Andrew VanWyngarden is widely accepted as one of the sexiest men in indie. Although MGMT's sophomore album Congratulations, Yall! was met with mixed reviews, in no way would any one wish anything bad upon the MGMT frontman. This weekend, rumors of Andrew VanWyngarden's death swirled around twitter. The message eventually reached Andrew's dad, Bruce VanWyngarden, and he responded that the rumors were TOTALLY BS.
Phew.... For a moment, the entire indiesphere was worried. What if Andrew had passed? Would indie ever recover? Would we be able 2 hear the song 'KIDS' without crying? Will Andrew rise from the ashes of his fake death and write an amazing 'junior album' [via post-sophomore]?
Bruce VanWyngarden seems like a chill dad. I am not sure if my parents would be able 2 know if I was dead or alive. :-(
Let's take some time to think abt the real fathers of indie music. Let us thank them 4 their seed, their care, their buzz-cultivation. They are the true curators of buzzworthy content.
God Bless Bruce.
God Bless Andy VanBroGarden.
