One of my favourite podcasts is Hrishikesh Hirway’s Song Exploder. The dude dives into songs with the creators to uncover some truth buried in the tracks and offer insight.
This week, he went back to one of my favourites, MGMT‘s “Time to Pretend” from 2007′s Oracular Spectacular.

So many great insights behind a stand out track on MGMT’s breakout record.
I like the part where they talk about finally getting to play Letterman and decided to wear druid capes.
“Oh yeah but you’re on National TV looking like an idiot in a druid cape.”
You’re neat. Thanks for reading and listening.
Go with yourself.
