Going Tribal

Remember that time that weirdBro lead singer of MGMT put on Apocalypto tribal war paint as a tribute to the altGods so that they would grant his mediocre & generally overrated band worldwide success?

Is alternative war paint catching on?

BUT SRSLY... did some1 just play a game of alternative tic-tac-toe on her body?

The guy in MGMT is weird

Just saw these pix of the guy in MGMT.
I think it's important to talk about people with weird personal brands.

I don't hold it against them for being weird, but I just think it's okay to talk about them seeming weird bc that's who they are, and they have learned to accept it & capitalize off it. Kind of like that guy in Of Montreal and that <a href="

He has a good body. Maybe his record label can encourage him to transition into a 'sex symbol', and convert their music to the meaningful-core genre. He will probably just end up growing a 'crazy person beard' for their next album.

I don't think he's from an underworld. Probably just the same place that NELL was from. You know, that Jodie Foster movie where she has lived in the wilderness, and made up her own language, and eventually taught mainstream society that it is okay to be an alt-weirdo.

Or maybe he is from the same village as the bros in Apocalypto.


but srsly. is that a gang symbol? Is there any1 who know what this means, and can find a way to overhype why it is offensive? Like, 'this is the war paint of a tribe that held AZNs hostage in internment/death camps during World War II.'

PNAU: They're Pretty Weird

Pnau is pretty weird. But I still like some of their songs. I'm not sure if I can honestly say that I understand the concept of most of their songs or performances, but it works. Sometimes when older people make products that are excessively youthful, we have reason to be alarmed about their mental makeup, but I think the dudes in Pnau are healthy citizens, even though they use a lot of elements in their songs and performances that 'remind U of being a kid.'

Here are a few videos that prove PNAU is pretty weird.

1. A performance on what looks like the Australian TODAY SHOW. It's pretty mindblowing.

2. PNAU's video for "BABY", which seems like it should be on Nick Jr.
Pnau 'baby'

3. A live performance of "Embrace", their song featuring Ladyhawke. They replaced Ladyhawke with a sun

4. An interview with PNAU on Pedestrian.TV.

PNAU: I really like their songs, but I will always just think they are kind of weird, but their songs are still pretty amazing, but they're still pretty weird, but I still feel comfortable telling people I like them, but I wonder if a lot of people in Australia are weird.

What's the deal with Australians, yall? Are they growing on U, or r u tired of them?
