Of Montreal – Sex Karma (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

I honestly can’t think of many bands that have disappointed me like Of Montreal over the last few years. Sure, Kevin Barnes has always been pretentious out the wazoo (and the yazoo, for that matter), but these days he’s making the coked up mid-’70s David Bowie look like Bing Crosby — and that’s when David Bowie wasn’t trying to look like Bing Crosby, mind you.

Of Montreal wrote quirky but fascinating pop songs many moons ago. Then someone got too big for his technicolor breeches. Now, well… you saw the video.

    The deal-breaker for me was buying Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies: A Variety of Whimsical Verse, only to discover that it’s terrifically and abhorrently obnoxious for 70 minutes straight.
