Controversy over how streaming service royalties are divvied up aside, I really enjoy our Rdio<\/a> subscription. I listen to a lot more music, try a lot of things and find new stuff I really love in a way I wouldn’t have otherwise. Rdio are much more album-oriented than Spotify which I prefer too. <\/p>\n

Just got an email from them promoting their exclusive access<\/a> to the new MGMT album, along with a pretty trippy video experience that ties in with the music, called the OPTIMISER.<\/p>\n

\"Rdio<\/a>
The triply crab-head humanoid thingy wants you to dance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Got to say, I’m new to MGMT but I seem to remember someone telling me about them before so I’m giving it a go and so far it seems like a sort of hippy funky electro psychedelic opera kinda vibe. I’m liking it, but I think a lot of that has to do with the dancing crab-head humanoid drawing me through a weird 1990s-era computerised vortex video effects. It’s not subtle, but it’s pretty fun! As you get drawn into the visuals, glance down to see the avatars of other Rdio users float along the timeline as they watch too. Which is nice.<\/p>\n

Sign into Rdio<\/a> now and check it out just for the weirdness. But you know – in a good way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
