Please could you take a look at Romain Axisa’s work at some point? He was a part of The Big Push with Ren and has some really beautiful songs of his own. He does instrumental guitar songs like ‘Django’ but he also has a delightful singing voice. ‘Happy Song’ and ‘75 Beats Per Minute’ are particularly enthralling songs. 🙏🏻 Thanks! 🥰
Not bad.....🤷🏼
Why do you still have hat hair? 😂
@@jeffmunkynutz1568 I don't, I just washed it before filming.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain I think it looks fantastic. 😂
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain You're freaking adorable and hilarious. Just found your channel

This absolutely broke my heart.. she’s a strong girl though. 💪♥️
Doesn't make it less painful pal. A blooming philosopher you are. Only thing precious here is your hollow mouth, glass jaw, vanity and ego 😉 it always begins with an order from a subjected weak man grasping for false authority, "Don't Be!"🙄 May you be the 1 of 3 with Stage 3 to 4 pancreatic bub 😊

Hi Justin,
Jim's son here. Was so lovely to hear you sing that. You did a fantastic job. Maybe a little episode on that song? (If you don't ask you don't get.) My dad has passed now (Nearly 10 years ago), but he always appreciated your vocal chops - and the songwriting!!
My band CITIZENS! used to rehearse underneath you at a rehearsal space in Putney, the owner of which was always saying how lovely and wonderful you all were.
I have two young children now so don't gig much or consume much pop culture at the moment (I'm looking forward to that ending sometime in....let's say 2027) but I really enjoyed this episode and will definitely watch some more.
This is a strange old TH-cam message isn't it? I don't normally write these kind of things but I really loved hearing you sing that and it was lovely how you sequed into it. I may be wrong but I'm not sure my dad was a direct influence on MGMT, but then again....who knows.
Keep fighting the good fight
Lawrence (Jim's son) Diamond
I wish there was an easy way to bring this to Justin's attention. It must have been so touching to hear that out of nowhere.
@@philbrook5655 Hey Phil, it really was. A couple of friends sent it to me and it was magical to hear it. He really nailed it and to watch him just pull it out of thin air was pretty magical. Thanks for commenting.
Your father's song was (still is) one of mum's favourites. She played it in the car almost constantly one summer, driving around the lanes of Dorset, when I was about 6 or 7. And yes, Justin singing a version of it would be very cool.
MGMT have always done their own thing, never being bothered if they are successful or not. Totally genuine with it as well. Congratulations is one of the most interesting and imaginative albums ever made imo.
Mgmt is legendary. Their first two albuns are pure gold. Generation defining stuff
True
Little Dark Age as well tbh. They've only made one duff album out of the four in my opinion.
@@bswalem self titled is fucking awesome in it's own way :P
👍
@@ThiefOfBaghdad Self titled is kinda.. different. Very hypnotizing tracks that you kinda "have" to melt into. Very understandable why people didn't jell with it.
You have heard Kids, Time To Pretend and Electric Feel
You gotta listen to their second album 'Congratulations', one of the best albums ever.
Just came on here to say the same thing. MGMT are modern music geniuses.
Congratulations and Little Dark Age are both great albums imo
That would be amazing. Congratulations is worth looking at just for Siberian Breaks. The rest of the album is still amazing, but Siberian Breaks is just out of this world IMO.
@@BubblegumDog_ Siberian Breaks is absolutely magical live too!
@@pendragon6207 I believe you! I have unfortunately only seen videos of their live performances since I only really discovered them 3 years ago. I hope to see them live one day though :)
I recall going to see MGMT in the early days. There was a girl at the show crying because she only knew the big hits and was overwhelmed at how weird the rest of their music was. It was like she was terrified of artists. It was like a horror show for her.
MY LITERAL DREAM!
Haha love this 😂 When music is just too big and awkward to handle but then you find a way to hold it and run with it, the best feeling. Although I think OS was not weird at all considering some of their other stuff🤔
I recall seeing them at bonnaroo in 2009. They were god awful, as they later self declared. they were plucked from obscurity onto some large stages very much prematurely. I remember walking up towards the second largest stage at the festival durring "the youth" as they were reaching the chorus. I had never heard it before and it quite literally sounded like someones little brother being smacked in the balls. Still went and bought the album a month or so later lol
That’s perfect
Subscribing to this channel has done wonders for my mental health. Hearing new music that I may not have otherwise heard, and finding out that there are still young artists putting out quality, organic music, written from the human heart and performed with genuine soul - and that there's an audience for it - THAT gives me hope.
