This album hasn't really caught me as much as some of their previous ones have. I might have to give it another listen or two.

Come disconnect the dots with me, poppet.

they certainly are super.
and id never heard of them before your other thread and now im totally obsessed with them

It's certainly quite a bit different sounding, Wonky. :)

Tell ya what, just got me copy of this one.

It's fucken awesome. So much pop goodness. And then the epic krautrocker The Past Is a Grotesque Animal right in the middle. Excellent. Makes me happy.

If anyone's interested, and ya fucken should be, use the gmail.

God, 'Grotesque Animal' might just be the best thing they've ever done. And that's saying a LOT.

I haven't heard much of the rest (except Disconnect the Dots) but if it's anywhere near as good, I'm there.

Oh, you are so there. My christ. It's his masterpiece.

overrated band

Do you like any E6 bands blake

NMH of course and a tiny bit of OTC

I have an Elf Power CD i've never listened too.

I've had a brief listen to your fave circ system album and it's ok.

I think Of Montreal are decent, but far from great.

Circ system didn't click for me 'til about the fifth listen. It's such an organic album.

Albums like that don't grow on trees.

Here's the artwork for 'Hissing Fauna':

gave fauna a listen last night

was a bit meh but the second half was spectacular !

i do like this new album, i thought i might grow out of it after a couple of listens, but it's still very good. btw, does anyone know if any of the elephant 6 groups ever toured in australia?

jeff magnum played in NZ ... think that's the closest 'they've' ventured.

best album of 07!
"i cant just hit her"

some bits are quite dark and bitter on the album. it's a strange sort of break up album, but i like that there is always a sense of hope.

it would be nice if they came to australia or if jeff magnum magically appeared at a local pub.

tell us more! that'd be rad.

i heard laneway

:~~(

that's not a bad thing surely

Will anyone even bother going to Laneway next year?

Sideshow, please.

it's good up here

I heard laneway has a new location In Melbs.

No thanks to Of Montreal.

Hmm, looks like those 2 sentences are related.

I'm just saying no thanks to the idea of of montreal playing it. On a personal level.

Yeah.

new record may have leaked by now? anyone got some?

So... if I hate that song with Of Montreal on the Janelle Monaé album (but love the rest of her stuff), is it odds-on that I'd hate Of Montreal?

Thought so.

i have it anok. it's not very good :(

What's this Jon Brion remix EP all about? Anyone got that?

it's from last year. tracklisting:
01 First Time High (Reconstructionist Remix of ''An Eluardian Instance'')
02 First Time High (Of Chicago Acoustic Version)
03 Gallery Piece (JB Remix)
04 Gallery Piece (Long Version)
05 Gallery Piece (Instrumental)

will hooks you up bluff.

i dunno raven, you like some pretty out there stuff, but i guess none of it is as swaggering and flamboyant and camp and sexual as of montreal (but then what is?). they're pretty varied. some of their stuff is too much for me, but try listening to gronlandic edit and the past is a grotesque animal.

hook me up TS!

i don't think it's raven thing anok. of montreal is much too funky in a bad way for him.

new album is great.

i don't think it's raven thing anok. of montreal is much too funky in a bad way for him.

Yeah I think that's right, thanks traffics, you're ma homey!
(Note: but yeah I do love Janelle Monaé oh yesssss)

That said, Gronlandic Edit is pretty good! Will report back on the other one shortly :)

The other one, well it's ok. I pressed stop though.
