chortle and accompanying clap.

thank you Sergio! I'm a long time fan of MGMT and even went to a concert of theirs, and I've enjoyed the creative uniqueness of all their older videos, but the music video for Congratulations definitely was a little more 'out there' than what I can swallow....but hey, that's what makes them great!

You can have an intervention for Regina Spektor. She's awesome.

Maybe . . . she has all this non-singing in her music (not that I don't like that). Like the glottal stops in Fidelity. She also makes dolphin sounds in Folding Chair.

Also, she's only released three albums since she joined Sire Records in 2004. It's not like she doesn't have the material, she has like 100's of unreleased songs.

Does she need an intervention? Probably not. Will it be funny? The power is YOUUURS!

i'm not gonna lie, i pretty much love everything mgmt creates.

I say turn up the weirdness! As long as the weirdness doesn't go into H.R. Giger level or Bosch people will always dig it.

You know, I'm beginning to think Sergio's the one that needs an intervention these days. The douchey putdowns and mudslings were cool for obvious targets, but now he's just trying too hard. Maybe someone can put together one for him?

MGMT is the LAST band that needed an intervention. Why should they have to conform to the mainstream, boring pop culture, predictable music videos? Yeah, that's what I mainly wanted to know.

I for one really find there creepy weird videos kinda interesting in a driving slowly by a narly accident kinda way

Sergio hit the nail with a hammer, he's awesome

another amazing intervention Sergio :)

"catchy like jerry rice"

really?

ha.

i like weird random stuff personally,music videos are an art form that a lot of people don't capitalize on. when you really like a song a good music video can make it a lot better

I guess I just dig on their music videos. I think they're nice psychedelic supplements to their music. Plus, I admit to being an MGMT fangirl.

I like bizarre vids like those of MGMT and the Flaming Lips. No, they're not total eye candy, but take music to a different level of surrealism.

Aw, Sergio's a fanboy. Cute.

Wow. I'm actually the first one to make a comment.

Cool.

MGMT's music does not speak to me at all.

Well, except for Flash Delirium.

TRUE. i was wondering why i only saw MGMT videos on the internet...they're too fucking weeeeeird.
