well it says that it is an idea for the future in the article (right at the bottom). I would be interesting. It sounds like Tom and Ed could be busy with collaborations in the near future after they are done touring. Oasis, MGMT....whose nxt. Looks like we'll be getting another album in the future (THough probably not till 2010).
As for MGMT and an opinion from me. Can't say I have much. I heard an interview with them on Q with Jian Gomeshi on CBC Radio 1 a few months back and...well they sounded like stuck up music snobs in the interview. Maybe it was the way I was that day though. I've really only heard two of their tracks and it wasn't much to go on. Anything that is a chems collaboration will get a listen and a lot of scrutiny from me, and many of us here.
