You Ain't Got No Soul Power


The guest list is def where its at in terms of show going, and if you're ever presented the opportunity, go at it with full force. The folks at polyvinyl records, in conjunction with Bryan Poole hooked me up this time to go see Of Montreal at the Troc. It was an awesome show, with no "wardrobe malfunctions" like the show in Las Vegas. Thanks the lord. There were some fantastic costume changes, eye makeup* abound, and less fantastic underwear flashing, but I suppose that comes with the territory. Of Montreal puts on an excellent show and if you have the chance to get tickets, I fully encourage it! Perhaps the harmonics of the Troc boosted their over all production, but whatever the case, they sounded and looked amazing. Grand Buffet came on before Of Montreal, and if you're all about white boy nonsensical rapping, they're your steez.


*Seriously, the Man looks good in eye shadow, too much blush tho (unless you like cheap hookers).

Suffer For Fashion



















Today, I had the opportunity to do a phone interview with Bryan Poole, a guitarist from Of Montreal. It was a really quick interview, timing out to an intense 10 minutes exchange. Basically, we kept the convo on the topic of the bands live show...and Kevin Barnes...addition to their show in Vegas. Bryan spoke on the influences of Little Richard and "real" live shows that really entertained, and the dichotomy created between older shows and current too cool, indie shows. Which is understandable, but, for some reason, i don't think flailing penises are the answer.


Call me old fashion. Of Montreal will be playing in Philly next month, on March 8th, at the Trocadero.













(I feel he should be wearing pants, but that color eye shadow looks good on him)
