We write songs with our headbands. They don't come out of our head but out of our headbands. Nobody has ever done that before so we're kind a special that way.
"this is..." "Andrew" "And..." "Ben" "very good" Andrew and ben are thinking, yeah we think we know our own names'. i laughed when they sorta looked at each other like what the hell?
"Do you like hear a drop of water on the table or...." *weird laugh* Ben's expressionless face when she says that! i would have loved to hear what the guys were thinking while being interviwed.
Sleep deprivation usually does bring some sorta "trippyness" into life. When you haven't slept for ages, your eyes tire out. You might see little balls of light all around, but usually it's sensitivity to light when tired. Shadows might seem like they move and sounds become really weird and muffled and stuff. Time speeds up and you might feel like a month passes in a couple of hours. Then as your brain tires more, you might get closer to your subconcious. These are my experiences, it differs.
I bought thir CD and this is what is says: All music written, arranged, and performed by Vanwyngarden and Goldwasser All lyrics by Vanwyngarden, except "The Youth" and "Electric Feel" by both Vanwyngarden and Goldwasser
He seems to be an anxious person who somebody else would probably have to pursue it themselves if they want to build rapport, otherwise he'd just kind of let them float on by because he's also tranquil in his internal world
Andrew acts so childish around pretty girls , he goes kinda self defensive and quiet. Which actually just makes him more adorable... and he doesn't even know
music is what they've always just done for fun. and not that i agree that their lyrics aren't meaningful, because they are...just not in a generic way and in more of a broad sense, but if they're just doing it for the pure joy and experimentation then lyrics aren't really the main focus...it's the combination of the lyrics, sounds, genre, influences, and personality. that's what makes this band brilliant.
Q: when are you most creative? "usually when i'm like really hungover or haven't slept for a couple of days"... well said, i can relate and no i'm not "stoned"
yeah it is i struggle with sleep, and then have to be up early the next day for college and if it gets too late i just dont sleep and go straight to college and i feel myself talking and acting really stoned i come up with random stuff and im really giggly lol sleep deprivation is like being stoned indeed!

just because they ask weird questions or make moments awkward doesn't always necessarily mean that they're a bad interviewer. Sometimes they're simply unprepared. I bet this girl was improvising most of, if not that entire thing. Cut her some slack guys...
"...and I'm at the National Arts Club with MGMT. This is... [open hand gesture]" 'Andrew' "... and" 'Ben' "Very good" I know they have a song called 'Kids' but they're not. Who the fuck sent her for the interview? This is painful, I stopped after 0:17.
i dont think it is possible to interview these guys..you will prolly have to get stoned with them and then..you will understand where there awesome music comes from
umm disproportionate # of haters in the comments here. it's pretty f-cking apparent that andrew just thinks she's attractive, and is acting a little bit shy as a result. her questions are fine and she is finerr
I wish this band did have more meaningful lyrics. They have a great sound but I guess they're more interested in partying and making pop songs(they did call themselves pop). It's a shame. Oh yeah, and ZOMG :0 THIR SO HAWT N COOT LAWL. Wait. No. I just got caught up in what every other comment on here is saying. Forget that.
@ Camponadatrevas: chill out dood, its only sexist when you make it that way. It just made for a crappy interview thats all. Haha! Oh yeah.....one more thing. I'm a female, whos the sexist fu*k now now? Wow.......(laughing inside)
