KIDS are our Future.



The preceding music video is the collective work of the band MGMT (pronounced Em-Gee-Em-Tee) and director Ray Tintori. While the auditory execution of the number in question is what initially drew me to this feed, I share it here because of the sheer prowess of Mr. Tintori and his visionary work. RT is impeccable in his execution of makeup, costume, animation, and pyrotechnics; what results is a level of synergy oft unseen in this day of bootyshake and bling. This presentation harkens back to the days of Peter Gabriel and Dire Straits, when music videos were as much of an expression of art as the songs themselves.
Those here at SciencePatrol pray that in the future, history will promise to continue to repeat itself, as it presently has done.

Note that MGMT themselves have disclaimed that no children were hurt during the making of this film.
