Ohmpark’s Top 10 Music Videos of 2009

of Montreal - An Eluardian Instance
Before I begin awarding the sounds of 2009, i wanted to give a little props to the best eye-candy I've seen. These ten videos clearly stood out to me above the rest of this year's offerings. They are definitely all a million times better than that garbage from Beyonce and Taylor Swift . So, enjoy: 10. Of Montreal : "An Eluardian Instance" This video has just got a really nice, fun vibe to it. The special effects are utilized just right and [...]

Kevin Barnes Now Actually Working On Song For Beyonce

Kevin Barnes Now Actually Working On Song For Beyonce From Kevin Barnes's Twitter : "Started work on a song 4 B.not that she's contacted me.just in case.it's called"He'sMyPartyDrug". sounds like The Time meets Four Tet." With the media's play-by-play coverage of this and the invention of Twitter, these two could plausibly crank this thing out into the world before they ever have to do anything crazy like meet or talk on the phone. It's a shame. We hear Athens is lovely this time of year. We're also pretty pumped for the look on Mama Beyonce's face when Kevin and his [...]

A Retrospective Top 25: Best Albums of 2005

A Retrospective Top 25: Best Albums of 2005 2005 opened my eyes to a world of new music. I joined the crew at KZUU over the summer, my first summer back in Pullman working toward my Masters in Business. I'd spend my two-hour show pouring over thousands of obscure albums, looking for anything that might spark my interest. While music had always been a borderline obsession, until now it was just that - borderline. In the days that passed, it became a full-fledged consumption of everything me. There are turning points in all of our lives, and DJing at KZUU was absolutely one [...]

Of Montreal Would Love to Work With Beyonce

Of Montreal Would Love to Work With Beyonce Filed under: News Of Montreal have responded enthusiastically to remarks pop diva Beyonce made last week about the indie band. In an interview with The Guardian , the 'If I Was a Boy' singer said she might be interested in teaming up with the psychedelic pop ensemble. "There's so many people I'd like to work with still, but I'd like to maybe go outside of the box," she told the newspaper. "My sister has put me on to bands like Of Montreal and some other [...]

Beyoncé: voglio gli Of Montreal

Beyoncé: voglio gli Of Montreal L'interesse di Beyoncé per il mondo dell' indie non è propriamente una novità. Introdotta dalla sorella Solange , che ha recentemente realizzato una -splendida- cover di "Stillness Is The Move" dei Dirty Projectors (potete ascoltarla qui ) e ha trascinato Beyoncé e Jay-Z al concerto dei Grizzly Bear , l'artista più nominata ai prossimi Grammy Awards sembra stia per lanciarsi seriamente in una serie di collaborazioni con alcuni nomi della musica indipendente. In una recente intervista concessa al Guardian , infatti, Beyoncé ha confessato proprio [...]

Kevin Barnes Is Totally Ready For Beyonce's Jelly

Kevin Barnes Is Totally Ready For Beyonce's Jelly Earlier this week we told you Beyonce expressed a desire to collaborate with beloved weirdo Kevin Barnes and his Of Montreal counterparts. Now Barnes responded by telling Paste "I would be fully psyched to work with her" and saying lots of super nice things about her music and voice. That's cool for Beyonce and all, but our high school band said the same thing about our aspirations to make music with Kevin Barnes and dude never even commented on our blog. Ever. (Via: Paste )

Beyonce to Collaborate with of Montreal?

A few months ago, we saw Solange Knowles make a special guest appearance at an of Montreal show, joining the band for a cover of Diana Ross' "Love Hangover." So it's no surprise to learn she's gotten her big sister Beyonce into Kevin Barnes and co.'s addictive antics. In an interview with the Guardian , when asked who she'd like to collaborate with next, the singer had this to say: "There's so many people I'd like to work with still, but I'd like to maybe go outside of the [...]

Hissing Beyonce, Are You The Destroyer?

