Full Coverage (Vol. 1; MGMT)

Sunny Pittsburgh, PA has succumb to cloudy skies and thunderstorms in the past couple of days. No complaints here. It might impede my walk down to the Hop House for Monday karaoke and free pool night. But, dammit, it’s been long overdue for some good ol’ spring showers and cloud cover.

Let us rejoice in the rain and pay homage to the cloud cover with a new feature here on PSoV.

We’ll start off with MGMT. Just about two weeks ago, they finally released their second record, Congratulations, on Columbia Records. MGMT is currently three dates deep in their summer tour of North America–check them out in a city near you.

We can never get enough of Oracular Spectacular, however. I present to you three covers of singles from their eclectic debut.

Time To Pretend – Jónsi
Kids – The Ooks of Hazzard
Electric Feel – Katy Perry
Closer (Nine Inch Nails cover) – MGMT
