The title track from MGMT’s latest LP gets some visual treatment. I fully expect this to be bizarre and wonderful in equal measure, as most of their videos tend to be.

If you think that you’ve seen all that April had to offer, or just want some fresh acts to dig your teeth into, look no further and check out some awesome tracks and bands that may just have slipped in under the radar.
Probably the best remix I’ve heard of this song to date. It stays very true to the awesome original and doesn’t speed it up obscenely, like most dance remixes tend to. The additions that are made are worthwhile, and definitely make this track ready for a club playlist. One to check out for sure. Kid Cudi-Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix) ft. MGMT and Ratatat
This is actually really, really good. It’s got a much eerier feel than the original video, which fits the song really well. Not that the original didn’t, but they fit the song in different ways. I really like the ‘groundhog day’ repetition that they’ve got going on, and it definitely catches a different mindset than the original. Very interesting video, and really well directed. I’m not sure which version I prefer though, I think I’m 50/50. Great song, 2 great videos=winner! I’ve only just heard this song moments ago and had to get it up straight away – this is just so good. As you may have noticed yourself, it’s a remix of the MGMT song ‘Kids’. I will post the audio for this track at a later date (haven’t got hold of it yet). What a video. A fantastic effort, which genuinely enhances the song with a great set of visuals. The effects on the video really capture the dream state that Cudi describes lyrically, as he moves at normal speed amongst the slow-down surroundings to develop those themes brilliantly. Couple of nice cameos too, with Drake playing a prominent part and Consequence popping up once or twice.
Go grab Benny Benassi’s remix of Cudi’s Pursuit Of Happiness (oh and while you’re at it, go read the review of his superb album) Pursuit Of Happiness (Benny Benassi remix) ft. MGMT & Ratatat
