Photos by Kathryn YuJeff Mangum's first live appearance in ages and that totally batshit insane Diesel party sure looked nifty, but the award for biggest spectacle in New York City this past weekend should probably go to Of Montreal, who hit up Roseland Ballroom Friday night in support of upcoming disc/sticker set/tote bag/etc Skeletal Lamping.

Kevin Barnes is already road-testing new tunes because when is KB not writing new tunes, but as usual his mind and muses are moving a few gears too fast for a promo cycle still chewing on the schizophrenic pop freakouts of the excellent, if not Hissing Fauna-excellent, Skeletal Lamping LP.
