And all y\'all bitchin about this show.... go wear a fanny pack to an Of Montreal show or something. In some alternate dimension where it\'s cool to do those things.

looks like the village people meets the mentally retarded people who got into the arts and crafts cabinet when teacher wasn\'t looking

which also summarizes the sound of their gay ass music.

I liked their show better than I thought I would.  It wasn\'t nearly as gay as I expected either.  Don\'t think I\'d bother listening to it without the visual of the show, but sure as hell better than anything on tv last night. Parts of it reminded me alot of early PFunk.

I had never even heard of this band other than here.
So I checked out some Youtube and oh shit that stage show is the gayest shit I have ever seen.
Ever seen a Gay Pride parade? It was gayer than that.
That being said I checked out some studio stuff and yep still very gay but solid pop rock.
I can see how they would be popular in the pseudo-intellectual hipster indie scene.

I\'ve actually been meaning to check that out.  I\'m glad the smaller cable channels are using writers and actors again.  I really dislike reality tv.

maybe you should just get a dictionary out... you might understand the music better if u know what all those big words mean !!! and the literary allusions probably flew over your head too.


I expected the lyrics to be more abstract.  I thought there was a lot of straight forward story telling.  I\'m a guy who often doesn\'t get a lot of art, but I felt like the music, the lyrics, the costumes, the screens in the background all worked together and the songs weren\'t hard to follow even though I was hearing them for the first time.  Though some of you hardcores told me this was one of their most straight forward performances, minus alot of the theatrics I\'m not such a fan of.

Something else they reminded me of- early/mid 90\'s Butthole Surfers shows.  If you enjoyed them, you should at least see of Montreal.

HAHAHAAHAA I seriously should NOT have been drinking a beverage when i read this.  To me, post of the year.  Normally, i\'d be offended by the "retarded" comment (my future bro-in-law has downs) but man that was funny ass shit.

They look like a gay thanksgiving celebration...

extremely gay


but i still love it. i only really know the three most recent albums, but i think they\'re all fantastic (i\'ve heard their earlier albums are on par or better). \'sunlandic twins\' is good pop rock (plus it has the outback steakhouse song!). the next album, \'hissing fauna...\' is a total departure and shows some truly emotional song writing. the most recent album, \'skeletal lamping\' is truly a faggy album. after the first couple listens, i was extremely disappointed except for a couple songs. way too  much going on...too many changes...and super gay. well, the album grew on me and it was the only thing i listened to for a couple solid weeks. there are probably many reasons not to like them, but their look shouldn\'t be one of them

Was Devo spotted in the crowd with his butt crack hanging out (see JimCobb\'s avatar for depiction) for the taking of those behind him?
