Wow! Buzz from the Melvins is looking great these days 😉 ha ha!

I legit clicked on this video because I saw the thumbnail and thought it was about The Melvins. DISAPOINTED :(

I like Melvins... I have 17 of their Studio Albums...👍🏻 'Houdini' and 'Stoner Witch' are my favorites...

I recognized one of the leads from the Hallmark Cinematic Universe and that threw me off the first time I watched it. I've heard a lot about Christine & the Queens and I regret not listening to him before this - a gorgeous voice.

[@richardsonIII]

"Pleated trousers and Warehouses" is my new vegan recipe blog. Also, I got excited when I saw the shock of big, white hair in the thumbnail and I thought it was going to be a reaction to the Melvins. Ah well, "you can't have everything."

[@TheEWFX29]

I thought the same thing.

[@chrisshort4542]

The Bow is the front, Howard Stern is at the back, hope your neck gets better soon.

“It’s not about likes for me” as the graphics click the like button 😂 Love that track jacket. Sauve, M’Lord. Thank you for always showing and naming the chords as you figure out tracks.. helps a slag like me figure some stuff out. All the Luv’a from’a Bruv’a from anotha’ Mutha’, Bruv 😘

[@AndySalinger33]

Justin you magnificent bastard! 🤘

[@suneyeintuition4315]

Love it. Will be checking out more of this artist. Don't say that about everyone you cover, that's for sure. lol 😬 I think most of the time we are just hearing about someone's infatuation when we are hearing about someone's "love." That's why people don't care to hear it. Underneath, we can sort of sense the lack and their belief or hope that someone is "completing them." When people are in love, you can tell. That's a very abundant vibration that's contagious.

[@eleanorclaire]

Love everything they’ve put out so far from the new record. The last one was brilliant so have high hopes!

[@schmemmm]

This is the first song from MGMT I've heard since Electruc Feel was big and it's extremely good for something with such a hardcore 80's vibe. Chris is amazing on this song as always, he keeps getting better and better.

[@JojoFryrocks]

I declare this to be…Billy Idol meets Flock of Seagulls meets Everything But The Girl, in the best possible way ❤

oh yesss haven’t even started but i’m SO EXCITED to see this review! i haven’t listened to much mgmt but i’ve loved Christine and the Queens’ album Chris for yearssss and i love this new song too!

[@MariaFrancesca]

He does have a lovely voice!

[@raywood4223]

So funny, my first thought was about the sun shining into a warehouse and how much I enjoy the aesthetic. I love U2 ❤

[@Nayz13]

The bow it the back front back of the boat 😂 I was a bow rower, you face backwards to propel the boat forwards.

[@raquelsnt]

Yes, Communards video was in my mind all time!

[@mattdylan664]

I love You Justin, your musical tastes and mine don't always align but that's cool because how boring would it be if they did? Hope there's a new Darkness album in the future , i absolutely love everything you lads have done to date. You have one of the most incredible voices in Rock N Roll since Freddie Mercury, Rob Halford or Robin Zander

[@ryutou-ki4dl]

just watched you do their other song off this album and had just listenied to this and was HOPING you would do this one

[@rabsil100]

Excellent Music Theory Lessons ! This I Understand !

[@burtbackattack]

This is somehow more 80’s than anything from the actual 80’s. It’s ok, not entirely my cup of tea but could be a grower.

[@scary_fu]

the bridge and outro are pretty amazing

[@samuelwhite8400]

The video looks like a frame by frame reshoot of It Must Have Been Love by Roxette. I dig it 🤷

[@NackDSP]

Some of the vocal style reminds me of the falsetto in Rocky Horror. Love it.

[@jackie38401]

I don't know what to make of this... I'll have to listen to it a few more times. I've just watched Streaming of a White Christmas...an absolutely stunning show, tiny mistakes made, but all the better for those mistakes.. Unbelievable that you hadn't played together for 8 months, blew me away... Sorry , I digress, but it made me happy watching your DVD, hope you enjoyed your run in the beautiful forest

[@barbarabrundage4625]

Video of dancers in a warehouse with light streaming through? Sounds like one of my favorite Darkness videos!

[@MrDenzel20]

Gives me big time after time vibes for some reason

[@RK_peace]

nick cave and Kylie Minogue 'wild rose' is the best

[@michaelmorrow9927]

Cannot say this song moves me in any way at all, However! their song "Nothing to declare" is Awesome.. the girl in the vid is Amazing "if that was not some editing trickery" I feel the lyrics, music fit the vid to a T... this one eh Meh... but those are only my feelings.. Each to their own :) Thanks for sharing their Music as i would have never got listen to their other works...

[@mustardegg2]

Ever since their first album MGMT seem to purposely not adhere to traditional song structure, you never quite know where you are or what’s next.

[@Littleneddygtw]

you had me at double stack ribbed turtle neck track suit. please sir, can I have some more

[@arcd]

Good call on Cindy as I get lots of Time after Time for sure. Not the whole song, but large parts and the overall vibe for sure.

[@RenewedRS]

The bow is the front of a boat ya dingus Justin!

[@guiarusso]

80s vibes always put a smile on Justin’s face!🎉

[@SuziQ.]

