The Management's "Kids (Afterschool Dance Megamix)" (Music Video: Unofficial)

[rafarodriguesful]

I'm not a "Indie-Boy" but these guys ROX !

[elbowonfire]

I tell you one thing, MGMT is one of the only bands I have heard whose demos were IMPROVED by studio session work.

[fiendishing]

BEST remix.

[adamsully7]

Is this the same version thats on the 2004 we (dont) care EP?

[xxblessed1]

THUMBS UP IF HYDRA BROUGHT YOU HERE !

[augustiam]

@thetrueStaub I have climbing to new lows and the time to pretend ep and yes they are two different versions

also different from oracular. in the time to pretend ep (they) sings more of what you hear on Oracular but it uses some "cheaper" sounding instruments in it. I like em all! tho

[BrentLong]

@thetrueStaub I don't have the "Time to Pretend EP." I sourced the audio in this from the The Management's "Climbing to New Lows." It might be the same version; I'm not sure. I believe "Climbing to New Lows" might be a bootleg. Not sure on that one...

[reggie2xtreme]

i dont really like this version

[anastas91]

Where can i view the other video clip, because sony has blocked it! It must have been amazing!!!

[Kutthroatcommity]

Very nice filming man good job!:)

[BrentLong]

@Kutthroatcommity Thank you!

[morethanonenight]

i wish he said "HA HA" at @1.10 , like he does in video early kids ... great version otherwise :))

love it xD

[thedevilwearsJUICY]

do you say MGMT like the letters or Management? I never really knew.

[BrentLong]

@thedevilwearsJUICY I always hear MGMT, but you meet the occasional person who says management. Personally, I go with MGMT.

[xaxNAGATOxax]

@BrentLong MGMT was originally called "the management," but the name was being used by another band so they changed it to MGMT. its pronounced like M-G-M-T, saying each letter. =)

[synth3333]

@thedevilwearsJUICY they used to go by the management but now theyre mgmt cuz another band is called the management

[LoverAndTheLiar11]

at 4:00 it sounds like cheesy music from a 90's educational video you would watch in school? which isn't a bad thing lol!

[CroOokedTeEth]

love it. 

[MrMcpimpy]

LOVE the epic bit at 4.00 makes me get goosebumps everytime

[Jsnake1234]

definitely the better version

[BrentLong]

@Jsnake1234 Of the song?

[Jsnake1234]

@BrentLong yes, I mean it came out way before the Oracular Spectacular one.

[fuglybaloogawhales55]

andrew sounds different

[ClearThinkingLuz]

Thanks so much for making this! I actually like this version better than the version of Kids on Oracular Spectacular. This version is more raw, and I like it :)

[BrentLong]

@ClearThinkingLuz Heh, I actually made versions for both simultaneously. My MGMT version features an actual cast. This one clearly does not.

But thank you. I'm glad that someone else has a preference for this Management version of the song. I certainly do.

[ghettojunge123]

Great Song i love it :)

But in the last may 40 seconds who sings it ?the song is a bit scary like the one in Room 1408 :D

[shelly10538]

This version sounds more like Ric Ocasek and The Cars than the other version. Great group, their new album is excellent all the way through.

[watermeloncholy]

such an amazing song even before they redid it

[BrentLong]

@watermeloncholy Indeed. And I like it how neither version is really any better than the other. They both have a distinct appeal.

[bbuteo]

great channel 5\5***, as musicians, this kind of channel is just great, and all opinions are well accepted, tx so much for the opportunity, and if you have some free time check our music, tx so much and happy new year

[yannique]

If thats what Kids sounded like on their first album, i wonder what Hot Love Drama would have sounded like on their second.

[BrentLong]

@yannique Yeah, it's disappointing that none of the other songs on "Climbing to New Lows" have been remade. Maybe on a future MGMT release...

[JCFilmProductions]

i love this song and video!!! nice, i have some music videos that i have made check them out if u like

[BrentLong]

Thanks a lot! I'm too busy currently, but I'll try and check out your videos sometime in the coming weeks. :)

[modshroom]

dominant

[BrentLong]

Nah, recessive.

[IsraelSaves]

"I missed the days of MGMT performing nude at house parties," laments Veronica Grey.

[ashtonelisabeth]

@IsraelSaves Veronica Grey is a doucher.

[IsraelSaves]

@ashtonelisabeth

very appropriate since to douche is to shower.

viva la france !!!

[laridinhigh420]

badass version to jam

[GoobwarProductions]

i wish i knew where to get this album.

[IJwolf]

It's so awesome that I came.

