Yup, it's nice out. Perfect weather to load up this playlist on the Zune, get outside, and pretend you're in shape by doing something athletic. Then, after five minutes is up and you're all sweaty and breathing like an asthmatic hyena, get inside in some A/C, grab a chilly Schlitz and listen to the rest of the mix:

MGMT "Time To Pretend" Remix Download

I've been kind of obsessed with MGMT's "Time To Pretend" lately, listening to it countless times on the iPod, jogging to it, and even watching the video for it with my silly MGMT 3-D glasses. I don't know if it's the funky/hokey synth melody, the funny/scary/goofy lyrics, or the combination of the two, but I'm totally hooked.

Thankfully, I just received a link to a pretty sweet remix of the tune, which hopefully will help mix things up for me a bit.

Get it here, for a limited time:
