-from Glamour.com's article, "cool guy, cool cardigan, but is male cleavage a do or don't?"

It's important to be cool before trying to wear cool clothes.

Is that a sentence or did a dictionary throw up?

dissing fashionista, are you the destroyer?

He's just going to pretend Glamour doesn't exist, he'll pretend they're in Antarctica.

As long as we're being dicks about everything, muttonchops "begin" not "begins".

Also, I hate pitchfork because it hates everything.

FTA: Yes, on a normal person leading a normal lifestyle, that look probably wouldn't work. You couldn't really show up at a T.G.I. Friday's after a long, hard day at your realty company wearing that outfit and not expect to get laughed at.

Would it be OK to show up at Outback Steakhouse like that though?

OK I'm done.

Was it a female writer? Maybe he should hire some other girl to just go up to her and hit her.

No pitchfork likes things too. It's just that you'll never ever hear about them.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the tone of the article makes it pretty clear they like Of Montreal.

/and who wouldn't?

I would be disappointed if a member of Of Montreal didn't look like this. Sheesh.

Is this one of those bands I supposed to feel bad about not knowing, and not thinking that they totally changed music and the way bands look and play?

No. They're just a band. Some people like them, some people don't.

I am Of Monreal, and never got around to listen to them. SO now im listening to "Nonpareil of favor" and it starts off sounding like 60s pop then goes unexpectedly into a really nice chaotic wall of noise. Now listening to more songs...

Long story short, I think I like them a lot


/I think the dude looks like he should for this kind of music

That's an interesting description, and not inaccurate. My first experience with them was the song I quoted, "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games" which I thought had a sort of disco feel to it.

Not knowing who Of Montreal is isn't something I'd condemn anyone for, but I would say that if you haven't heard them you may be missing out on a lot of fun.

Muttonchops are the single greatest thing a man can do to his face. And this publication has proven in the past it doesn't know jack about a well-dressed man.

/love oM

You win the internets.

//yeah, I know

I saw Of Montreal at Pitchfork Fest in Chicago a couple years back and they were awesome! The look/outfit in the photo is very tame to what they looked like performing live -- sort of Rocky Horror meets glam meets WTF? Great show!

I love that song but when it comes to the wall of noise part I skip ahead.

Is that what happened to Vice Mag?

BP is on my shortlist of hittable men.

He's not in Kevin Barnes' league, though, mmm.

Yeah, to be honest ive been a bit lazy about new bands recently, what with getting crushing deceptions after crushing deceptions. But I will check them out, I liked the other songs too.

I already learned they are not even canadians, but from Georgia. I liked every single song, even though some were drastically different from another. I **LOVE** that in a band

didn't read the article, but here's an example of a kevin barnes outfit:

i love them, but i might have to agree. although i'd also be disappointed if the band showed up wearing jeans and t-shirts..

 
maldemer 2009-02-06 10:37:13 PM  
We know they suffer for fashion, or whatever.

 
dkny 2009-02-06 11:09:08 PM  
Mutton chops on someone who's clearly a farking asshole? Yeah, no.

He sucks, Of Montreal sucks, and you suck for liking them.

Haven't seen Of Montreal yet, but I have seen him as The Late BP Helium. And I've seen him on bass for Elf Power (their fuzzy years!).

I love them Elephant 6 bands.

if you haven't seen of montreal, you should. they put on a great (weird?) show.

A man in a pig mask fed me baby carrots, I got red body paint smeared on my face by a ninja in a gold John McCain mask, and Kevin bestowed onto my friend some kind of parrot necklace. It's not a show, it's an experience.
