Illness may prevent me from doing many things (taxes, going to work, Drs Appts, birthdays, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, the list goes on and on), but it won’t prevent me from going to see a kick ass concert, especially when the show is free, and when its Of Montreal. 

I got into this band fairly recently, and their latest record The Sunlandic Twins has almost incessantly been playing in the Volvo.  Except for when GAC steals it out to play it in the Van.  Regardless, its a damn catchy album.

Its almost easy to play Of Montreal off as being another one of those bands remaking the ’80s for all these little dumb kids too young to remember how lame most it was the first time, but once you listen to it for a while, what you see is a manic little pop band putting a sugar high to music.  Even tho the first song on the album sounds so much like the Cars that there is a point when GAC and I both go “I GUESS YOU’RE JUST WHAT I NEEDED” in unison, well, things like that you just have to take with the territory. 

Anyway, they’re great.  If my word doesn’t persuade you, well, head to their website and listen to a bit o’the music yourself.  The head to Pitchfork and read a review of one of their shows.  Not paying much attention because you never heard of the band?  Well, now you have.  Just because its new music don’t mean you won’t like it.

Anyway, if you’ve got nothing to do, mosey on down to Chatt Town and check em out.  Afterwards, we’re going to the Mud Pie to get loaded up on caffeine and beer, so you’re welcome to join us. 

Just don’t drink out of my cup.
