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]

This weekend, Trent Reznor announced on the Nine Inch Nails website that his band would tour this year with fellow Lollapalooza 1991 alums Jane's Addiction (original lineup and everything!) and that this might actually be the last Nine Inch Nails tour ever. Well, now we've got one date on that tour: the Sasquatch Music Festival, at the reporte...

Photo by Marty PerezThese days, we're stuck deep in that weird, dispiriting gulf between Spoon albums. You know the drill: The last one, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, is a year-and-a-half old now, and we've heard all the songs enough times that we know when each little guitar ping will come in. But the band hasn't announced any plans for another album yet, a...

Glamour.com's Dudes & Don'ts is sort of like Vice's Dos and Don'ts except not funny (or original). But this men's fashion photo feature turns weird here, when Of Montreal guitarist Bryan Poole, aka the Late BP Helium, shows up. Turns out he's a "Don't".Here's what Glamour says: "A little scruff is sexy. Looking like a caveman from hea...

Photo by Kathryn YuAt this point, Of Montreal is basically Gwar, except glammier and less scary (more sparkles, less fake blood). But the Athens pop-theatre institution still keeps it real with its Elephant 6 people. And when keeping it real means recording a split 7" single for a tiny uber-twee indie label's monthly singles club, they're ready...
