Remix Fridays! MGMT “Congratulations” Spell Your Name With Numbers Remix

It’s rainy here in New York and what better way to start your dreary night than with some MGMT? Remix Fridays is personally one of my favorite things. Highlighting great bands being remixed by other great musicians is something that can’t be beat when it’s done right. This week’s Remix is MGMT’s “Congratulations,” remixed by Spell Your Name With Numbers. Sit back, chill out, watch the rain, and enjoy some MGMT.