Thank you Justin Hawkins! ☮💙
Same! Since discovering this channel I’ve turned my life around to the point where I barely recognise who I was 18 months ago. (Seriously, if you’d told me back then where I’d be now, I’d have maniacally laughed then cried in a corner for a week! 🥴) JHRA is a tonic & an inspiration. Jus & Jenny do more for us with these videos than they realise. Hope you are as uplifted by this channel as I have been & more! 🥰 Much love, light & music, fellow JHRA fan! 🙏🏻🥰 ☮️
.Kindred spirits! He's funny and has a great ear. Congratulations was my entry into the band. Also! I just put out my first ep, A Keithing Separate Checks, on all the sites. You have great taste in music. Check it out!
Come
On now 😂
MGMT are pretty ancient now. But I don't know what generation you come from. lol
The thing about MGMT is that no two songs are similar, really. They play in a LOT of different genres of music, often on the same album. Some of it lands, some of it doesn't, but it's absolutely a band worth exploring sometime, as there aren't a lot of bands who have no fear to explore that way, as many pick a "sound" and stick with it in order to cement an "identity" in the market - and they don't. This has probably cost them the kind of "mega-success" they *could* have had if they had just stuck with making "Time to Pretend" or "Kids" over and over again - but instead, they just follow their own muse, which I have tons of respect for - and when their stuff *does* land, it's brilliant. But even the tracks that don't are always interesting.
I also have great respect for them for this very reason
kids, time to pretend and electric feel were never serious songs, they were parodies of modern pop music
They are like Radiohead. It takes a bit of time for the brain to comprehend the music ... but if it does, it's absolutely mesmerizing.
That's impressive because usually record companies treat anyone whose material isn't firmly 'in genre' as radioactive.
Ariel pink produced album was one of their best
This definitely reminded me of Elliott Smith from the get go, as we say here. Love the channel and the kind, honest reviews of songs. You don't have to be cruel to be truthful, or kind for that matter, kids, and cool Jesus in particular.
Justin's expression @5:55 and the poster for Amelie ❤❤❤(as yet to be created exploding heart emoji)
Same! Came here for this comment!
Yes, very elliot.
100%
I was thinking that exactly, very Figure 8
Was JUST gonna comment it reminded me of Elliott Smith!
They are masters - their best work exists beyond the “hits”
Their album Congratulations is a favourite although underrated by their pop fans. because it didn't follow on from their hit singles.
Its much more like this, psychedelic and wistful
Such an underrated album... Opening track "It's Working" is honestly in my Top 50 all time
@@EricSelle777 yeah its great. And little numbers like Dan Treacy or Brain Eno are impossible not to move to!
@@Tonedefdom yeah those are fantastically weird bops
Bra all the closeups with the straight face are hilarious . Your melody memory is astounding . Have never seen that in anyone. You are a master. I am impressed.
it's fun to hear your fantastic musician's brain hearing the melodic influences on this song. a true songwriter
It is Management.
this.. they were management and got their name stolen but it was early in their carreer
I’m so happy you covered MGMT. I love them so much! Also I can’t wait to see you in March 😊💗
What does the band name mean?
@@UpsonPrattJr. Management :)
@@MaisyLearmouth So that is what it means. Got it, thanks.
MGMT is an incredible duo. They've made pretty much every song conceivable. Hit an miss but when they get it right, it's magic.
MGMT were called The Management before they got big, and they're label initiated the change, I believe. I saw them in Wolverhampton Civil Hall years ago as they were my favourite band. It's nice to see your video about them. There was a couple of later albums that I thought was a bit ropey, but thankfully I've rediscovered a mad interest again. Loving the channel Justin. Keep it up man
My favourite band of the last 20 years! They did a live album called 11.11.11 which is all material that has never appeared on their studio albums! Awesome stuff
After their first album MGMT could have easily made a career out of making radio friendly indie-pop hits but they chose to make what they wanted. Would be great to hear your reaction to another of theirs like 'When You Die' - great song and video.
When You Die is an absolute highlight.
They have three landmark albums and two misses.
Thanks Justin. Fantastic video. It was such a privilege being able to watch you work out how the music, the lyrics and the video made you feel. Very emotional. Cheers for this
Thank you so much!
I binge this channel so much that I now catch my family members watching it on their phones :D love the video, as usual!
MGMT’s visual continuity and the care they obviously exert in their video output is refreshing🙂
Great song, Justin! Thanks for sharing it and the band with us. I hadn't heard of them before. Very interesting video. People are really amazing, sometimes.
I think I just found my new favorite series on TH-cam! Thanks, Justin Hawkins! I just spent 30minutes watching these!
Their second album Congratulations is a must - key track there “Siberian Breaks”
I so appreciate your intelligent and thoughtful reactions. Yours is the best analysis channel on TH-cam, by far.
You crack me up so much, always brighten my day ❤️
Yes! Listen to ALL of their music!
Touching and in analyzing, compassionate. 📿
I found this video a few weeks ago, and enjoyed your appreciation of the composition. The video, obviously, is so endearing... "human," as you said.
