Please could you take a look at Romain Axisa’s work at some point? He was a part of The Big Push with Ren and has some really beautiful songs of his own. He does instrumental guitar songs like ‘Django’ but he also has a delightful singing voice. ‘Happy Song’ and ‘75 Beats Per Minute’ are particularly enthralling songs. 🙏🏻 Thanks! 🥰
Not bad.....🤷🏼
Why do you still have hat hair? 😂
@@jeffmunkynutz1568 I don't, I just washed it before filming.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain I think it looks fantastic. 😂
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain You're freaking adorable and hilarious. Just found your channel

This absolutely broke my heart.. she’s a strong girl though. 💪♥️
Doesn't make it less painful pal. A blooming philosopher you are. Only thing precious here is your hollow mouth, glass jaw, vanity and ego 😉 it always begins with an order from a subjected weak man grasping for false authority, "Don't Be!"🙄 May you be the 1 of 3 with Stage 3 to 4 pancreatic bub 😊
@@zebontheweballow them and her going through it to approach their Life as they will. Nobody in this position wants to hear your wise words. Even if you are a survivor this isn’t helpful.
MGMT have always done their own thing, never being bothered if they are successful or not. Totally genuine with it as well. Congratulations is one of the most interesting and imaginative albums ever made imo.
Congratulations in some ways feels like the peak of psychedelia for my generation, but tbh Oracular Spectacular is up there too it tends to get remembered for its singles but the album tracks were genuine modern prog epics.
You gotta listen to their second album 'Congratulations', one of the best albums ever.
Just came on here to say the same thing. MGMT are modern music geniuses.
Congratulations and Little Dark Age are both great albums imo
That would be amazing. Congratulations is worth looking at just for Siberian Breaks. The rest of the album is still amazing, but Siberian Breaks is just out of this world IMO.
@@BubblegumDog_ Siberian Breaks is absolutely magical live too!
@@pendragon6207 I believe you! I have unfortunately only seen videos of their live performances since I only really discovered them 3 years ago. I hope to see them live one day though :)
Mgmt is legendary. Their first two albuns are pure gold. Generation defining stuff
True
Little Dark Age as well tbh. They've only made one duff album out of the four in my opinion.
@@bswalem self titled is fucking awesome in it's own way :P
👍
@@ThiefOfBaghdad Self titled is kinda.. different. Very hypnotizing tracks that you kinda "have" to melt into. Very understandable why people didn't jell with it.
The thing about MGMT is that no two songs are similar, really. They play in a LOT of different genres of music, often on the same album. Some of it lands, some of it doesn't, but it's absolutely a band worth exploring sometime, as there aren't a lot of bands who have no fear to explore that way, as many pick a "sound" and stick with it in order to cement an "identity" in the market - and they don't. This has probably cost them the kind of "mega-success" they *could* have had if they had just stuck with making "Time to Pretend" or "Kids" over and over again - but instead, they just follow their own muse, which I have tons of respect for - and when their stuff *does* land, it's brilliant. But even the tracks that don't are always interesting.
I also have great respect for them for this very reason
kids, time to pretend and electric feel were never serious songs, they were parodies of modern pop music
They are like Radiohead. It takes a bit of time for the brain to comprehend the music ... but if it does, it's absolutely mesmerizing.
That's impressive because usually record companies treat anyone whose material isn't firmly 'in genre' as radioactive.
Ariel pink produced album was one of their best
MGMT is worth a deep dive. They are probably the most interesting band going currently. They have chosen a strange but wonderful path that sees them reinvent themselves over and over again with varying degrees of success. I think it's commendable. Their first album is damn near perfect (Oracular Spectacular) and it brought them instant success. Their second album (Congratulations) is a masterpiece in my eyes and it's nothing like the first album. I'm sure their label was unhappy about that. Loss of Life is revealing yet another side of MGMT. I love it.
They are masters - their best work exists beyond the “hits”
Their album Congratulations is a favourite although underrated by their pop fans. because it didn't follow on from their hit singles.
Its much more like this, psychedelic and wistful
Such an underrated album... Opening track "It's Working" is honestly in my Top 50 all time
@@EricSelle777 yeah its great. And little numbers like Dan Treacy or Brain Eno are impossible not to move to!
@@Tonedefdom yeah those are fantastically weird bops
Bra all the closeups with the straight face are hilarious . Your melody memory is astounding . Have never seen that in anyone. You are a master. I am impressed.
It is Management.
this.. they were management and got their name stolen but it was early in their carreer
I’m so happy you covered MGMT. I love them so much! Also I can’t wait to see you in March 😊💗
What does the band name mean?
@@UpsonPrattJr. Management :)
@@MaisyLearmouth So that is what it means. Got it, thanks.
Their second album Congratulations is a must - key track there “Siberian Breaks”
My favourite band of the last 20 years! They did a live album called 11.11.11 which is all material that has never appeared on their studio albums! Awesome stuff
MGMT is an incredible duo. They've made pretty much every song conceivable. Hit an miss but when they get it right, it's magic.
