Second day for Kids by MGMT. To begin with, this song is so catchy and earwormable that I am surprised that anyone ever gets it out of their head at all. I'm pretty sure that at any given point in time at least 5% of the US population has this song running through their head. MGMT rocks the synthesizer HARD. So hard that they include what sounds like royal horns on the synthesizer, announcing the majestic arrival of the solo.
But mostly this song is about this year's Burning Flipside. Burning Flipside is the small Austin version of Burning Man, an art festival and experiment in temporary community. No words or pictures can capture the magic that is Flipside, but suffice it to say that attending Flipside has been life-changing for me. This was my second year to camp with RedCamp and wow, how I love them.
This year RedTony, the instigator of RedCamp, did some radio shifts at KFLiP, the radio station at Flipside. On Saturday night he DJ-ed a dance show and most of RedCamp was out shaking it in front of the station. And then he played "Kids" and we all exploded in dancing joy omg it's great to be aliveness. Saturated by the beauty. Lovely.
And that's probably why the song is in my head.
And here is the RedCamp Dance Set.
