It's really strange. Some sites said they produced it, some say Timbaland, some say something else..

Weird though.

Sorry to say, not the fact that Jay-Z's "Blueprint III" did leak today, but the MGMT Collab track apparently was left off the album. According to some new online articles, MGMT did indeed contribute either a new track/production on it but it was left off. Oh well, roll on Flaming Lips/MGMT "Embryonic" Collab track!

I'm sure it would have sucked anyway.

I'll wait till the album comes out but I don't have high hopes.

Interview with Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips. He mentions the track that MGMT worked on for the new Lips album. Sounds totally wicked.

Paste: And the kids from MGMT?

Coyne: They did their first record with Dave Fridmann at his studio, and they’re going to attempt to do their second one. We were working on this song and didn’t really know what it was going to be, but Dave Fridmann was talking to MGMT, and while he was on the phone with them, I got on the phone with Andrew [VanWyngarden] and said, “Hey we have this song, would you guys want to sing on it? And we’ll send it to you?” So, knowing that they were going to sing on it, I just went in and made up these lyrics and this melody that I thought if I could do a song with MGMT, what would it be like? I sent it to them, and I think they worked on it in the middle of the night; I think they started working on it at midnight. I think it’s not just Andrew and Ben [Goldwasser] of MGMT, but their whole group is sort of doing stuff with them, and I think they set up a microphone in the middle of their room out there, and they all ran around it screaming and throwing spears at the microphone or something.

It’s a very inspired track, and when they sent it to us, we literally lined up our track with their track and just let it go. Everything they sang is on there, there’s a very small bit in the middle where they, I don’t know if they were aware of it, but they broke into Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” I don’t know if they realized they were recording, but that part we didn’t use But everything else they sent us is there.

In the spirit of what we were doing, it’s calamitous, it’s inspired, it’s freaky, it’s drug damaged, and it’s wonderful… They’re just a lot of fun to just do stuff with, and they bring their imagination to it.

You're such a rebel, David. P:
