  lamping or "lampin'" is also slang for hanging out, "chillin'." (see PE's "cold lampin'".)

  Actually, I'm not always a fan of the live music played on Soundcheck but I like these guys and frankly, they sound more like David Bowie than Freddy Mercury or the Beach Boys.

  You've got to be kidding me. This sounds like a bad version of The Flight of the Concords without the humor...my my

  Wow, it’s not just me… at 30 I was starting to feel over the hill and out of it for not being able to appreciate self-congratulatory non-review-reading because-my-feeling-might-get-hurt I-follow-no-rules-but-my-own-so-everything-I-do-will-be-perfect artist.

  I wasn't going to post a comment critizing the usual negative tone that passes for musical critique, because that would in itself be a negative critique, but after listening to "Of Montreal" ...

  Oh, and it’s a little mundane, but “lamping” is also the term used in construction for putting lamps (light bulbs/fluorescent tubes) in fixtures following a lamping schedule.

  That performance was truly painful.

  That was painful. Especially while the "singer" (Do I have to call him that?) was caterwauling at the end of the second song. There just wasn't anything melodic or harmonious about it!

  I can honestly say that the live performance I heard today by this band was absolutely horrible. Probably the worst I've ever heard on Soundcheck. Weak guitar playing, and annoying vocals.

  It wasn't fun, and it wasn't funny.

  I wanted to call in and tell the dude that it's no wonder you don't read (lie) reviews of your work.

  I can't believe these guys actually had enough clout to even get on Soundcheck...

  it is neat to see that they riled up all these people, knowing now that they won't be reading any of it. of montreal has been moving forward, doing their own thing for many years. i really enjoyed the segment and appreciate what they are doing.

  So glad to see Of Montreal with some wider exposure. Their live show is not to be missed. Wish they'd talked more about their live shows in this segment.

  Of Montreal is ridiculously talented and Kevin Barnes is a phenomenal songwriter...

  Check out "satanic panic in the attic" or "hissing Fauna" to hear some amazing production.

  I loved hearing the stripped down versions of their songs. It is such a contrst from the electro style of the albums.

  sorry you guys arent feeling it...thankfully lots of people are starting to realize and after over ten years and albums tOf Montreal is hitting the next level

  of Montreal is incredible. I love you guys.

  Bryan, I adore you.

  Kevin, you are the reason for everything.

  :)

  You guys are great.

  great interview, great songs. it's too bad more people can't open their minds to see how awesome these guys are! keep up the good work!

  
  
• [16] Zelly January 10, 2009 - 06:06PM

  OH MY GOD.

  Okay. All of you...almost every single one of you who posted comments....are absolutely ridiculous.

  First of all, you should NEVER critique music you know absolutely nothing about.

  Have you EVER listened to anything else by them?

  I'm guessing you have not.

  Probably you are all listening to The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus as you type the hideous comments posted above.

  of Montreal is amazing and perfect.

  Kevin Barnes is a genius.

  And a SINGER.

  My God....people have strange opinions.

  How could you not recognize how wonderful of Montreal is?

  
  
• [17] Zelly January 10, 2009 - 06:11PM

  Okay I have posted so many comments on this now, but thank you so much to everyone who is supporting them. I just feel awful seeing all of the comments that are so ridiculous....

  I know that of Montreal wouldn't care anyway, but I just wish more people could see how truly brilliant they are.

  WOW. of Montreal kicks ass. Lay off. I don't know what I would do without them. I have all of their albums, and I am currently trying to get most of their vinyls. THEY are amazing - and remarkable in concert.

  hahahaha!!!! too funny!!

  the fact that you talentless haters who " are all listening to The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus as you type the hideous comments posted above." and have zero knowledge of pop culture in the music world actually listened to the whole thing is awesome!

  one of the best bands of the last decade!!!
