MGMT collabs with random white rapper, releases rap version of "Electric Feel"

MGMT's album Congratulations was one of the biggest letdowns of 2k10. However, it seems like MGMT decided to 'get back to their pop roots' by having some white rapper do a 'sweet remix' of their hit song "Electric Feel", widely considered to be their 2nd best song right after "KIDS." It seems like this white rapper just 'flowed hard', trying to take the song to the next level... Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. Hopefully 'the critics' go easy on MGMT after this new mp3.

Was this MP3 an 'official collab' or did that 'wigger' just 'hijack' the beat?
Do u think this rap version of "electric eels" crushes it?
Do u think they are 'going after the black audiences' after Kanye West got a 10.0?
Do u think MGMT can 'come back'?

Do u hope Andrew VanBroGardyn 'cheers up'? [link]
Who was a bigger letdown in 2k10: MGMT or MIA?
Will MGMT have a long, fruitful career?
Can MGMT reach 'AnCo/Vampy Weeks' status?
Does MGMT have more 'raw talent' than the Arcade Fire?
Do yall <3 when mediocre rappers 'sample' some indie loop and think they are all 'fresh' and 'fly'?

In case yall didn't know, 'bangs' are a relevant alternative hair fashion trend for alternative females. Bangs come in multiple forms, enabling women to look all keut and potentially alt. However, some girls can't grow bangs, or they don't want to take the huge risk of cutting them and looking 'dumb.' This is why Urban Outfitters created 'clip on bangs.'

It seems like these 'clip on bangs' are 4 girls who want bangs, but don't want to risk cutting their hair. Maybe I will get a pair. From what I heard, tons of African American women already wear 'clip on hair' and miscellaneous 'weaves', so maybe this is just another example of how alternative culture 'steals' from pre-existing culture.

R u gonna get clip on hair at Urban Outfitters? Sorta wish I coulda donated my hair 2 be re-sold at Urban Outfitters instead of 'growing it down to my butt', then donating it to 'Locks of Love.'

Overview:
* 100% human hair
* Hand wash
* Imported
* 8"l
* Web exclusive

Description:
Simple clip-on bangs made with 100% natural human hair, so you can curl, cut, color and style just like your own hair. Now you can have super chic blunt bangs without the commitment of cutting your own hair. This fabulous fringe looks real, feels real and stays put! The hair should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the hair appears dull or acquires an odor. If you are wearing the hair all day, every day, you can wash them after 3-4 wearings.

Do u wear clip on hair?
Is clip on hair 'mad sexy' or 'mad tacky'?
Are hair extensions for 'tacky white ppl'/people who think that they are 'famous'?

Are clip on bangs going 2 be the next relevant alt trend?
R u going to buy these bangs and 'remix them [via chopped and screwed]'?
Should I just start wearing a series of wigs that have different alt hair styles?
Is Urban Outfitters just 'selling this shit' to 'go viral' on 'alt blogs'?
Should I start a hair farm?
Does n e 1 know where I can find a Donation Station for Urban Outfitters hair reselling?
Is clip on hair 'mad tacky'?
Do u miss the search for the perfect alternative bangs? [link]

Beach House 'crushes it' on Conan, Vicki looks 'better than evr'

Beach House went on Conan because Conan is trying to replace Jimmy Fallon as 'the late night talk show with the most authentic indie bands on it.' It seemed like a 'great performance' where Victoria LeGrand was operating with a supreme level of confidence. Beach House knew that this was 'a great moment' for them.

It was 'really kewl' that Conan O'Brien said that 'many ppl/blogs/websites/magazines' listed Beach House as 'the best album of the year' on numerous 'year end lists.' Wonder if that means he reads Gorilla Vs. Bear.

The Other Bro in Beach House (Alex Scally) was there (of course) and was wearing some sort of ugly Christmas Sweater...

Sorta feel like he shoulda 'stood up' 4 this performance and wore some shoes 2 show some 'goddamned respect', but insiders say that he 'does something with his feet' while he plays, so maybe he can go solo 1 day and 'outperform' Panda Bear as a 1 man band.

Enough abt him, though...

Did Vicki look amazing in so much makeup?
Did she sound amazing?
Did she take her brand 2 the next lvl?
Is Vicki LeGrand officially 'the #1 indie songstress' in the indiesphere?

Oh Vicki...

Should Vicki 'go solo' for an album or is Other_Bro super important 2 the band?
Do u <3 Vicki?
Is Conan officially 'more alt' than Jimmy Fallon?
Did Beach House have the best year of any pure indie band in 2k10?

Bebe Zeva is the face of the now-defunct & bankrupt I Am Carles brand. Recently, Bebe Zeva decided to cut her bangs [link], rebranding herself as 'a keut alt girl with bangs'. It seems like the bangs era was short, and she looked to move on 2 something way more alt. Dying her hair platinum/blonde/white seemed like her strategy, and now her hair is all blonde-ish and she looks keut.

What do u think of her new haircut?
Do u miss the bang era?

Is Bebe a beautiful brunette?
Do u support her hair coloring experiments?
Is her outfit/thigh tat 'totally keut'?
Do u think she is wearing a keut outfit?
Do u still <3 Bebe?