5:29 Dancers backlit from sunlight streaming through the windows in a warehouse reminds me of the film “White Nights” (Gregory Hines & Mikhail Baryshnikov). The bow is the front of the boat. The back is the stern. You could have had some fun with that word. 😂 Yes, there’s a bit of Cyndi Lauper. Not my cuppa, again. 🎶 I don’t trust people who say “I love you,” when they barely know you. It’s lost its meaning due to its misuse/overuse lately.

[@aprilkurtz1589]

Much like the word "hero" has lost it's meaning due to misuse, mostly. There world could definitely use more actual heroes.

[@workmansong]

6:40 original indeed. MGMT one of the most consistently original artists out there today

[@anrdrewleggett5521]

Bow is front, stern is rear of a boat Justin 😊😊

[@nexusbrill]

This is my favorite Howard Jones song.

[@ElBee-ip2jq]

It's the same warehouse used in the Polyphia video for Ego Death! :)

[@RosieHarp]

The little thumbnail looks like your wearing a neck brace 😆 I thought you had whiplash from your wonderful on stage acrobatics. Sorry ........

[@mcmycee]

Another great video to add to your oeuvre, but does any body else think the placement of the mic vs The Hoff's groin hilarious?

Just a lovely reaction. Once again you've got my cheekbones a hurting from laughing so hard. On my way to get some pleated pants and some artificial light rays. 💛🤘🤙✌️ I love you.... PS & BTW

[@MsCruisein]

Bow is the front, stern is aft or back.

[@bradswiftney]

I posted on TikTok, but I’d love to see your thoughts on Dayseeker! Their lead singer, Rory, has an angelic voice for a rock band. I’d say Neon Grave or Without Me both highlight his voice’s range, and the songs are incredible 🤘🙏

[@chasedwards9626]

Best wishes on your recovery mate. Whiplash is no joke.

[@eyesintheskies]

I hope your neck gets better soon 🙏

[@MariaFrancesca]

You ARE cold! 😀 I have to admit, though I don't really like heat and sun, when I was chiselling the car out of an iceberg the other morning, I was almost jealous of your stay in the surfer's paradise 🙂

[@SuziQ.]

Yikes! Where do you live? We don’t even get snow here (SoCal), though it does snow up in the mountains, which is a minimum two hour drive. We’ve only had rain, combined with high tides and a few rogue waves. I can’t imagine chiseling my car out of an ice block. 🥶

[@MariaFrancesca]

@@SuziQ. He he, Sweden, so quite a bit farther north than SoCal, yeah 🙂 It's so annoying, you have to plan to go outside at least half an hour earlier than you're to be off, so you have time to let the car heat up, and scrape off all the ice, which sometimes is stuck on there pretty hard. You're frozen half to death before you even drive out of the parking lot 😀

[@ZuzuTheLemon]

I don't like heat, but I'll be glad when winter is over, I've forgotten what the sun looks like! 😂

[@MariaFrancesca]

@@ZuzuTheLemon Right! 🙂 I'm definitely not a heat loving person, I start to fear for my life already around +25 C, or so 😀 But this Ice Age winter ain't it either!

[@SuziQ.]

I don’t like heat , either. We’re coastal, so it’s usually 20-21C here. It can get up to over 30C in the summer, but not usually. At least, when it’s cold, you can add layers of clothing. I used to live on a gulf coast that got disgustingly hot and humid in the summer. I stayed inside with the air conditioners set to 16C. Maria, you don’t have a garage for your car, or does it get trapped in ice when you’re not at home?

[@sadlerjr]

What type of jacket is that! Cant find it online

[@philmus1]

That's the same warehouse as the Porphyria video a few weeks ago

[@williamr3840]

[@sah-win]

Hope that run was good. When I take breaks, those first few back can be rough. I’m going running also after this. I don’t have a fancy tracksuit or a forest to run through though. 🥸 I spent some time up in the mountains a few months ago and had some truly lovely runs. It was so quiet and peaceful. I’d love to live in an area like that.

[@MariaFrancesca]

I've got nothing BUT woods around here (and the occasional cow) I should start to run again.. I will... when winter is over... 😊

[@sah-win]

@@MariaFrancesca I’d say if you can start again now then give it a go. I hate the cold (used to love it) but there is something refreshing about running/exercising out there when it’s winter.

[@MariaFrancesca]

@@sah-win Yeah, when I was younger, the winters didn't stop me. These days my arthritis gets worse with the cold, so I get lazy. But in reality, more movement helps, in the long run, even if there is more pain at first. I've found it helps to run in these forests because there is so much moss, the ground is bouncy, and it's so much softer on your knees 🙂 I can't run on asphalt anymore, at all.

[@sah-win]

@@MariaFrancesca Makes sense. Starting back up is always tough. I would think being immersed in that greenery would help a little too, at least psychologically.

[@MariaFrancesca]

@@sah-win Yeah, it's easy to get stuck in these bad circles. That's the best, really, with exercising in the woods - nature! Early in the morning, mist hanging over the hills and the peat bogs, the sun rising over the lake, a cacophony of birds and the occasional deer... 🙂It's the best, both for your body and your mind. I miss that 🙂
