So, the Of Montreal show last night (in Athens, at the 40 Watt) totally rocked my socks. If you’ve never heard their music, you need to go take care of that right now.
I’ll say this, though… when I was a college student, it was amusing, even endearing, to know that basically all shows were on “Athens time” - so if it was advertised to start at 10, you knew it would be at least midnight before whoever you came to see went on. Now that I’m an old person living in Atlanta, it gets on my damn nerves a little. It was a kickass show, but it would’ve been just as kickass four hours earlier. But hey, what’re you gonna do? Nobody likes a curmudgeon, so I’ll shut my filthy mouth and quit my complaining.
Of Montreal rocks your ass all over the place, leaving you feeling excited but content at the same time. -Oh, what the hell do I know, I’m no Flagpole music writer. Anyway, the point is, the show fucking ROCKED.
Off-topic: Last night downtown Athens had a disturbing overabundance of cockroaches. Not fun.

Dang it, it’s that damn Athens time skew that caused me not to go at all. I can’t be out all late on a weeknight! I’m old and tired. I have to *work* and actually get my butt up in the morning. You and Cari are truly hardcore for coming from Asslanta to see the show in spite of early mornings.
I salute your hardcoredness.
I got home at 3, asleep by 3:20. Awoke at 6:15 when my carpool ride called me from outside my door. Had a comment at work as to why I was wearing eyeliner and mascara (that I couldn’t get off in my rush to get out the door). hah
Now, naptime.
The show was awesomeness.
