Morning Music Notes – Cool Blog No 2

Apparently if you don’t pay attention to the Internet, music still gets released. Let me play catch up today. There’s a hip, young band from Liverpool called The Beatles making some waves Yesterday, MGMT dropped a video for another new and weird track off of their self-titled 3rd album. The track is called Cool Song No 2, which I guess means they think they’ve released another song that’s cool. Boys, you’ve released many cool songs.

If you recognize someone in the video, that’s because it stars ME! Michael K Williams, of Omar Little fame from the Wire (and also in Boardwalk Empire). Yes, the video is super weird, as is the song, as are MGMT. Check out the weirdness below.
