Who was wondering about "Of Montreal"? I downloaded one of their earlier albums off Emusic and was deeply, deeply disappointed, considering how good "Disconnect the Dots" was. They were, I hate to say it, twee. Ugh.
That was me, erinaceous. And yeah, a lot of their earlier stuff might qualify as twee, whatever that is. I didn't think it was my thing at first, but it really grew on me. Which album was it? I love a lot of stuff off the older ones like
Cherry Peel, Gay Parade,
and
Coquelicot.
I own
Bedside Drama,
which probably isn't as twee as the older ones (tommyrot, you heard some of it; chime in), and if you like "Disconnect the Dots," you should love the rest of
Satanic Panic;
it's great. Though the other songs are more songs than trippy atmospheric jaunts, though in typical Of Montreal fashion, there are some bizarre interludes. But it's more electronic and sample-based than the early stuff. And very catchy. And oh so good. Mmm.
But yeah, if you don't like twee, I guess you should stay away from the earlier albums. Even if there's some brilliant stuff like "Penelope" and fun stuff like "Don't Ask Me to Explain." Ooh, and fun story songs like "Nickee Coco and the Invisible Tree" and "Ira's Brief Life As a Spider."
hums "Jacques Lamure"
Also on [Soundcheck], Brazilian vocalist Cibelle. She serves up tropical electronica inspired by the likes of Nina Simone, Tom Jobim, Bjork, and Ella Fitzgerald, that’s a wide leap from ‘60s bossa nova.
They left out the "samba Nirvana." Seriously, she just covered "About a Girl".
Huh. She's coming to Ann Arbor soon. Or in the next few months, at least.
David, Mick Rock is on Fresh Air. It should be archived later today or tomorrow if you can't listen when it's on. I think you'll like the photo on his homepage.
Iggy's very limber. Ouch.

Oh yeah.
Iggy's very limber. Ouch.
He's very bendy. Remember when Motorbooty did an article about a fake Stooges museum in Detroit where you could get Iggy Salt and Pepper Shakers which poured out of his chest wounds?
I still want those salt and pepper shakers.
I bet you could talk to the Archie McPhee people and they'd have their guy in China whip them up. I mean, really, who WOULDN'T want Iggy salt and pepper shakers?

If I were a rock star millionaire this is how I would be spending my money.
I'd kind of like to have Iggy containers for my peanut butter and glitter.

Yeah, but with Iggy containers they'd be dispensed through his COCK.
Much like Iggy's, David's big COCK appears to have stunned the crowd into silence.