At first I was a little skeptical of the video cause I’ve never seen any of your videos. But I loved the way you talked about them, and particularly the sounds you were hearing. This song also reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel the first time I heard it. And it was cool to hear you say that. I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how poetic and creatively written these songs are. And it was amazing to see you pick up on the tiny details like the oyster. And going through customs. Well done.
Definitely hear some Animal Collective in that descending melody. Super haunting track. Thanks for sharing it.
I think their self titled album is one of my favorite albums ever! It’s really awesome to see them grow as artists and explore another assortment of genres! Their newest music reminds me a lot of their early work like with “everything is happening so fast” and it’s wonderful.
3:03 Led Zeppelin vibes 3:18 Beatles - Yesterday vibes + 3:25 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue vibes 4:00 Queen vibes... Sorry for dragging you into my vibenerd universe 😅
Yeah welcome back MGMT! Legends, especially that first album. And may I say it's wonderful your still about Justin, this show is a tonic Sir!
Loved this! "Harmonically Rich" was a great way to describe this song. In general I enjoy MGMT. Thanks for another great analysis.
Simon & Garfunkel vibes for sure - also reminded me of the late 60s band The Millennium. Nice Track !
Definitely. "It Won't Always Be the Same" should have been a hit.
I felt White Album vibes
It's the silences and looks into camera which I love...and of course the technical expertise and analysis... And the song sounds like The Boxer, Simon & Garfunkel.
I was blown away when I heard it and now I'm really excited for their new album. Very complex yet catch songwriting and I LOVE the video
My absolute favorite band! Please check out the other two singles, Mother Nature and Bubblegum Dog! Think you’ll absolutely love them Justin! Can’t wait for the new album! The boys are 4/4!
It has some 'Hotel California' style picking too. As a father of a child with limb difference, its heartening for you to avoid the obvious comment that most people would make about the video. Another great synopsis. Love the vids!
And The Darkness 😉
Thanks again, mate… you are emotional and comedically endearing. Luv yer stuff man! 🍻
Simply put it is quite beautiful. ❤
Loving the cinematic look of this video.
MGMT's catalog = one for you and one for us. Glad it's a "one for you" year.
I have seen them live! They are great. 💫✨🌟
For me MGMT are the best band in the world. All their albums are lovely. I would love to see them live. I hope they come to Australia again.
The Billy Idol song with that drumbeat is Sweet Sixteen.
500k subscriber HD special. Quality is crispy. Edit: The girl in the vid has it rough. Not the arms but recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Info in the MGMT video description.
That's what happens when my producer is films it instead of me.
One of my favorites of all time
Thank you for instantly realising who it was this reminded me of! BTW they were initially called The Management but changed to MGMT.
MGMT is worth a deep dive. They are probably the most interesting band going currently. They have chosen a strange but wonderful path that sees them reinvent themselves over and over again with varying degrees of success. I think it's commendable. Their first album is damn near perfect (Oracular Spectacular) and it brought them instant success. Their second album (Congratulations) is a masterpiece in my eyes and it's nothing like the first album. I'm sure their label was unhappy about that. Loss of Life is revealing yet another side of MGMT. I love it.
Justin's beat box was mindblowing . I listened to it again and again. Still in shock how good it was.
Yes Simon and Garf. and perhaps a little “dust in the wind “
Paul Simon is a master in travis picking. Dust in the wind is also composed around a travis pick.
I learned Dust in the Wind, like 20 years ago, and I still Travis Pick, to this day. Clawhammer style, no index finger (because I cup the pick with that finger).@@bartvschuylenburg
Love hearing your take, your thoughts on it. Andrew and Ben have done some great stuff through the years. This track doesn't disappoint.
Have a good weekend Justin
Love all off MGMT's back catalogue (although 3rd album was a bit pants) but this album is shaping up to be something great with the tracks I've heard so far! Awesome video as per usual 😍
The group making music today. Absolutely genius! I highly recommend diving into an album from start to finish.
they are legends...love how they always did it their way
Saw them in Seattle and it was amazing. Then I saw the Darkness and MGMT took second place in my all time favorite bands to see live.
Kids and Time to Pretend put MGMT on the map with their debut, but they have been consistently entertaining and interesting ever since. Justin, you might really dig a couple of their lesser known singles that no one has mentioned yet: Flash Delerium and Little Dark Age.
I like how you say you "don't remember" their 2 hits, yet you remember their signature sound of "synths w/ the dancy beat"
😄
Very sophisticated sound......heard them a few times over the decades.......but my fave band for a long time was Sonic Youth.......very different. 3:46
love your reactions justin
Thank you for reviewing MGMT.
