Right, I find myself waiting here at the computer with 20 minutes to go til I can buy MGMT tickets online, so I thought Id share with you the songs that have really been rotating with me lately. First up is an absolutely gorgeous, euphoric dream pop track from an equally as fantastic album. They just have very unfortunate titles. The track, ‘Souvlaki Space Station’ comes from the classic 1993 album ‘Souvlaki’ by British band Slowdive. Dont be put off by thoughts of greasy garlic sauce, because it couldnt sound any further from that. Label mates with My Bloody Valentine, these guys impressed the fuck out of me the first time I heard them.

Second is a great 1982 New Romantic track by another British band, Visage. I hear so much of Cut Copy in this its not funny. The same little bleepy synth sequences, and Steve Strange sounds so similar to Dan.
