The Dave Fridmann-produced Oracular Spectacular was in my Top 10 for 2008, and the album definitely has legs a year later. MGMT will play Bonnaroo this year, and hopefully there will be new material in the near term. The video has that cheapo chroma key quality of early ’80s Todd Rundgren videos, which is just fine.

Props for the edit-free version. I would glee my genes if MGMT would play NYE with the Flaming Lips. (No offense, stardeath.) Not open for them, but a 3-hour joint joint like the team-up like they did with the Beck. I can dream, can't I?

It's working, then.

Which answer do you want? Actually, it's a serious trend, and with music video presence all but dead on television, directors are going with more lysergic, magic mushroom concepts to keep you entranced during the long, dull day at work.

What's the deal with all the trippy videos lately? Is this a trend or is George having flashbacks?
George Lang was born in Oklahoma City and raised in Houston and Tulsa. Following graduation from Jenks High School, Lang spent time in the military before studying journalism at the University of Oklahoma.
Beginning in 1994, Lang covered crime stories and local media, culminating in coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing and the many stories surrounding that tragedy. By the late 1990s, Lang's focus shifted to fine arts, features and popular culture, ultimately leading to his current position as assistant entertainment editor for The Oklahoman and editor of LOOKatOKC.
His blog, StaticBlog, was one of the first blogs on NewsOK.com. He his wife have one son, and they currently live in Oklahoma City.