In a recent interview with The Guardian for their Artist of the Decade feature, Beyonce revealed that she was interested in working with Of Montreal on her next project. Weirdly, it was her sister Solange and not her indie-obsessed hubbie that turned her on to Kevin Barnes and Co. Although with Jay-Z crushing on bands like MGMT these days, maybe this is for the best. We're fairly certain that if any sort of "Electric Feel" meets "Single Ladies" hybrid was ever created the universe might actually explode. And we prefer our universe explosions without psychedelics and headbands thank you... (Via: [...]

Best Songs of the Decade (2000-2009)

Best Songs of the Decade (2000-2009) After much thought, I decided that I wasn't satisfied with my original list, nor my execution of it. I have done a lot of reviewing and listening over the last few weeks for both the Decade-End and Year-End celebration that you will see here in the coming weeks. This has helped me through the revision and tightening of this list. I will reveal PMA's picks for Best Songs of the Decade in three parts; each part will contain 25 songs that will make up a new episode of the pmaCAST. Here are songs #75 to 51: [...]

A Retrospective Top 20: Best Albums Of 2004

A Retrospective Top 20: Best Albums Of 2004 What a decade it's been. 2004 was my first year in the so-called Real World ; jobs, car payments, instability everywhere. Things weren't all happy and seemingly upbeat like the mid 90s. After eight months in Seattle, I found myself unemployed and decided it was time for more education. I moved to the greater Portland area and began prep to enter a Masters in Business Administration program, taking night classes at WSU Vancouver and making a frequent trip out to Pullman, where I'd soon attend graduate school. The overall instability and open-your-eyes wake-up calls [...]

The Twelves – Episode II

The Twelves – Episode II The Twelves have released 3 fantastic mixtapes and so far I've posted two and it's been one of the most downloaded files on this site. The time has come to complete the series with the with yet another jewel, Episode II . Aside from Steph Lund's Le Miel du Mois (recently crowned mixtape goddess on The Clink ), I can't say I've heard many mixtapes that can keep my attention for more then a song but this series has absolutely no problem accomplishing that task. I quoted my friend Ben when I posted their last mixtape [...]

Review: Of Montreal at The Fox Theater in Oakland

Review: Of Montreal at The Fox Theater in Oakland Somehow, this review never made it up onto thecolorawesome after the show on July 25th, 2009. It was a great show, so I'm publishing the review, even if it is a few months late. - Paige Of Montreal played the Fox Theater in Oakland last Saturday. I'd been a bit on the fence about going. I'd already seen, shot and reviewed them twice since Skeletal Lamping was released last year. I decided if I could shoot the show I'd go, otherwise I'd take a pass. Lucky for me I [...]

Song of the Day: No No Baby by James Husband

Song of the Day: No No Baby by James Husband James Huggins has just released a catchy new track, "No No Baby" under the moniker James Husband. It starts out slow, acoustic and low-fi and quickly electrifies and builds into psychedelic yuminess. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a sampled sitar. And the album art is beautiful, too. Stream "No No Baby" by James Husband from LaLa of Montreal's own James Husband (aka James Huggins) has been assembling recordings for at least a decade, and now at last Polyvinyl Records has released his [...]

Les Savy Fav Play New Track on 'Yo Gabba Gabba'

Les Savy Fav Play New Track on 'Yo Gabba Gabba' Filed under: News , New Music Art-punk pranksters Les Savy Fav have premiered their first new material since 2008's digital-only live album 'After the Balls Drop' on kids' TV show 'Yo Gabba Gabba.' A one-minute, 15-second celebration of the joy of having new footwear, the song 'Shoes' provides the soundtrack to a short animation on the hyperactive Nickelodeon show. You can watch it after the jump. Featuring the lyrics, "Shiny and clean, they're my favourite colour green, my new pair of shoes," the song is something [...]

yo gabba gabba

yo gabba gabba I've only seen Yo Gabba Gabba once-partially because of the intriguing musicians they've had-and even though I've "outgrown" children's programming I still found myself humming along with their catchy, and educational, soundtrack. With artist appearances from The Roots, The Shins and Of Montreal it's good to know that the #1 children's show is at least exposing decent musicians rather than Hannah Montana or the Jonas Bros. The Yo Gabba Gabba crew will actually be performing live at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco (November 28th) and Filter has given us two pairs of tickets to hand [...]
