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]

(You all agreed.) The rapturous "An Eluardian Instance" was always the strongest contender for single treatment, and with oM's pimped out Letterman p...
Bummer that the video for "An Eluardian Instance", a song taken from Of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping, is showing now only on Rolling Stone's postage stamp-sized player, but that's what were working with. If you squint a little bit, you can make out a long series of still photographs showing a rather surreal storybook being brought to life. We see...
Back in October, of Montreal created one of the year's most iconic stage scenes when Kevin Barnes sang "St. Exquisite's Confessions" in nothing but gold lame short shorts on the back of a horse. Obviously neither the steed nor Kev's hottie briefs made it to Letterman last night, but he still brought some of Montrealesque theater to the Ed Sulliv...
