It’s a Monday, and although I haven’t officially started my job yet {still waiting for a visa application and then a chance to move to Shanghai} I do have a distinct feeling what Monday’s are all about. They are usually meh. And when I’m feeling lethargic or down and out there is one song that consistently pulls me from the depths of any sort of despair and sets my feet to dancing. That would be this song which hails from last years Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? (amazon) (itunes). If you can keep yourself from dancing when the “oooh, ooohs” start at just after four minutes into the song you should have someone check your pulse. The stream of consciousness narrative in this song is just brilliant. I love the lines “at least I author my own disaster” and “things could be different, but they’re not.”
mp3 : Of Montreal - The Past Is A Grotesque Animal
Of Montreal, aka Kevin Barnes, are putting out their new album, Skeletal Lamping, on October 7th of this year and the rumours continue to circulate that they’ve taken a leap off their beaten path. This could mean an amazing album is hitting shelves soon. Keep your ears open.

I’m really glad you put Of Montreal up! They are by far one of my favourite bands and I am very excited about the upcoming album! Good Luck in China!
i’m not entirely sure the new album is going to be awesome… from the leaks so far it’s… well… good, but not brilliant.
I find that a bit disappointing. I was hoping it would be amazing. I guess we will find out soon enough.
