We broke down MGMT's latest release Congratulations with our review last week. Since that time they have gone on to become the #2 artist on BIllboard, second behind the one and only Justin Bieber! MGMT has picked up right where they left off, somehow becoming the biggest band on the planet. Speaking to one of the biggest magazines on the planet, Rolling Stone, Andrew from MGMT discussed when he first got into vinyl. He explains that his love for vinyl first occurred in college stating, "Sophomore year, I was really getting into vinyl and took this record player my great aunt had given me and had that in my room and had a ton of records, a lot of my mom and dad's records, and things I'd find at thrift stores and stuff. I was listening to T. Rex a lot, Murray Street by Sonic Youth, and more recent stuff from back then, like Blonde Redhead, and Black Sabbath. I was really into Black Sabbath."
We're not too sure Black Sabbath constitutes as 'recent stuff' back in the early 2000's, but we'll just assume it was another misquote from Rolling Stone. You can check out the full interview here, and you can pick up MGMT's latest release on vinyl in the Daily Vinyl store.
