MGMT
The Ed Sullivan Theater
May 11th

it was no longer time to pretend that MGMT’s new album, Congratulations, sucked, cause in reality, their sophomore effort doesn’t suck twatsoever.  evidence of that was evident when we saw the boys in person on the Live On Letterman gig (which was simultaneously webcasted) last night at the renowned Ed Sullivan Theater.  if you think otherwise, maybe you should speak directly to the MGMT

set list:

Flash Delirium
Destrokk
The Youth
Electric Feel
It’s Working
The Handshake
Song for Dan Treacy
Time to Pretend
Congratulations
(encore)
Brian Eno

but what, no ‘I Found A Whistle‘????

the bowel moment you haven’t been weighting fore:

Thighs Wides Shuts’
Tops Nines Albums
Wees Heards
This Years*

Flight of the Conchords – Flight of the Conchords | Les Chansons d’Amour Soundtrack± | Beck – Modern Guilt | Gnarls Barkley – The Odd Couple | MGMT – Oracular Spectacular | R.E.M. – Accelerate | The Streets – Everything Is Borrowed | The Raconteurs – Consolers Of The Lonely | Neil Diamond – Home Before Dark

* that’s 9 out of the total 13 albums we listened to this past year. yeah, we’re pretty far removed from the musiq seen these days. too many movies. too many boobies. and who has time to waste listening to hot new bands that will release one amazing album and follow it up with zero good albums (MGMT is the exception cause they rule wethinks/wehopes)? the 14 year old version of the Thigh Master would be so upset with today’s 89 year old Thigh Master. we used to know the names of songs. we also used to drink 3 Cokes and eat a whole giant bag of chips 3 hours before dinner and then eat a full dinner. the moral of the story? life is hammazin, regardless of age, it’s juss different, different like strokes can be, and when you’re young, eat chips and drink Coke as much as you can cause you never know when you’ll have time to overindulge like that again, let alone have time to discover new music when there are so many other distractions in this day and age like Mickey Rourke’s broken face, baby Suri’s haircut, Jillian Beyor’s rack, string cheese, and the NFL playoffs, even if your team’s already been eliminated cause the NFL can’t lose even more than Parker Lewis can’t

± it was released in France in 2007, but we weren’t in France in 2007, so don’t give us any grief or be an au bon pain in the arse

[mo pics from CLme]

OK, so we missed all but one MGMT song cause we were too busy throwing TVs outta hotel rooms, and that sucked (the missing MGMT part, not the TV tossin), but we promises to see them another thyme cause they is totes rad y cool. anywho, in a short but very very berry sweet performance Beck was an A-Pro. he mixed bidness with pleasure, homework with heather, the freaks flocked together, and all the lesbians screamed. he was youthful, not youthless and the trails he blazed were chem-licious. the new tunes from Modern Guilt sounded beyond amazin AND thunderdome that it’s totally modern built to last, forevers. some might even say, his bestest work since the back2back infinite playlistednessness of Mutations and Midnite Vultures. he’s a midnite marauder, and we hopesszz he keeps bouncing. too bad the audience was tres lames and didn’t rock out as much as Beck or wees did. what’s wrong with you nia peoples?

bi the gay, if yer ever seeing a show at the Palace, be sure to eat and poop yer brains out across the street at the original El Malecón (there’s a second one located near ThighLand HQ). they have one of the moist yumtastic cubano sangwiches wees has mt EVERest had and mt FUJI!!!!