[BrentLong]

Heh, thanks a lot. Nice to know you enjoyed it as much as you did! ;)

[Kurltoptw1sta]

Every real MGMT fan has listened to this version.

[abby4712]

haha i agree. Off the old album.

[BrentLong]

Yeah, I'm disappointed when I meet people who have never listened to their Management album, and this song in particular.

It's a good album and deserves more acclaim than it tends to get.

[HardyBoyTyler74]

Agreed.

[CerealDefender]

@Kurltoptw1sta Every real MGMT fan knows this album exists and has listened to it at least. lol

[sunnyRatatat]

@Kurltoptw1 every real fan has listenedto Climbing To New Lows. I still call them The Managment by force of habit.

[enjoi4life10]

that was amazing man

[BrentLong]

Thank you very much! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[hachibeach151]

Approved.

hb151

[BrentLong]

And I approve of your comment.

[godsgunsproductions]

i actually liked the video. screw what other people think about it i love the special effect. what video editing software did you use? and how do you do that? its reall pretty :))) i use sony vegas 9 atm

[BrentLong]

Thank you very much!

I edited this in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.

I can't remember the exact settings for the overall visual effect, but it was a rather complex combination of various video effects. I had to write down all the numbers and settings and apply them to every individual clip. Doing this and waiting for it all to render took some time. :)

I started off wanting it too look like it was shot in Super 8. I actually managed to come up with some cool Super 8 mimicry, but I opted to...

[BrentLong]

...go with what is now in the video instead. The Super 8 look would probably work better on some other project.

[saitorul]

I liked the video, people that didn't like it probably don't know what art is.

[BrentLong]

Heh, I need to write this one down. This is a rather funny quote. :)

But really though, it's okay if other people don't like it. I made another version of the video set to the MGMT version of the song that might have more appeal to those who didn't like this, the Management version.

And even if they don't care for both, it's cool. That the video is nearly seven minutes long means that I was kind of asking for some criticism. :)

[123ILoveD]

this video's lame well the song rocks but the video's just boring , oh well bye.

[BrentLong]

Sorry you didn't like it.

[iluvmychucks]

hey who first heard this song on 88.9 radio milwaukee!

[fortheloveofchange]

i faintly hear andrew in this voice. i think it's him, but his voice has changed significantly since then. love mgmt.

[surflikeacholo]

this is not andrew's or ben's voice. Who is it?

[BrentLong]

Yeah, it does sound different, but I imagine it's still one of them. Their music is after all largely created in the studio. Their voices in live videos sound quite a bit different from the recordings.

[myownway7777]

druebearr00

this is mgmt! their old stuff lmao!

[BrentLong]

I actually made a video for both versions of the song. Check the "more info" on this video. It includes a link to the MGMT version.

[BrentLong]

Huh? Do you not like this version of the song? I'll admit that it's a lot different than the MGMT version. And overall, I like it a tad bit less.

However, the version in this video is still by MGMT. They were just called The Management at the time and had a pretty different style.

[Druebearr00]

mgmt is the only one

[Druebearr00]

this is really horrible no one can cover this song and make it sound good

[redlands597198]

it's the same band... this is just an old version, not a cover!

[espolax]

LOL. Moron.

[Druebearr00]

oh yeah im a moron bc i listened to it and it didnt sound like mgmt and i didnt lok at the name of the band....yeah....ignorant ass

[espolax]

No. You are a moron because you wrote "this is really horrible no one can cover this song and make it sound good."

That is a moronic post, making you a moron. Understand?

[BrentLong]

Well, if you ask me, it looks like all the confusion's been sorted out here, so there's no need to extend this whole thing out.

[Druebearr00]

pkay dude what ever im not going to argue bc i made a mistake which people do..so chill

[espolax]

You are the one who said it was "horrible" so why even bother visiting the page anymore? moron...

[Druebearr00]

im not going to argue with some old dude who is still trying to be in the music scene.... get over yourself...twit

[espolax]

Old dude? Trying to be in the music scene? On youtube?? LOL. Thats a good one kid. POINT- YOU ARE A POSER. End of story. How old are you 12?

[Druebearr00]

no im not twelve and how can i be a poser when i think this song is shit even though i like mgmt

[Druebearr00]

im over it dude.. your an ignorant punk

[espolax]

How am i ignorant? You are the one who called this a junk cover. Go back to middle school and buy the new Lil Wayne CD.

[espolax]

Be over it. You know nothing about this band and music in general and Im sure if you arent 12 you are pushing 15. You have no idea, go listen to Kings of Leon or something.

[BerZerKeRLuV]

woah calm down psycho you and druebearr are retards flaming on chat over a song get hard...

[espolax]

Get hard you dork.
