MONTREAL

Of Montreal are about to drop their newest album in the months to come and I figured I’d get you kids ready for it by posting a video you might have missed or forgotten. A first time out for animators Kangaroo Alliance, their shot for Wraith Pinned to the Mist has already made the festival rounds and even gotten an appearance with your best friend/worst enemy Jim Shearer on Subterranean.

Brian once read an interview with Les Savy Fav, where they were just recovering from a party in which each person was to bring a copy of a singular song to be played at the party, meanwhile, the person also had to dress up like said song and rock it til the break of dawn! (P.S. I’m so freakin’ jealous of that party.) Anywhoo if that party were to happen today, this is the song that I would choose and I would dress up eskimo style or, now that there’s a video, maybe a penguin (watch the video and see why).

This now begs the question for you folks, which song would you bring to such a party, what would you dress up as, and why hasn’t anyone invited me to one yet!?! You all know you wanna tell us, so do the right thing, and leave your answers in the comments area. I can’t wait to hear from you all!!

I’m also posting this in honor of our most prolific and dedicated commentor, a one Miss Adriana, who has been here from before the beginning and still finds time to agree with whatever James says when he talks crap on me, yet still make me smile. Cheers Adriana, to your dedication to music, videos, and witty (sometimes) literature.

    Oh Los, How did you know I would love such a video?? It makes hatred and death look so cute and desirable. As for my song… I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

    thanks for the shout out :)

    This song makes me want a nice, juicy steak.

    are you fucking kidding me! Is that actually barnes.

  • Adriana said:

    ha ha. that poor song is destroyed.

  • James said:

    Yep. He totally sold out. And apparently, he’s proud of it. If I ever see them live again I’m going to play a diggery-do throughout his entire set. And then throw a 24 oz. filet at his head.

    This one already has five comments. Is it because it has cute fluffy animals in it? Or is it because all this promise about steak?
