C'mon.  People look at this at work.  Can you put a nsfw tag in your post, and add the link and NOT embed the image?

Fair enough...had to figure out what NSFW was first...

Can we get rid of this repulsive picture too?

MGMT
11/27, no venue announced yet but somewhere in DC
 

Woo! 

They are playing Stage AE in Pittsburgh.  Isn't the 9:30 Club the D.C. area's equivalent?  Or Constitution Hall?

maybe y'all missed the part about MGMT sucking balls these days:

I thought the last album was OK.

I wrote them off a long time ago, after seeing two dreadfully boring performances from them (Bonnaroo and at the 930 Club).  That being said, I kind of liked the Letterman video.  The song had a nice mellow/psychedelic vibe to it. 
Edit:
I really enjoyed their new one.  Its really good.

I went back and listened to the second MGMT album yesterday.  Not bad, but the new one is definitely better.

But how does it compare to their first album? 

[killsaly]

I barely remember the first one.  If I remember correctly, it had a couple of "hits" and a lot of filler.  The new one was filler less.  The second is probably my second favorite.  And the third is my current favorite.

Oh I love the first one and hate the second one.  First one seemed original to me and the second seemed like a retro 60's sound.

So far I only listened to two and three once time each, so my opinion is only going off of my initial listening.

Three definitely ups the 60s/psychedelic factor.

The first one had a few overplayed songs, but I honestly can't remember the rest either. I remember fucking hating the 2nd one. Will have to grab the new one and give it a spin. Thought they were boring as shit when I saw them live a couple years back.

what'd you expect? it's fun music, but i dont know how they could make a live act worthwhile out of their music.

i think there second album was one of the most underrated albums in the past few years.  it got a lot of playback from me.

I don't know, the tickets were free, so I wasn't disappointed or anything. It was boring.
