“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster … and if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
You may recognize these words from the great American novelist Mark Twain, or you may have just seen the quote scribbled on the opening frames of the music video for MGMT‘s hit song song, “Kids.” Either way, there’s no denying the fact that this is one weird-ass music video. And that’s putting it mildly. I’m pretty sure that MGMT planned the entire music video while on acid. Now that I think about it, acid-inspired music videos seem to be a recurring theme for MGMT.
Anway, after making it through the minute-long intro, and ignoring the fact that they traumatized a small child throughout, the video turns out to be pretty mediore. For some reason, I’m getting the feeling that they’re just trying to hard to be eccentric and/or edgy. But that’s just me.
haha, this is nothing short of terrifying. although i did liked the ending.
animal collective’s fireworks did monsters more tastefully… and the piss poor quality of time to pretend was something more appreciable.
animal collective’s peacebone* i mean.
how can i embed your video? and IM me when you can, i have so many questions!!!
hover over the video, and click on the thing in the top left hand corner. or just pause the video or wait until the end
The quote is not from Mark Twain! It´s from “Beyond Good and Evil”, written by Friedrich Nietzsche.
“He who uses quotes might take care lest he thereby credits the wrong author.” dhsmono
