*†ƒ√ MGMT is pleased to announce (finally), from an undisclosed tropical paradise, the bona fide release of the O-fficial video for the authoritative song known succinctly as: "Kids." This is the first song we ever wrote, on a cold day in February way back in 2003. Yes, "Kids" is an Aquarius, but shows many traits of an Aries. The idea for the video was born about a year ago, at a mock-Italian cafe on Ninth Avenue in bustling Manhattan. We are both animated and stoked to reveal at this time that we once again worked with director Ray Tintori, someone who's known this song since it's inception. "Kids" has proven to be some kind of monster with a life of its own, both an albatross and a plate of mac and cheese with fake bacon (Annie's), and the process of creating this video was nearly as convoluted and veiny as the general style of this here letter of introduction. As Jerry Garcia once rudely remarked about the eventual and unavoidable filling in (with sand) of the historic United States Grand Canyon, "What a long strange rip it's been."
Without further ado, we give you:
"KIDS"
- MGMT

† yes, we are aware that Mark Twain was a satirist
ƒ yes, that is Joanna Newsom
√ no children were harmed in the making of this video
A Lennon tidbit came to mind: What do you think?, he asked about the songs from Double Fantasy, and I said, they tell your story, it's great. & that seemed ok~
Greetings Andrew and Ben, I just wanted to show my appreciation of your music by sending you this message.. You are my favorite band , I have been listening to you guys since your first album and im glad that I discovered your band when it first came out. Can't wait for your next album, "Climbing to new Lows".. I've heard most of the songs from it and its awesome. Anyways, I was wondering if there is a mailing address for MGMT so that I can send fan art, and fan mail, from myself. Your music is fuckin' awesome when your stoned, and I just wanted to show some love. I think you guys should be more famous than you are, not many people I know have heard of you, I kind of consider your music a revolution, because its so diffrent that most of the music in the media these days and I really admire that about you. If this is just a fan site and MGMT isn't really reading it oh well im an idiot then .. just thought i'd risk that embarrasment.
With warm regaurds,
Katie McEntee
P.S: I would have sent this in message form, but for some reason I wasn't able to.
