I discovered MGMT only recently, after David Swindle told me to get their album “Oracular Spectacular.” It took me exactly 30 seconds to fall in love with them. They’re rough, they’re raw, they play rock as it was meant to be played. Here they are with “Kids.”

Bernie Goldberg Thinks I’m a “Kool Aid Drinker” Since I Was Unimpressed by His Toothless Criticisms of the “Hard Right” on O’Reilly
