Well spotted! I hadn't even noticed the shoes. I'm so unobservant . He DM'd you? That's so nice. He does seem like a nice man. I've only ever tweeted him once (to say I met his son and what a gentleman he was ). He makes me giggle though with some of the weird things he tweets and I only ever follow people that make me laugh or think, or preferably both . And the article is very good. I love how basically honest and self aware Andrew is, when you see past the random BS he sometimes is prone to. Yes I noticed that; he is always tweeting Lala . I'm surprised James doesn't have Twitter, as he seems the kind of person who would have a good laugh with it .

Matt looks like he's been to the tanning salon . I'm still listening to the Bataclan gig...and PMSL at Andrew singing Brian Eno in that baritone .

The Bataclan gig is now up on Spotify: https://www.spotify.com/fr/blog/archives/2010/10/19/mgmt-vod/ Edit: Really enjoying this. Is it me or are they just getting better and better live, really quickly now? Best live version of It's Working I've heard yet. They seem to ooze confidence in delivering the songs now.

He should wear make up all the time .

I'm feasting now . Brilliant stuff!! Siberian Breaks sounds incredible. Looking forward to that!

I just knew one of them would say that they would fondle themselves . Every man says that when asked that question .

Thanks for the report and the tweets too, it sounds like you had a great time . That's a long set for a festival! What a treat! 4th DT is great live isn't it; it blew me away in Manchester. And I wonder what the bit at the end of The Handshake was?? Intriguing. Also, I have to agree with what you said in your tweets, about you really only wanting to shake hands with them and say thanks for everything, after the show. I'm so glad you said that. It really annoys me too when fans say stupid and frankly embarrassing things to Andrew (or whoever), especially if they are way old enough to know better! One woman -woman, not girl - at Manchester shouted something to him along the lines of "I want your sperm Andrew!!" . Well...I cringed for her right down to my toes, and for Andrew too (though no doubt he's heard far worse:sneaky2:). NOT COOL, though . I'm not being holier-than-thou here btw...I'm the first to admit I had a little "moment" right after meeting Andrew , but I made sure I was WELL out of earshot first!! I'm only human but hopefully a respectful one, and definitely old enough to know better .

It's really good! I love the vocal arrangement they've done with it. I really enjoy seeing enthusiastic children's choirs Things like this prove what a universally good pop song Kids is. I do hope that despite everything, Andrew and Ben are proud of how that song they wrote so long ago still connects with people. Hope you have a great time! Hope to see some good tweets...!

I'm guessing we've all seen this by now (if we use Tumblr): I think it's my favourite gif ever in the history of gifs .

You're cruel. I didn't hear the World Cafe thing, but I did see Bruce's tweet about the mispronunciation

That's a really good interview, T4P. Doesn't it make you just want to hug the pair of them?? Or is that just me?

Mandrew.... Drinking tea! That's so rock and roll, boys

Haha, I've just posted to suzie on that other thread that I'm going to quickly edit out all the fangirlish bits from my posts here, before she sees them !! Ok, let the serious discussion begin . Andrew is pretty. Sorry, I mean, pretty good at remembering lyrics . I'm sure he messed up on Congratulations though in Manchester . I will have to go to Youtube to verify that though! And that's good news about spotify..I've been trying to find the so-called 'captation du concert' ever since last week, but it didn't seem to exist . So it's good that they finally seem to be putting it on there.

Yes I get what you mean about Andrew That's such a shame about Barcelona . What about the Lisbon or Madrid gigs? Any chance you could go there? Both fabulous cities.

Yeah I do know what you mean . And Ben is definitely my type: a bit geeky and shy The phrase exists in English too; it's 'still waters run deep' .

I like them both, I don't really have a favourite. I guess I like them in different ways . I guess I overstate the case for Ben sometimes because it annoys me that a lot of casual MGMT fans are just Andrew fangurls, whereas I personally do find Ben very attractive too, just in a different way I always have the feeling I'd probably get along better with Ben than Andrew, if I knew them.

I know! What's he going on about? Who is Favre?

I had a great MGMT dream last night. I was in a Water Park with them all, and I went in this big whirlpool thing with Andrew. We were riding around really fast on this inflatable dolphin I was lying on the dolphin and Andrew was lying on top of me on my back :roftl:I think I'd better stop there. It was very nice though.

It's not any special version it's just a basic CD with a fold-out sheet of lyrics which has a picture on the back, like a small poster. I'm not really a collector of special stuff, in fact it's not often I even buy physical CDs at all these days. Really??? for some reason, that's made me very happy. This is just going to be awesome!!!

I'm so annoyed..I am sure the gig from last night is available on spotify to rewatch for another month, but when I go to the spotify blog, all I get is a blank box where a video should be. I'm having this same problem quite often with other videos/links/pics in Internet Explorer . And I can't use Firefox because that just totally crashes on me. Has anyone used Google Chrome?? I can live without seeing last night's concert, but still, it's so frustrating knowing it's there (well, Spotify France say it's there??) and not being able to access it. I know It must be gutting for them to know that they made a great album, which many true fans do adore, but which just hasn't connected with the masses. However, they must have known that this might happen. They MUST have? They knew it was a less commercial album. I really wish I had told Andrew how much I love Congratulations (I'm repeating myself again, sorry). I know that if I was in his position, it would mean a lot to me to just hear a few fans tell me that to my face now and again . Perhaps I am fantasising here () but I like to think that when he handed me back the lyric sheet from Congrats that I'd asked him to sign and he looked straight into my eyes and smiled that he was acknowledging the fact I own the album. Yeah I know, it's a stretch , but it makes me happy LOL.

Missed the livestream tonight, had to be the sociable wife and mother tonight but well, just occasionally, there IS more to life than MGMT, or so they tell me.....?!?! Sounds like it was great though and I believe the whole thing is available to watch again on Spotify for the next week so I'll catch up with it. There's just nothing like watching these things live though... it's why the internet was invented, let's not be in any doubt Glad some of you guys got to see it though! Edit: SE, your sig is mesmerising! Even the dirty socks! lol

Aw shame. I do speak French so that wouldn't be a problem, but without the full article it's a bit pointless. Never mind. It's probably the same old stuff anyway . Violens seem to be quite popular in France.

I really want to read that article too!! I love Jorge Do you have scans which show the whole article? This all sounds very much like my own experience in Manchester. If we'd queued just half an hour earlier than we did (which was pretty late!) we would probably have got front row. It was quite relaxed. As it was, though, we went to Mcdonalds instead.. When Karen and I met Andrew afterwards we also thought his speaking voice was quite high pitched. And yes, he comes across as a little bit shy. Don't know how to really explain this but he has a lovely aura about him..very 'soft' for want of a better word . He kind of projects lovely soft vibes. Ben's so fascinating to watch on stage though!! I had a great view of him, and spent a lot of my time watching him. He didn't speak except for when he was commenting on the infamous beer-throwing-at-Will-incident (which can be heard clearly at the end of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS3GxhMwvbw). But after nearly every song he would walk to the edge of the stage and have a little chat with the roadie who sets up his equipment (aside: he was cute ) and I couldn't decide if he was having technical problems or just having a chat . He smiled a lot anyway and seemed to be drinking beer during the set. Did I mention I love Ben?

They played all three at Manchester I'd love to hear Love Always Remains too, but I think a live version would have to be so different. The vocal harmonies might be a bit too much. I reckon Boogie Down would be easier. Anyway I just want to hear Andrew sing 'I wanna check out your components' .

Wooaah...I haven't seen that one before. Nice pic...and sickeningly perfect skin .
