who is brian eno?

i told you all that i was going to go to a cd store and buy congratulations, the new mgmt album. well i did. (11 bicuits by the way) i went to grimeys. the next day i learned grimey's was voted as the 8th best indie record store in the nation (one of 2 from TN in the top 15). coincidence, maybe.

well, on the album, and on snl, there is a song called "Brian Eno."

this is what andrew vanwyngarden had to say about the track:
“It’s kind of a vampire-punk-rock song about finding Brian Eno in like a cathedral in Transylvania. He’s like a dark wizard. We originally asked him to produce the track, but he hadn’t heard of us.”
i can freely admit that while the name rang familiar, i had no idea who brian eno is. for some reason, in my head the picture associated with the name is james iha's face.

so brian eno, (nee Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno) is an english musician and composer who basically pioneered ambient music and has produced or collaborated on some of the best music of the past couple decades. also, if you had windows 95, he is responsible for the start up sound that you probably have nightmares about when your computer crashes. from what i can tell, this musical theorist and installation artist is basically a genius, so thanks mgmt for helping me figure it out.

mgmt news

did you see them on snl this past weekend? and in gq? and did you read the editorial andrew's dad wrote in the memphis flyer? also see below. im going to try to find a cd store to buy the new album today. wish me luck.

"having it all a bit too easy?"

now you can also read about how Andrew and Ben from MGMT are both a little nervous about their new album not being commercial enough.

ive already expressed that i think the new album is great.

new MGMT album details

As previously reported, Spacemen 3's Peter "Sonic Boom" Kember produced the album, while Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux/RTX guests. Dave Fridmann mixed it. According to Spin, the tracks were mostly inspired by surfing, except for the instrumental "Lady Dada's Nightmare", which is an homage to Lady Gaga, and the title track, which is about "the world economic crisis." Andrew VanWyngarden tells Spin that the 12-minute-long "Siberian Breaks" is "like eight different songs strung together into one, and the general theme is about surfing in the Arctic Circle by Russia." And he previously told New York magazine that "Brian Eno" is "kind of a vampire-punk-rock song about finding Brian Eno in like a cathedral in Transylvania."
