Love because that album totally rocked my last fall/this January. I seriously listened to it for like two months straight and got really, really behind on listening to all the other albums I was supposed to be sorting through for assignments (in fact, the only way I was able to peel myself away from it was by getting my paws on the new Why? album, and then Son Lux). And also love because their show with Yeasayer at Emo's on the day Heath Ledger died was almost as exciting as the day Arcade Fire opened for the Unicorns at the same venue and I shat my pants with the awesomeness of it. It would have even been <i>as</i> exciting if, you know, Heath Ledger hadn't just died. That put a damper on things. But I also hate them because they fuck around! I mean, yes, it's great that you subvert the status quo by refusing to rise to your fans' expectations. It's <i>so artistic</i> of you to dick around on stage, often totally plastered, instead of performing the songs that these people paid to see you play. Wow, man, <i>nobody</i> has ever done that before. They blew their first tour so bad (the same one where they rocked panties off at Emo's) that Columbia had to fire their friend/tour manager and send in a professional. Some people would say that's revolutionary, but I think it's just immature. But I mostly love them. And I'm envious of your McCarren Park Pool Party experience. Jerk. You know, I love and hate MGMT.

And then I made Kamran pull it up on YouTube last night so we could dance to it together. But I still haven't seen the video. Guess I need to get on that. "Kids" totally makes me want to wear zebra make-up every time I go out, though.
