  The Management, on tour with Of Montreal
The Management is a band composed of recent Wesleyan graduates. They made sweet sweet music that spoke to our hearts. Just when we thought they were out of our world, I got this message from them on MySpace...

"College is over for the management lads and what better way to celebrate than a 28 date national tour in the fall! You heard right...
Everyone's favorite fake karaoke pop band willl be opening for OF MONTREAL in August and September! The tour will take us up the east coast, into the great northern plains of Canada and back through the midwest to NYC. Check out the dates at KorkAgency.com under Of Montreal.
With your help, maybe we can be on the O.C. by early next spring! In the meantime look out for more new songs to be posted soon.

- the management"


In case you don't know, Of Montreal is a relatively popular indie band...and The Management are a more than relatively awesome band. This means that they're probably right about the O.C.

Go to their MySpace page and listen to "Kids"...if it doesn't change your life, you might want to transfer to another school. (j/k!) Yes, most of us don't understand the lyrics...but the music speaks for itself. Do you know what it's saying? "Boogie down until your body collapses in an orgasmic heap of groove" That's what it's saying.

Or, you could just download these songs (On PCs...Right Click, Save As)...
The Management- We Care (my second fave song by them)
The Management- Everything is Happenin' So Fast
The Management- Just Becuz
The Management- Love Always Remains

BONUS: Some other tunes that some Wesleyan kids are sometimes jamming to. Those students namely being me, Joe John.

The Exploding Hearts- Sleeping Aides and Razorblades
(whole album here)
Gorillaz- Feel Good Inc.
(I know, I know...it's in iPod commercials, but it's still a good song!)
The Changes- When I Wake
Hellogoodbye- Call N Return
(A good amount of Alpha Delt kids, well at least two, love this band. I love this song.)
O-Zone- Dragostea Din Tei
(Romanian popstar outlaw picassos...ready to steal your heart and make you dance.)
The Walkmen- The Rat
A.C. Newman- Miracle Drug
M.I.A.- Galang

Smoosh- Massive Cure
Elkland- Apart
The Postal Service- Such Great Heights
The Postal Service- Be Still My Heart
(I didn't know who they were until Wes...none of my friends from other schools have heard of them.)