Never heard any of MGMT’s music before. Wasn’t expecting it to be so melodic & “pretty”. Very peaceful tune, reminds me of Dionne Warrick’s ‘Walk On By’ and The Mammas & The Papas for some reason 🤷🏻♀️ Guess it’s got a very ‘60’s feel to it. I like it. 🥰 Definitely one to lie down & chill out to. 😌
Listen to congratulations by mgmt
@@bitbat9 ok then, BRB! 🥰
@@bitbat9Brilliant song! Had me hooked from the first bar. Thank you for the recommendation. 🥰 However, the video is not vegan-friendly, has no business being so sad and should not have made me laugh out loud at the end! 😅😂😂😂 Utterly bizarre! As much as I enjoyed it, I’m going to have nightmares about human-sized featherless chicks shedding body parts in the desert now… 😔
@@NinStardust Next Siberian Breaks is their master piece from the some album.
@@NinStardustlisten to all the albums!
I love this band and have been a giant fan when i got into them about 11 years ago. I love that i may not catch n album but have come back to enjoy new works knowing its going to be some kind of experience to add into my symphony of life.
This new album is going to be the best of the year. I'm already obsessed with the singles. I ate too many mushrooms recently and sat in my car and listened to bubblegum dog and mother nature over and over again for 2 hours straight. Great for post COVID brain healing.
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat. Mgmt are so genius
Nothing to declare - Fine de claire, nice for finding this one
I love the song and the video is very touching. I first heard it the other day when it came out and now upon 2nd listen I am realizing that it reminds me of elliott smith, sounds like something that could have been on his Posthumus album from a basement on a hill, both musically and lyrically. i'm glad Mr. Hawkins was aware of the fact that Fine de Claire was an oyster because i was not. What a clever way to say "the world is my oyster"
Have to review more MGMT!
It's a very powerful video.
Nice review/breakdown
Wow I did not expect my favorite Rock singer quite likes my favorite Indi band! Also, MGMT is an acronym for "Management" they chose while playing house shows when attending University.
I love them.
that's a treasure of a song
Straight away the similar sound of Simon and Garfunkle, i love songs that have a mix of nostalgia and new. Very chilled-out song, something i would listen too if i was in a chill mood with a nice glass of wine. Usually, i am a more energetic metal person however, i will sit down later today and listen to this band. Thanks so much for this
Sounds great, getting some Hollow Coves vibes 👍🏼
Definitely hear the simon and garfunkel as well as some Elliot Smith in there. It’s a departure from their hit songs which I do recommend a listen to.
Jim diamond! What a great song
They are genius. you are so selfless bringing them to your viewers some who may not have heard this.
I listened to their first two albums so much when I was 16.
Great to hear MGMT on this channel.
I would recommend to go back and listen to Oracular Spectacular, their debut album.
Time to Pretend is a great song and basically about the myth of becoming a rock star.
Imagine being a supernova made of diamonds - now, THAT'S a rock star!
So you know the Jim Diamond track, eh! Not heard them before, but will be checking out more from them. Thanks for the introduction to their stuff.
I love watching Justin's videos. They make the stress of the day melt away. MGMT is a great band. Very eclectic. Everyone
needs to listen to MGMT's Brian Eno if they haven't already. I've been listening to Nothing to Declare daily since its release.
Such a beautiful song. Can't wait for Loss of Life. I didn't think it was possible for Connecticut to produce such a super cool
band.
I have a suggestion no one probably wants, but if anyone likes MGMT's more psychedelic stuff, like Flash Delirium,
listen to it with Daily Nightly by The Monkees. Good stuff.
I’m with you, that’s going to need a handful of listens!
True! It sounds Simon and Garfunkel...
I would’ve never thought this is a MGMT song, sounds so different to the other stuff I know (which is not that much). Thanks for your thoughts about it. Fun to see / hear. I’m sick in bed but now feel better, thanks!
Oracular Spectacular is an astounding album 👌
They remind me of Simon &Garfunkel...they are really good......have a nice week end Justin
Its "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel you are thinking of, it was my first thought when the song started
I said that right before I read your text.
Ah yes, the soothing sound of dome studs scraping across a formica desk.
I remember it well 😌
You should listen to their congratulations album. It’s very interesting, specifically give ‘it’s working’ and ‘flash delirium’ a listen. But ideally give the whole album a listen through. Thanks for the vid
Every one of their albums is majorly different from the last.
And Siberian Breaks !!!!!❤❤
I never expected this song with this band's name!
How lucky to discover MGMT for the first time!
Man MGMT is like the first band I have memory of listening to. Time to Pretend and Kids when I was like 10 or 11 maybe, what a throwback not listened to them in years, you should definitely listen to those 2, and electric feel which you mentioned. Dont mind this one either, very different to their older stuff though
One of my all time favorite bands no one talks about.
When I was in elementary i did an awful cover (in 2003) of "I believe in a thing called love" and to now be here, watching you as one of my favorite youtubers is something else haha. My dad laughed at me and tried to cover up his embarrassment btw, when I sang to them before I tried out. Trauma, but its worth the content.
