I'd read on You Ain't No Picasso that for their Lexington show, Of Montreal came onstage without Kevin Barnes and played some organ-y music, only to be joined moments later by their beutiful frontman, who was wearing a wedding dress. Mark and I were talking about that on the way to the show, my thoughts were that it was something that was probbably a one-off thing to spice up a special night but something he wouldn't do every show. Mark Disagreed. He was right.
(I had to lift this photo from someone on stillepost since I forgot the camera like the crazy scatterbrain I am)
Of Montreal were fantastic, like always. I have great respect for anyone who is deleriously happy for prolonged periods of time and shows it off by dancing and grinning and generally being a boost to everyone around them. I guess that's how I sum up the show. Musically, it wasn't quite as good as when I've seen them before (Like, on a report card they'd get an A + rather than an A++), but that may be due to my wierd bout of self consciousness, or the bigger venue, or possibly a mild slowdown in tempo. Whatever it was, I was very happy staying till the end and danced myself silly too. Combined with the sushi dinner and me managing to get at least a little bit of work done, I'd say it was really good night.
