Can You Clap Your Hands (clap clap)

I just got really excited when I noticed Of Montreal's "Gallery Piece" was #1 in popularity on Hype Machine at this very moment.  The Athens, Georgia-based group released their most recent album Skeletal Lamping earlier this year.  Its a satisfying mix of weird and awesome all in a single album, as expected.


Of Montreal - 11 Plastis Wafers.m4a
This is not an appropriate ringtone, I've learned.  Hopefully I can get some pictures up here soon from their performance at Lollapalooza, but the camera I used for that one is killed.  There is a two-page spread of it in the most recent copy of Spin Magazine though, incase you're interested.
Of Montreal is known for being a bit weird on stage whether they're throwing undressed baby dolls into the crowd, dancing around in monk costumes, or faking suicides on camera.  Just another day...
A friend of mine told me about witnessing Kevin Barnes (frontman) purchase a fair amount of clothes and accessories from a local consignment shop. Everything was purple ...there was a show that night.  New Years Eve, maybe- I don't remember.
