Dear WorMz,
The day has finally arrived! WorMee’s public beta grand opening is now scheduled for Wednesday April 15th, 2009.
Until then, we will have to close the site for a few days (yes, we know…) to clean the place, hang more posters on the walls and be ready to have you and your friends in our district.
Be patient and you’ll all be soon metamorphosed into WorMz! 
A big special funky drum roll for all our beta WorMz who helped us hunting all bugs. THANK YOU ALL!
We will be waiting for you on www.wormee.com
We wish you a great week-end!

“Oracular Spectacular” made it onto every list of the best albums of 2008 and even came out on top of the Inrockuptibles chart. WorMee looks back at a controversial album and gives two sides of the argument, for and against MGMT as album of the year.
For: “It’s a crazy, shameless record without a shadow of a cliché and that’s why “Oracular Spectacular” is one of the best albums of 2008 and a future classic.” JT (posted on WorMee)
Against: “Just mediocre. In any case, not enough to go calling it the album of the year. Much to the disappointment of all those Parisian spin merchants.” CW (Posted on WorMee)
MGMT: album of the year ? For or Against?
Haven’t you ever gotten up one morning and had a tune stuck in your head, that you heard somewhere the day before, and couldn’t figure out how you could get rid of it? Your spirit is obsessed al day, especially when it’s a tune that you hate, like the last hit by…uhm…no, let’s not use that example.
Illness? Mental disorder? A pathological case? WorMee, being the kind and curious earthworm that he is, has looked into the question and eventually found an answer in Peter Szendy’s work, “Hits, Philosophy in the Jukebox” (Editions de Minuits publishing), which you’ll find in all good bookstores.
According to the author, 99% of people are, one day or another, subjected to this condition which is called, “the illness of the ear worm,” you can’t make that up! Tracing back from the German Ohrwurm, the “ear worm” indicates a “musical itching” of the brain, and even if it takes on the appearance of a kindly virus that attaches itself to the host and sustains itself by feeding off of the host’s musical memory, there is no reason to be alarmed…if only for the fact that you have to get used to the fact that a simple little tune which seems to have come from everywhere (or nowhere), accompanies your life, and creates an incomparable soundtrack, and goes together with the unique and singular character of each one of you…We’ll let you meditate on this subject! And if you’re asking yourself if an earthworm can suffer from an ear worm, don’t search hard for an answer, because it’s yes, and WorMee is the living proof of it!