MGMT were called The Management before they got big, and they're label initiated the change, I believe. I saw them in Wolverhampton Civil Hall years ago as they were my favourite band. It's nice to see your video about them. There was a couple of later albums that I thought was a bit ropey, but thankfully I've rediscovered a mad interest again. Loving the channel Justin. Keep it up man
I saw it months ago, and I'm a fan of MGMT. Time to Pretend is a fave. You do such a good job of appreciating all the aspects of this art. Well done, indeed, to you and to MGMT.
I binge this channel so much that I now catch my family members watching it on their phones :D love the video, as usual!
Thanks Justin. Fantastic video. It was such a privilege being able to watch you work out how the music, the lyrics and the video made you feel. Very emotional. Cheers for this
Thank you so much!
I found this video a few weeks ago, and enjoyed your appreciation of the composition. The video, obviously, is so endearing... "human," as you said.
At first I was a little skeptical of the video cause I’ve never seen any of your videos. But I loved the way you talked about them, and particularly the sounds you were hearing. This song also reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel the first time I heard it. And it was cool to hear you say that. I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how poetic and creatively written these songs are. And it was amazing to see you pick up on the tiny details like the oyster. And going through customs. Well done.
It has some 'Hotel California' style picking too. As a father of a child with limb difference, its heartening for you to avoid the obvious comment that most people would make about the video. Another great synopsis. Love the vids!
And The Darkness 😉
Loved this! "Harmonically Rich" was a great way to describe this song. In general I enjoy MGMT. Thanks for another great analysis.
Simon & Garfunkel vibes for sure - also reminded me of the late 60s band The Millennium. Nice Track !
Definitely. "It Won't Always Be the Same" should have been a hit.
I felt White Album vibes
Great song, Justin! Thanks for sharing it and the band with us. I hadn't heard of them before. Very interesting video. People are really amazing, sometimes.
Aw sickk! Love your band and MGMT ✊✊✌️
I so appreciate your intelligent and thoughtful reactions. Yours is the best analysis channel on RUclips, by far.
You should listen to their congratulations album. It’s very interesting, specifically give ‘it’s working’ and ‘flash delirium’ a listen. But ideally give the whole album a listen through. Thanks for the vid
Every one of their albums is majorly different from the last.
And Siberian Breaks !!!!!❤❤
Kids and Time to Pretend put MGMT on the map with their debut, but they have been consistently entertaining and interesting ever since. Justin, you might really dig a couple of their lesser known singles that no one has mentioned yet: Flash Delerium and Little Dark Age.
I was blown away when I heard it and now I'm really excited for their new album. Very complex yet catch songwriting and I LOVE the video
I think I just found my new favorite series on RUclips! Thanks, Justin Hawkins! I just spent 30minutes watching these!
The group making music today. Absolutely genius! I highly recommend diving into an album from start to finish.
Loving the cinematic look of this video.
I love this band and have been a giant fan when i got into them about 11 years ago. I love that i may not catch n album but have come back to enjoy new works knowing its going to be some kind of experience to add into my symphony of life.
Touching and in analyzing, compassionate. 📿
Saw them in Seattle and it was amazing. Then I saw the Darkness and MGMT took second place in my all time favorite bands to see live.
Very sophisticated sound......heard them a few times over the decades.......but my fave band for a long time was Sonic Youth.......very different. 3:46
Love all off MGMT's back catalogue (although 3rd album was a bit pants) but this album is shaping up to be something great with the tracks I've heard so far! Awesome video as per usual 😍
Honestly, they're one of the bands of my generation.
Consistently beautiful. Constantly evolving.
They started with megahits but man oh man has their catalog proven to be a constant companion.
Cried all throughout the new album
I love watching Justin's videos. They make the stress of the day melt away. MGMT is a great band. Very eclectic. Everyone
needs to listen to MGMT's Brian Eno if they haven't already. I've been listening to Nothing to Declare daily since its release.
Such a beautiful song. Can't wait for Loss of Life. I didn't think it was possible for Connecticut to produce such a super cool
band.
I have a suggestion no one probably wants, but if anyone likes MGMT's more psychedelic stuff, like Flash Delirium,
listen to it with Daily Nightly by The Monkees. Good stuff.
MGMT's song "Kids" released almost 15 years ago defined a vibe. Impossible to avoid that song popping off in so many cultural contexts.
Thank you for instantly realising who it was this reminded me of! BTW they were initially called The Management but changed to MGMT.
There is a Simon and Garfunkel vibe but it immediately reminded me of Mercury Rev, the production especially.
You single handedly encapsulated why this album will be known as MGMT's magnum opus with one word "Human". MGMT at times felt like it was missing this in some senses and this album humanizes them an a whole new level
Man MGMT is like the first band I have memory of listening to. Time to Pretend and Kids when I was like 10 or 11 maybe, what a throwback not listened to them in years, you should definitely listen to those 2, and electric feel which you mentioned. Dont mind this one either, very different to their older stuff though
You should listen to 'Siberian Breaks' by them. In my opinion it's their magnum opus.
