One thing I love about nardwuar is how we get to see how artists react to him and carry themselves. They either get rude, awkward, or show that they are genuinely cool and appreciate nardwuar for taking interest and for his knowledge
Being interviewed with Nardwuar is like taking a Psychedelic journey. His goofiness breaks the "artist image" sold to people and shows how the artists respond to a culturally destructive force like Nardwuar. MGMT clearly is very cool with both Psychedelics and Nardwuar.
MGMT's debut song KIDS was brilliant especially considering the time in which the song was released and its high placement on the charts. Still think that track is brilliant to this day.
6:30 these guys are geekier than nardwuar himself, it's cool to see artists that actually roll with these interviews even though they can get real corny
the highest rated comments on any mgmt youtube video is something along the lines of "andrew is an attractive young man." no mention of the music, man i laugh so hard at that shit.
Ben always looks cute IMO. Ben is bae :P Also their lead guitar has the most winning smile ever. Wonder if he still plays with them these days. Really talented bunch, I respect the hell out of them.
When I met him the vibe/aura he gave off was very home-y and zen. Like hanging out with your best friend(s) who you've grown with and would trust your life with (and I don't mean that in a weird way, I'm being totally sincere). Any star-struck feelings I had totally evaporated and it was super chill. He's a cool dude. James is fun as well, very enjoyable to talk to. Haven't met any of the others yet.
Hey Nardwuar! I am a huge fan! You are awesome. I am so thankful for you. You should interview rapper Sugar Free. I just think this would be a very interesting interview. Much love to you bro! Peace!
I think MGMT are a bit " frightened" to answer this interviewer at first. But they get the hang of it quite soon. Nardwuar keeps them amused !! He needs to watch what he's doing with that mike, nearly knocking a few teeth out.. lol. Good interview.
I like how IMMEDIATELY without even having been asked about the child abuse allegations for the video, "Kids" he blurts out that the real reason he was crying was being 'cranky'.... just think it's hilarious how disconnected he was there. and you can tell every single time Andrew responds to questions or is reminded of things he has said in the past Ben just glares at him like "do NOT fuck this up andrew....do NOT say something more ridiculously stupid"
Lol and when he mentioned the black labrador was there and that the dog was nice at the deek party..... weird... and he said about the mutual hand jobs...😂😂 and the guys looked at andrew like SHUTUP
MGMT has their own personal stylist. I guess that's consider cool now. The manager is their main real influence who pushes them in everything. Just some all american frat dudes who bought a Mojo magazine. Check out a photo of them from 2005, typical frat dudes with flip flops and a flying V guitar...very Weezer styled. If this is now what's consider psychedelic, then it's the most sobering psychedelic stuff. I can't believe Sonic Boom took the money and hung out with this band. Oh well.
only the guys from mgmt could manage to somehow be more awkward than narduar

Some day, he's gonna knock somebody out with that microphone, Dude throws it around fast.
He’s a pro. Been doin it since the 90’s
It’s not possible for the Nard
Throwing that Rona and flu on people's faces he's going to hàve to refine his technique.
He hit one of the chicks during the Lydia lynch interview
@@diji5071 impossible
That one guy that didn't get to speak: MOOD
yee, and the other guy wasnt even in the shot

