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 head to toe is not. What is that shirt?"Take a look:Yes, on a normal person leading a normal lifestyle, that look probably wouldn't work. You couldn't really show up at a T.G.I. Friday's after a long, hard day at your realty company wearing that outfit and not expect to get laughed at. But if you show up at an Of Montreal concert in it, you're likely to be considered underdressed. Which is one of the many reasons we love Of Montreal: they wear ridiculous glammed-out clothes and put on an absurdly over-the-top spectacle. They make a huge effort to entertain their fans. They make all the bands that step on stage in whatever they rolled out of bed in look kinda weak. So this Glamour thing is like putting a photo of Flavor Flav up there and being like, "Eww, a giant clock! Guys, don't do that."Of course, the Glamour employee who put this feature together probably didn't know that this is a guy whose boss rarely wears pants. And that's OK-- most people in the world don't know what the guitarist from Of Montreal looks like. But we would like to take this opportunity to counter Glamour's "Don't" with our own "Do." We strongly encourage this kind of rock star style. Can more bands start dressing like Of Montreal, please?Also, this looks ridiculous.

fabchannel.com has announced a special webcast of one of the most talked about groups in music today, Of Montreal.
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...
