They had that electric feel.
My friend and I were able to elbow our way closer to the stage, where I was jostled by jumping fans. (I think you can see my arm in the YouTube video.) I was about three people away from lead singer Andrew Vanwyngarden, who sported red boxers, athletic socks and purple suede shoes. His eyes were open for about 30 percent of the show.

I sweated and screamed throughout the band's set with the rest of the crowd. After an abrupt exit, they performed a short encore. Technical difficulties in the middle of "Kids" forced the band to restart the song. No one minded. MGMT is a band to keep an eye on. They were signed to Capitol Records and released their first album on the label "Oracular Spectacular" in January. I blogged about their crazy music videos back in June. Since then, they played Bonnaroo and are set to play Lollapalooza.

Beach and boards in New Jersey

The one thing I like more than indie rock is the beach. So on Saturday, I headed down to North Wildwood. I soaked up as much sun and local culture as I could. Apparently, people love ultimate Frisbee and think Lil' Wayne should run for president while down the shore.
Saturday night, I walked the boards and went on the wooden Great White coaster after filling up on fries. Not the best laid plans, but my stomach survived. I got a bird's-eye view of the neon-lit Wildwoods from the giant Ferris wheel before capping the night off with an ice cream cone.

I was back in York on Sunday in plenty of time to see the season two premiere of "Mad Men." The show is so stylish and smart that it makes everything else on TV seem like a brain-rotting waste of time.
