Preview of MGMT: Performance on SNL

By Lady Meow

Going from the initial tweets and I some what agree (I edited this after New Hampshirite put in that tid bit, a-hole) But they might be totally different when they perform here.
Tweets, the bad:


Wow, this MGMT performance on SNL was excruciatingly awful. I can't imagine paying money to see these hacks play live. Simply terrible.


Dear MGMT on SNL. You are terrible. It sounds like you are playing three different songs and forgot to bring a singer with you.


I just don't like MGMT. Fuckin' weird shit. my friend came into my room and asked me why I was listening to a sonic seizure

Before tonight, I'd never seen what #MGMT looked like. Now I've gone from ambivalent to hating them.

Tweets, the good: None. I guess they played "Brian Eno" and played "Flash Delirium"off their new album. I hear Paul McCartney loves them, but I thought their 2nd performance was horrific. Honestly at the end they literally danced & played how mentally challenged people do. I'm sorry but I tell it like it is. But you be the judge and I hope they are million times better when they come here!

For real, you be the judge though:

The Art of: The Motivational Speech

Over the history of time there have been thousands inspirational speeches that have provided quotes for others to live by. There was Dr. Suess with "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" speech. Thomas Edison also had a few, perhaps his most famous included the line "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." I have narrowed down all of the great motivational speeches in Hollywood and I present to you: The New Hampshrite's Top 5 Movie Motivational Speeches. 

5) Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa in Rocky Balboa. What makes it great: It makes me want to be better. 
4) Chris Farley as Matt Foley SNL. What makes it great: It may not be a movie but it is truly a comedy classic. You can't talk about motivational speakers without mentioning Farley. 
3) Denzel Washington and Will Patton as as Coach Herman Boone and Coach Bill Yoast from Remember the Titans. What makes it great: This movie is full of motivational/inspirational moments. But on this list it comes it at number 3, even with a 2 for 1. 
2)R. Lee Ermey as  Sergeant Hartmen in Full Metal Jacket. What makes it great: It is the classic 'break 'em down to prove me wrong style." A must see movie and a must see clip. 
1) Emilio Estevez as Coach Gordon Bombay in D2: The Mighty Ducks. What makes it great: See for yourself, truly epic.
USA! USA! USA!


As a side note, that is one diverse hockey team! Texas, Miami, South Central LA! 

Stay classy, not UMassy.
