of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
RedLion:
Great album, but I still find myself enjoying their earlier stuff more.
Also, one awesome essay doesn't quite make up for Kevin Barnes being generally fucking psychotic.
ADDENDUM:
Oh, and I don't mean psychotic in a good way like Tom Waits. I mean more in an annoying, "Why are you allowed to roam free?" sense.
Tom:
It's definitely better than Intimacy.
Ballard:
I think he explains his reasoning behind being a dickhead well in the essay.
--- Quote from: Kevin Barnes ---Why commercialize yourself? In the art industry, it's extremely difficult to be successful without turning yourself into a cartoon. Even Hunter S. Thompson knew this. God knows Duchamp and Warhol knew it. Some artists are turned into cartoons and others do it themselves. I prefer to do it myself. at least then I can control how my cock is photographed.
--- End quote ---
If it's not the most honorable view of things, it's the truest.
Mind you, I'm not biased in the least as I have yet to hear a single Of Montreal song.
NOTE: Link inside the quote is VERY NSFW.
Beast:
Wow, you really put a lot of time into that... you'd be better off just emailing him
Beast:
At least it was better than most of the lyrics on Skeletal Lamping... I listened to it again last night, and the lyrics got even more noticable.