Lunatic4Bizcas That whole album is brilliant.
Kids was the third single. "Time to pretend" was what broke them. Then "electric feel". THEN "kids"
Boo Radley congratulations is better though.
Soviet Potato I don't think I've heard that. I should though.
+michael Siberian Breaks is the best song they ever wrote, by far
Nothing wrong with being awkward - just the rude thing is bad .. It's kinda cool to see rock stars like MGMT be awkward
6:30 these guys are geekier than nardwuar himself, it's cool to see artists that actually roll with these interviews even though they can get real corny
let's put it at least equally as geeky
They all seem intimidated by Nard. haha
They handled this interview perfectly. Loved it. Much love for andrew and the gang.
being interviewed by Nardwuar is like getting a tattoo
Elaborate?
@@cameronipepperoni7987 no
Andrew casually shape shifting at 0:43
TomsConscience I can’t stop watching that now
Holy shit wtf
HOLY FUCKING FUCKKKKKKK!!!
That was insane.
Vanessa Gallardo NEITHER CAN I!!!!
Confused??
Would be great to have a new MGMT interview
they've done so much in the meantime
Nardwuar Vs. Beach House
And Nardwuar Vs. MGMT #2 post-self-titled-and-little-dark-age. And Nardwuar Vs. Eminem to break that stone-cold image of his.
"AND ALAN JENKINS OF THE DEEP FRIED..."
"Meese."
"Chicken Fried..."
"Mouse."
"Kentucky Fried..."
"Cheese."
"School Bus."
*stumped* "...Donkey..." *look down*
*sigh*
Perfectly adorable.
Andrew is absolutely gorgeous.
He still looks like he's in his 20s, and he's in his mid-30s. I met him in person and he seemed like he'd fit into my friend group, lol.
No. Ben.
@@cinnamonbulla bof
Nardwaur is opening my sheltered mind to a lot of music history, bands old and new. Shiiit. How does this guy keep up??
metalskim Look up his Ted Talks episode it shows a lot of his process before he interviews.
@@NarwhalTrainer7 It's very inspiring too. :)

Such a man crush on Andrew

Yeah I know Im not gay but he is so handsome man wft

i keep replaying 2:26 because andrews smile and the way nardwuar says BITCHES
5:38 im shsgsjd
this guy is just awesome ::) i hope that he interviews them again some day
MGMT seem like really nice guys
They're not that nice. They're mean and they're evil.

Hey Nardwuar, can you interview Nardwuar?
Nardwuar swiftly dismanteling MGMT.
Great job, as usual!
I literally do not get ANYTHING they're saying
Same 🤣
Nardwaur mores know about MGMT than MGMT know about MGMT. These guys are unsure what they ate for breakfast and where they currently are. Lol
Deep fried meese, chicken fried mouse, kentucky fried cheese, schoolbus donkey.
This was incredibly uncomfortable to watch
I love this interview - hilarious and still knowledgeable. Ben looks so cute here too
Ben always looks cute IMO. Ben is bae :P
Also their lead guitar has the most winning smile ever. Wonder if he still plays with them these days.
Really talented bunch, I respect the hell out of them.
Angel Voices everyone in this interview is still playing with them :)
Ben big cute
I'm having real curiosity now how mgmt will do it now, nardwuar is a legend
"There's a really nice Black Labrador there.." -Andrew
That's how I remember places too, man.
I first saw a Nardwuar interview a few years ago, and I loved him. And now he's interviewing an awesome band, MGMT!!!!! YESSSSSS
I love mgmt, but this is the first interview I've seen where they got owned. Bc they are usually the funniest part of it, but Nardwuar is on his shit
almost 10 years ago... damn
Doots crossed that he does it again.
"schoolbus" - nardwuar
"uhh donkey" - andrew hahahahaha
I heard mgmt and Mac Demarco are gonna collab on macs new album or something like that
Chris Arroyo yea
I also saw that pic, I really really hope to hear some Mac / MGMT songs
adam smith who knows if he really did collab with them I just wanna hear Mac's new album already he just finished it in December
How do you like the new album Chris? I think it is amazing as always.
I love Mac but didn't think this album was great, a couple of good songs
Ughhh Andrew is so cuteeee
looks like a lesbian. not necessarily bad

