The University of Minnesota's football team looks to be headed for a bowl game this year, and the school's student-run radio station, Radio K, has also chalked up a couple of W's. First, Of Montreal stopped by the station a couple of weeks ago to give acoustic performances of "For Our Elegant Caste" and "Beware Our Nubile Miscreants", both from latest album Skeletal Lamping. The arrangements are stripped down, but Kevin Barnes' falsetto and lyrical flourishes still soar. Then, on Election Day, Marnie Stern sang and finger-tapped her way through blistering renditions of "Transformer" and "The Crippled Jazzer" from her lengthily titled new sophomore album, plus "Vibrational Match" off of the debut LP. You can download Stern's set in HD for a closer look at just how hard she might be able to school your ass at "Eruption". (For now we'll settle for "Don't Stop Believing".)Video:> Of Montreal: Various Songs (Live on Radio K) (no embed, sorry)[Skeletal Lamping is out now on Polyvinyl; This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That is out now on Kill Rock Stars]

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.
