All I have to say is that I HATE this video for the fact that it brings up a few of my own childhood fears. If you have ever taken any psychology class you know these are the things that make kids afraid of bunnies. Although I hope to believe that these creepy costumed people are CGI-ed for the poor kids sake, I don't believe MGMT is notable enough to have a million dollar video. In most of the scenes I will give the band the benefit of the doubt, believing they would not truly expose this innocent kid to the torment of the masked creatures. However, this is not the case in the scene where the kid walks on the sidewalk aimlessly fleeing the scary figures. The neglectful baby dropping mom is none other than Joanna Newsome. I haven't looked this up but the artwork at the end I'm assuming is illustrated by Chad VanGaalen. He has drawn for many music videos including his own.

MGMT (pronounced "management") are two guys from Connecticut with really awesome names. Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser have been making music since their freshman year at Wesleyan University in Middletown in 2002. A lot of people compare them to The Flaming Lips -- which isn't much of a stretch considering that when Columbia asked the duo who they wanted to have produce their album, they tapped Dave Fridmann who produced both The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi for the Lips. If you caught Of Montreal's latest tour then you've been lucky enough to see these guys in concert; they were the opening band.