No. Ben.
Omg. The interviewer guy is insane. His quick talking and fast paced way of doing everything totally clashes with how chill mgmt are xD
this comment old 😎😎
Not his best interview as far as crazy facts, but one of the best bands.
This interview right here is BY FAR the best MGMT interview (which is saying something seeing as all MGMT interviews tend to be extremely interesting)
2:27
You're welcome
Thank you sir
andrew is so cute
No. Ben.
@@cinnamonbulla both😁
The best nardwuar interview ever.
I've watched that freaking "doot doot" part more times than I can count.
Ben is too adorable! XD
(': oh my god Nardwuar! Finally! I've been waiting for this for like 2 years.
Greatness
Wow they know a lot about music
I think Pablo Escobar funded these guys
dude youre killing me WE NEED THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!
and now theyre millionaires lol!
During the animated intro, I always start by focusing on his right eyeball on a centered swivel, then shift to that tiny moving dot under the mic...
Matts face at the end of that interview was PRICELESS !!!
a Nardwuar vs. the Beatles would have been epic.
11 years late but he could do it with half still
I'm so heartbroken that andrew came to lil ol North Carolina and I never knew 🥺
Deep Freeze Mice - great band.
Ben was out to lunch in this interview
Knew that album cover soon as I clicked, the Electric Prunes are badass.
Andrew is pleased with nard 😂
definetly one of the top 10 nardwuar freezers of all time couldn t even see him twich a muscel. must have been in top form
Weezer's cover is AMAZING, but not nearly as great as the Oracular Spectacular version.
Hey Nardwuar! I am a huge fan! You are awesome. I am so thankful for you. You should interview rapper Sugar Free. I just think this would be a very interesting interview. Much love to you bro! Peace!
Nardwuar vs Elvis Presley
Nardwuar “Thank you, thank you”
Elvis “…….uhh…. very much”🎤 😳
I think MGMT are a bit " frightened" to answer this interviewer at first. But they get the hang of it quite soon. Nardwuar keeps them amused !! He needs to watch what he's doing with that mike, nearly knocking a few teeth out.. lol. Good interview.
Hell yes, I've been waiting for an MGMT video from you, Nardwuar. :)
Nardwuar must spend a fucking fortune on gifts. What a guy.
BEST. INTERVIEW. EVER.
God Andrew is so handsome
The only band that's nerdier and awkward than Nardwuar.
I think this may be my favorite MGMT interview because they are so goofy :)
Damn. I love Nardwuar. :) Hes one of a kind.
this is so awkward and I love it
Nardwuar vs. Devendra Banhart. Make it happen!
Nardwuar, you make people happy.
i’ve been the biggest fan of both nardwuar and mgmt and i’ve never heard of this!!!
"I don't think I half the nerf to ask MGMT if they want to collaborate"
I like how IMMEDIATELY without even having been asked about the child abuse allegations for the video, "Kids" he blurts out that the real reason he was crying was being 'cranky'....
just think it's hilarious how disconnected he was there.

Danny Hengel watch the behind the scenes of the music video everything is explained in it
@@danaelona4081 I saw it more like they were watching him with amusement and wondering what he was gonna say next.
This guy might be a tad annoying but he does his research
He interviewed Lydon, but it's audio only. It's on Nardwuar's site.
"now they're millionaires" hah
6:08 Holy shit his reaction time there lol.
watching this is almost a ritual
The nard has done it again!
HOLY JESUS AN OUTRO SONG!!!!
2:42 Ben looks so annoyed with Andrew.
Nardwuar called out these kids big time on ripping off deep freeze mice, big time. Look at them sweat.
i cant control my love for andrew:)
The Deep Freeze Mice are amazing.
Nardwuar vs Daft Punk
Nardwuar vs. Jimi Hendrix
You know, seeing how he's interviewed Kurt Cobain and is probably an immortal force of the Ethers, I wouldn't be surprised if this already exists.
Hahaha! Andrew is adorable... I can not believe he is 29... he looks 21 tops
Wow time flies
Not as far as I know.
Yo, who is that guy with the yellow shirt that comes in towards the end? Said his name was Mark. I swear I know him from somewhere.
His name is Mark Kates. He worked with Nirvana, among others.
Whats a deak party?
All of them were looking at Nardwuar like, "This guy is fucking crazy."
Only a shadow by The Cleaners Of Venus is my favorite cover of theirs pretty psychedelic 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
he's the original hipster
6:33-6:40 is the best part!
haha the bassist. you can tell he's truely scared and not just making a "wtf" face...
MGMT has their own personal stylist. I guess that's consider cool now.
The manager is their main real influence who pushes them in everything. Just some all american frat dudes who bought a Mojo magazine. Check out a photo of them from 2005, typical frat dudes with flip flops and a flying V guitar...very Weezer styled.
If this is now what's consider psychedelic, then it's the most sobering psychedelic stuff.
I can't believe Sonic Boom took the money and hung out with this band. Oh well.
lol YES. best interview ever.
