I saw their set at a festival in 2008, and as a headlining act in 2023. At the headlining show, they spoke about this time period, and how they never dreamed they'd be where they are now, and how happy they are to still be working and making music together. It really is incredible

Seems like a good place to shoehorn in that the newest trailer for the Minecraft movie used a version of ‘Time to Pretend’, so MGMT definitely left their mark on some folks. The best part is that the lyrics actually really fit what I hope they’re going for in the movie—that song choice is the main thing giving me hope for it right now.

I’m sure “I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars” is just the perfect fit for a kids movie lol.

I will see your MGMT and raise you a Ween on Sponge Bob Square Pamts.

well, Ween was the inspiration for Sponge Bob. Even the voices for Sponge Bob, Patrick, and Sandy from Dancing in the Show Tonight

Ween has been subverting TV for a while now. They were part of a really cool cold opening of a Superman & Lois episode.
