Some cool music on a dreary night. It's chilly and wet here (with some thunder and lighting, even!), so I thought I'd brighten the evening with some music by Georgia band of Montreal, from their early days. Song list inside.→[More:]

"You Are An Airplane"
"Don't Ask Me To Explain"
"One Of A Very Few Of A Kind"
"You Feel You Must Go, Don't Go!"
"Montreal" (this one is such a tear-jerker)
"Scenes From My Funeral" (this one isn't a downer- more of a metaphysical lark)

All of these songs can be streamed or downloaded from here. Enjoy!

Not the WORST band name ever, but rather annoying, especially when used the way you just did. (So is "Georgia" a band of-or-from Montreal, or what?)

Is "Montreal" by of Montreal any better than "In a Big Country" by Big Country?

Still, thanks for the sounds...

i have never found another band that expresses what it's like to be in my own head in a musical way better than of montreal. seriously. especially "satanic panic in the attic".

besides maybe joanna newsom, but that's a whole different part of my head.

wendell, I thought about bolding it or putting quotes around it, for that very reason. :)

That's very cool, mw!

BEEEEEEEPS! If you like Of Montreal (and who doesn't - I mean, come on, it's like not liking sex or Disneyland)

You should listen to more Harry Nilsson. He has a song called Me and My Arrow that is THE lost Of Montreal tune.

PLUS...listening to Harry Nilsson will make you love life more.

I know that song, LT! I haven't heard it in many, many years... I'd never have made the of Montreal connection, but you're right! :D
