They're possibly the greatest undiscovered techno band of this era. Respect. Once you hear this you won't go back to the bubblegum N*Sync stuff. It's cool but Freezepop is better. Lance is really cool.

Who am I?
I am Robert Slocumbe. A ninth grader. I love tennis, music, and gaming. I've played tennis since I was in second grade I think. I like to play all throughout the week and I hope to get on the high school tennis team. Music: I love listening to it all day. My favorite bands are Red Hot Chili Peppers, MGMT, The Veronicas, and The Donnas. Music really helps me do homework. People think it's weird but I like to do it with background noise. I hate doing it in complete silence, it drives me crazy! lol! I've also just picked up drumming. I got an electric kit for my birthday and it's awesome. I've learned a lot of songs by The Veronicas. It's really fun so far. Gaming: Video games are a great way to relax for me. After homework I can just go upstairs and play video games and get away from everything. I've been playing a lot of Halo 3 and Barbie Horse Adventures. I found it in the basement and have been hooked ever since.
One weird thing about me my pet peeve is when people won't admit they're wrong. I can be fine for a moment and then completely snap at that. It happens a lot too, even when I know for a fact that I'm right. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. They're really fun, except when Callie, one of my cats, gets mad. She'll scratch the heck out of you! I have scars to prove it. My other cat is Bell, she's the sweet kitty. My two dogs are Holly and Tanner. They're crazy!

MGMT -- Of Moons, Birds and Monsters
Of Moons, Birds and MonstersWhy'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change
In the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
If the ship will never come you've got to move along
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He's a rat!
To catch a monster
We make a movie
Set the tempo
And cut and cut its brains out
It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
Communication
It's easy as the ocean
This song is so great because it's weird and amazing. There is only one verse and the chorus is only played once. I don't hear many songs that are played like this. And also, about halfway into the song it just breaks into a whole different thing that sounds like a slow jam. The lyrics don't really make sense to me. It sounds like they're either deep lyrics that you have to really thing about to understand, or just lyrics that he wrote fast to have lyrics in the song. All around this song is incredible.
