southeast Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I dunno if you people are following @Destrokkers on Twitter, but it seems like the gig last night at Fillamore in Miami has been absolutely amazing. Pple were tweeting about it like crazy and were stunned by their live show (ha, we knew it all the time, right) and @Destrokkers were RT all the time. I wish I was there to witness it. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I've been away for a few days and feel like I have a few MGMT-related things to catch up with, and now I see Taylor's mega report is ready too....!! I need a couple of quiet hours later today, I think. Not to mention the Mika stuff to catch up on too (lest I forget whose fanclub this actually is ).

That's always the sign of a talented report writer.

I've been reading the first part. It's such fun! I wish I was there with you. Haha, James sounds real stoned. I am sure he remembers you like some kind of beautiful angel that floated at that gig in the air around him and smiled and waved at him and understood what he thinks in a kind of telepathic way... But hey, can you explain to me how can one play such beautiful music and at the same time be as stoned as that? I mean, I think I would just collapse on stage and sleep or vomit or something, it's really weird for me that he still can play the right notes... But I am not that experienced with weed, so I don't really know how it feels to be as stoned as that. I really enjoy your report, will read and write something longer about it tomorrow! Thank you, Taylor! It's even better reading this that watching a lifestream gig, it feels so real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipopgirl83 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hey it is actually the MGikamtfanclub And Tayler you can start writing a book ! HA. Indeed it is. I would love to. I'd love to write an MGMT book. And wow, Taylor, I think I needa print your document out to read... Haha, yeah. It's just a teeny bit shorter than the other one. And by shorter, I mean one page. It's 23 pages long on Microsoft word...not double spaced. I've just finished reading it. PHEW!! The word 'epic' really does it no justice at all! Really enjoyed it, thanks. You write so well.

That part I bolded pretty much made my day. I would only hope that's what he was thinking. Thanks for reading it. I'm glad you liked it.

southeast Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I just read the second part about the Jimmy Kimmel show. How cool is this! I would kill to get that close to them while they are playing. Just standing there and listening. *sigh* So happy for you for going in there and having this experience! You know what? I have decided something about my gig in December (sold out, btw!). I don't know if there will be an M&G at all and who from the band will show up at that M&G. And since I am sure that I won't be able to say anything coherent to them except "Thank you", I thought about writing the whole band a letter and just giving it to whoever shows up (band, manager, whatever). At least this way I could tell them that I really like "Congratulations". What do you pple think about that? Is it a stupid thing to do? I mean, I don't want to write something like "OMGOMGOMGOMG", I just want to tell them that I understand and appreciate their music and the hard work behind it. And that there are pple out there who go to gigs because of Congratulations and not inspite of it. And I wanted to tell them they should release a CD with the prolonged versions of their songs. Or at least a live CD. It would be amazing. I dunno, I always think a letter lasts at least a bit longer than a spoken "Thank you". Oh, yes, I could sign with "puppets". EDIT: If you guys want to add something to that letter, you're welcome. (socks incidents, ale throw incidents, James incidents ) or anything else you wanna tell them, just go on. At the end I'll print it out and sign it with "Your fans". Or with our names. Or whatever. Edited October 28, 2010 by southeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. VanWyngarden: “Once we get really depressed, we’ll do the hard drugs.” Mr. Goldwasser: “We’ll make our heroin album. It will be all slow and depressing. It will be critically acclaimed but not sell very many copies, and then nobody will hear from us for maybe 10 years. And then we’ll make a comeback.” Can someone of the native speakers tell me what: "cavorting with groupies and acting debaucherous" and "is a furniture and design buff" means? Thanks.

Of course I can't know this for sure but they seem like the kind of guys who would definitely read a letter like that, and appreciate it. Didn't they once say in an interview that they like handwritten letters? (wish I had time right now to find the link).And I feel sure that one letter like the one you're thinking of would mean more than a hundred OMG MARRY ME ANDREW AND GIVE ME BABIESSSSS type squeals.

Yes it's a good little interview. 'cavorting with groupies' means sleeping with female fans 'debauchery' is indulgence in sensual pleasures, often of an illicit nature and a 'buff' is another word for expert or knowledgeable person. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll talk to Clare and see if she wants to include anything or if we want to wait until we see them next. Thank you so much for offering to let us include stuff; this is your personal experience after all. It's all about you. I am sorry, but I just LMAO. Did you read this one? It's an old one.

I love that interview and how they refer to them as Mr. VanWyngarden and Mr. Goldwasser. So cute. "Cavorting wth groupies and acting debaucherous" = having fun and playing around with groupies and acting overly crazy "Furniture and desgin buff" = someone who's deeply interested in furniture and home design. "buff" is slang for a big fan of something. We could be called "MGMT buffs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they'll appreciate the "puppets" ending:teehee: And yes, I think it's a good idea too. This reminds me that I used to write letters to a Hong Kong singer whom I adored (and still adore) when I was younger... really silly words, but as long as they're from your heart, why not? And thanks for your offer. Actually I really wanna let them know they don't only have Asian fans in Japan. There's a girl in Hong Kong who's trying her best to sort things out in order to go to Europe to see them simply because they write and play wonderful music. But I think a hand-written one is a lot more fabulous. I don't want any of my cold computer-typed words ruin your sweet note! I'll see. "Furniture and desgin buff" = someone who's deeply interested in furniture and home design. "buff" is slang for a big fan of something. We could be called "MGMT buffs." By the way I have a question: is the word "groupie" itself implying anything sexual or what? It seems a really negative word. If I say I am a MGMT groupie, am I degrading myself in any way??

Gatagordinha Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 By the way I have a question: is the word "groupie" itself implying anything sexual or what? It seems a really negative word. If I say I am a MGMT groupie, am I degrading myself in any way?? The word groupie does have a sexual connotation, yes, but only if you take the extreme definition. Wiki explains it well: A groupie is a person who seeks emotional and sexual intimacy with a musician or other celebrity. "Groupie" is derived from group in reference to a musical group, but the word is also used in a more general sense, especially in casual conversation. So it can mean literally a fan who has casual sexual relations with a celebrity they admire, but more often it's just a casual word for an enthusiastic fan - a bit like fangirl, I suppose. It depends on the context. So no, you're not degrading yourself in any way by saying you're a MGMT groupie because it's pretty obvious you're not that kind of groupie .

southeast Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thank you girls for the translation! TBH the posh appartment in Brooklin doesn't match the somewhat hippie image of Andrew in my head. But hey, we don't really know them well, do we? Thanks also for your feedback about the letter. Now I feel better about writing it, I wasn't sure if it is not a stupid idea after all. I want it to be a fan letter but without being fangirly. That's already difficult. But also handwritten? You should see my handwriting....terrible. Since I write almost only on my laptop I have forgotten to write properly with a pen on a sheet. Or I'll write it in Bulgarian, so they'll have to translate it first.
