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 Sullivan Theatre, fusing bits of the well photodocumented live show's various props and setups (the little gold dancing buddhas, the weird thing with super long limbs) to Gummy-beloved Skeletal Lamping's rapturous rave-up, "An Eluardian Instance." The performance kicks off with Dave suggesting Skeletal Lamping is an album worth knowing because it is on Rolling Stone's Top 50, which is a hilarious reason for suggesting an album is worth knowing, but then again it's good to let the national-audience neophytes know the band's critical acclaimed before they being disoriented by oM's shenanigans. (As Dave seems to be with that "Ohhhhkay!" at the end). Also may as well as cite RS since they were shut out by Pitchfork. It's a mildly laconic take on such a joyous, bursting song, but all the better to seduce you with their tripped-out high school play scenery. Plus the Late Show horn section gets in on it which is always stylish.

If there's one thing of Montreal believe in, it's epic and fractured polysexual songs that nod to literature, dance music, and deeply melodic '70s styled glam jams. And if there's four things oM believe in, it's polysexual songs, steak, T-Mobile, and great HD service. Comcast has spruced up their bid to be your cable service provider with a quic...

of Montreal: New of Montreal Video - "An Eluardian Instance"
submitted by Nick Jan 12th 2009 11:01 pm (stereogum.com)
Before 2008 ended, Kevin Barnes told us about some of his favorite things of the year. And before 2008 ended, we repeatedly told you Skeletal Lamping and its accompanying horseplay was one of ours. (You all agreed.) The rapturous "An Eluardian Instance" was always the strongest contender for single treatment, and with oM's pimped out Letterman p...

of Montreal: Video: Of Montreal: "An Eluardian Instance"

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...

of Montreal: Video: Of Montreal: "An Eluardian Instance" (Live on "Late Show With David Letterman")
submitted by Nick Dec 19th 2008 05:00 pm (www.pitchforkmedia.com)
Of Montreal pulled out all the stops on Letterman last night, enlisting their usual parade of fanciful props and costumes from their famously theatrical live shows. Barnes emerges from a curtained litter, decked in regal Prince purples, to perform "An Eluardian Instance" from this year's Skeletal Lamping.[Skeletal Lamping is out now on Polyvinyl]
