MGMT On New Album + Animals @ V Fest (Video)

MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden sat down with NME during V Fest last weekend and, though he seems distracted, he makes no qualms about divulging his desire to connect with all the animals in the nearby woods. “There’s really nice woods around here, there’s elk and goats,” he told NME. “The animals are over there in the fields, I’m going to go and try talk to them. I think we’re going to try and rock their faces off later.”

On a more serious note, he mentions the progress that he and MGMT bandmate Ben Goldwasser have made on their anticipated sophomore release and where the duo drew inspiration from.

Insound 10 Classic Designs by Mike Perry

If there’s anything better than influential music albums, it’s great artwork to accompany and honor them. That’s just what Insound is doing for ten groundbreaking (and therefore classic) releases between postpunk’s birth in 1977 through new wave and the indie scene until 1997. From the Brooklyn-based artistic genius that is Mike Perry come these beautifully designed American Apparel tee shirts ($22), silk-screened posters ($30), and cotton tote bags ($18). Also, Perry does hand-lettering, and everything is limited and numbered. Here for more info.

Mutek 24 Hour Review

Mutek’s tenth edition line-up was a reflection of where dance music continues to push the boundaries and maintain its solid foundation. Annually, according to the festival, over 54 per cent of Mutek attendees travel from places outside of Quebec – Chicago, Edmonton, Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver and Europe – for an experience that Time Out New York has called “North America’s leading electronic-music event.” Thus, it should come as no surprise then, that Mutek recently won Quebec’s Tourism Grand Prize for ‘Festivals and Touristic Events’. I was one of many avid techno tourists who attended Mutek’s 10th edition.
