This week’s free iTunes single is “Time to Pretend” by MGMT. The very beginning reminds me of a GoGo’s single, and I don’t think that association is completely by accident. As the song begins to pick up, it quickly jumps pass that 70’s all-female band and into a completely different territory. In fact, I’m pretty sure that the band is made up of two guys, if the album cover is any indication. The song itself is actually pretty enjoyable. It will definitely get a few listens from me and makes me wonder if the band has any other good songs on their album. That’s not to say that this is a great song–it’s not. But it has a different sound than most of the free singles and doesn’t make me wish that the song will end quickly. Not too shabby…
