Just got home from an Of Montreal show

It was maybe the 7th or 8th since 2002, when I first saw them on their Adhils Arboretum tour. This was in the main room at 1st Ave--the building that Prince made famous in Purple Rain. Brilliant show. High energy. Good song selection. Costumes, props, great music...and as an encore, bandleader Kevin Barnes said "we ought to play the hit of the summer of 2006, don't you think?" and they played Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." (G.B. had been here a few days ago and played the same room."

What a show. I really believe they sit, joined by only the Shins and Belle & Sebastian, at the top of modern pop music. Wow.
