**All of my new posts are now on my tumblr account: http://marissamarie007.tumblr.com/ **

This blog is composed of the randomness that makes up my brain. It's made up of my thoughts, interests, views, and experiences. I post a LOT about music. It wasn't necessarily my intention when I started posting in this blog to have so many posts pertaining to music, it just kind of turned out that way because music happens to be something I'm passionate about and something I can always turn to when life sucks. I'm going to try to write more about some of my other passions too (human rights, social justice and politics). I like to know if people are actually reading this so feel free to leave comments... even if I don't know you, I'd like to hear from you. I always like to make new friends anyway :)

You shocked me like an electric eel...


I know I'm a little behind the curve on this but I absolutely love MGMT. For awhile I kept reading about this band MGMT everywhere. I kept mentally telling myself to check them out but I never really got around to it. Then as a comment on a video I was watching on youtube somebody mentioned that the video reminded them of MGMT. I figured as long as I was already on youtube I might as well just search them. The first song I listened to of theirs was "Time to Pretend", I realized I kind of already knew who they were because that song was on the 21 soundtrack and I already really liked the song I just didn't know who the artist was. Then I listened to "Electric Feel" and I was completely hooked. Some of their other songs that I really like are "Kids", "The Youth", "Pieces of What", "The Handshake", and "Indie Rokkers".
This is the link to their video for "Electric Feel" because none of the videos let you embed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZfzXKia6KQ

Here is a video of them performing "Time to Pretend" on the TV show Live On Abbey Road:





That show is pretty awesome, if you look at that persons channel they have a lot of different performances from that show. I've only seen it on youtube because we don't get it in the U.S.
