Whatevs, yo, he has the hoddest indie mum in the world

It's always nice to see mainstream success for a band that makes (somewhat) different and high-quality music, but I don't really care for MGMT. THAT SAID, the new video for their once-tolerable-now-cringe-inducing-due-to-overexposure Kids is a must-see:

As the dudes on Stereogum put it, "You can catch the band on drugs on tour."

Yes, that is Joanna Newsom playing the "mom." And is it just me, or is there a bit of a reverse-Where the Wild Things Are vibe going on here? And (finally) the animation style looks a lot like the crazy shit those guys from Wonder Showzen used to churn out. Speaking of which, if you were a fan of that show, it might be worth checking out Xavier: Renegade Angel. (Hint: I'm not going to embed it here, but uh... you can Google it?)
