The Meat Puppets' 13th album Lollipop continues the long-running psychedelic band's hot streak since returning from a hiatus brought on by bassist Cris Kirkwood's struggles with addiction. "Damn Thing," one of the new record's highlights, is a fine showcase for the trio's signature blend of crunchy guitars and laid back vocal harmonies. Lollipop is in stores on April 12th, but you can download the track now with the widget below.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
