boner4mgmt: the glitter penis chronicles continued.

dl: GLITTER PENIS - So Many Days (Z)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep promising myself that I'm not going to write any MGMT-related posts for a long time after the BONER4MGMT series. I've even been holding off on posting some more Glitter Penis tunes I found on the mgmtfans Livejournal forum. Apparently the powers that be are trying to test me, as I have just received an e-mail from a mysterious character known as Flick Noopy with a link to glitterpenis.com. Upon loading the page, one is greeted by two names (Noopy Stivitz and Loranzo Solo) sandwiching the band's name. Clicking Noopy's name will bring you to his blog--- a collection of drawings, historical figures, IM conversations and macaroni doing the macarena. Clicking on the text below his name brings you to a page where you can enter your e-mail address to receive two full-length Glitter Penis albums entirely free.

For those of you who are just joining us, Glitter Penis is a group that Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT started with his Memphis/high school friend Dan. They recorded one full-length album entitled River Offices in 2003, narrated by a cowboy named Gordon Johnson. The other album is a collection of "greatest hits" recorded between 1998-2001. All of the recordings vary in quality and awesomeness, but there are a few gems in the mix that hint at the eventual progression of sound of MGMT.

BLOGGER NOTE: While this post is very Andrew-centric, it should be noted that I just discovered that Ben Goldwasser of MGMT is from Westport, NY. My family vacationed and continues to vacation at Lake Champlain off a road between Westport and Port Henry, NY. All I'm sayin' is that it's kind of random.

Hi, random message from a fan that should probably get a hobby -

thanks for the blog/humourous peek into MGMT's Wesleyan days... makes us all wish we'd been cool enough to have attended there. =\

I was wondering - is there a way to get the links to the songs to work? Most of them aren't, just a couple. I tried all of them.

Thanks again by the way - it's sweet. (you mightn't like that adjective, but it is what it is!)