Justin, you have to watch Paulo Nutini's live version of MGMT's 'Time to pretend' - brilliant vocals and the lyrics just come through so clearly, and will resonate for an auld rock'n'roller like yourself
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat. Mgmt are so genius
MGMT came out with a couple of the best alterna-pop songs ever with Kids and Electric Feel (Time to Pretend was pretty catchy too), and then they clearly tossed off the constricts of fame and any desire to churn out hits for their label. Now they are still soldiering on making the most esoteric and genuinely weird music of their career...and they still have a career despite following their own singular muse.
That said, they didn't even want those "hits" included on their first album but the label made them.
MGMT’s second album is very “Syd Barrett”. I’ve been wondering where they’ve been. Happy to see them back.
I would’ve never thought this is a MGMT song, sounds so different to the other stuff I know (which is not that much). Thanks for your thoughts about it. Fun to see / hear. I’m sick in bed but now feel better, thanks!
How lucky to discover MGMT for the first time!
Nothing to declare - Fine de claire, nice for finding this one
Dude, your facial expressions are the best man.
I think MGMT was from the Illuminatus Trilogy, oh and that guitar lick is very Doors Spanish Caravan.
The Boxer, S&G.
Bridge Over Troubled Water is such a good album
Always loved mgmt they are real ones
One of my favorites of all time
Totally surprised me as well! Love the sound and I agree, echoes of Simon and Garfunkel, which I loved! Going to check this band out! I wish there was more of S&G's, and CSNY type of music being written by new artists, but also produced in a manner where the vocals and instruments shine through as they are meant to. Not like the main stream stuff today where compression is added to everything! ✌️
They're actually quite experimental. You should listen to some of the intermediate albums. They are journeys into odd chord progressions and time signatures.
Agree Justin. Thought was most likely Cloudy by Simon and Garfunkel when first heard it. Love MGMT
Simply put it is quite beautiful. ❤
You're thinking of The Boxer by S & G....
electric feel (live on KCRW) is a great performance on RUclips. I'm pretty sure Justin's heard "kids" by MGMT? It were like sh1te in a field that song, bloody everywhere. It always reminds me of the early OMD song "electricity".
I thought I'd never heard of this band before but checked them out on Spotify and the song 'Kids' is definitely super familiar. - I think I used to hear it on fifa back in the day but I'm not entirely sure.
You’ve never heard time to pretend Christ, it’s one of the best songs ever
I was preoccupied listening to other stuff.
Yes, that’s obvious
@@rossfraser3415lol...ok
😂😂😂
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgainlike tugboat by galaxie 500?
first time you started to play I got the thought of Elliot Smith's Alameda
The Simon & Garfunkel tune it reminds you of is The Boxer.
It's a very powerful video.
Love ya, Justin. MGMT is great. Always complex and kind of floaty. To me at least.
You almost went into "Love On The Rocks With No Ice"
Dig up Electric Feel - it's an amazing record.
I wonder if the Paul Simon song it reminded you of is 'Run That Body Down'?
that's a treasure of a song
They remind me of Simon &Garfunkel...they are really good......have a nice week end Justin
Was just figuring this out today, capo on the fifth fret!
When you said at the beginning you were reminded of something… could swear you were going to say ”Eliot Smith”
MGMT is short for "Management" and they still sign their emails as "The Management" iirc. There was another band in the US using that name so they shortened it.
Try Capo on the 5th fret. C E7 Am E7 Am G F Dm F I can't put the timing of the chords down but this seems to work for the verse.
...the sound of silence
4:00 For a second it reminded me to the song Remember You from Adventure Time.
was it the boxer?
love your reactions justin
MGMT has for the last few decades, came out with some real bangers on occasion. Lately however, they've becoming Very Interesting with their compositions. If you're a songwriter, you need to pay attention to what they're doing, I feel.
How about an episode on Simon & Garfunkel?
I love them.
I’m with you, that’s going to need a handful of listens!
Siberian breaks is my favorite song by MGMT
I think you'd also like the live version of mgmt's of monsters and men
Have a good weekend Justin
MGMT is one of the best bands ever
you gotta check out the song that came out just before Nothing to declare. It's called bubblegum dog and there is so much interesting music stuff going on in that one
EDIT: you also need to hear Alien Days
thanks for content
you really should check out their album Congratulations.
Simon & Garfunkel was also the first that came into my mind.
song has a beautiful music video
Justin I had Simon and Garfunkel in my head just as you were about to say it. Great minds over here 😂
I would love to see you take apart an old classic rock tune (like "The Boys Are Back In Town"). Talking of the chord selection, solos, modes, bass and drum progression.
I think that would be both awesome and interesting. 😊
That was a lovely Jim Diamond aside.
It's strange he's never really heard of them.... when they blew up here in US their songs were everywhere & MGMT is awesome...I hope he watches Electric Feel sometime soon
