Of Montreal singer Kevin Barnes interview

[feligirl01]

He has such an amazing voice :) ♥

[strokesfan815]

What's with all the gay comments? He's straight, which is good because I love him, and he's married with a daughter. Ok? And even if he were gay, it wouldn't make any difference because he'd still be awesome!

[PrimericanIdol]

I'm not even gay, but Kevin Barnes is hot.

[retroEddz]

@camoflaugetampex no fags aloud. so, get out while we listen to this awesome band you jealous little shit

[abciance]

@retroEddz one of their first albums is called the gay parade, I like this band, doens't matter if you're gay or not, so try to get over yourself, okay?

[retroEddz]

@camoflaugetampex nope, that'd be you.

[jmoorhead05]

Why do I love Kevin Barnes? Because when his phone rings he says its faries!! LOL

[zephyrgrim]

This guy is awesome, and I don't mean this disparagingly, but despite being married and identifying as a heterosexual, he surely must have craved cock at some time in his life, if not every now and then.

And if so, so what? No big deal. It's just an observation. He's a cool, cool guy. More than that, really.

[thefuckheadsgalore]

@camoflaugetampex I wasn't aware I was so important to you.

[thefuckheadsgalore]

@camoflaugetampex How so? I am attracted to guys who don't necessarily fit in to typical gender roles. Who I like defines my sexuality. Don't you have something better to do, I don't see the point you are apparently so passionate about making.

[thefuckheadsgalore]

@camoflaugetampex Mm, no I think I can define my own sexuality thank you.

[blah22322]

@camoflaugetampex Calm down what's wrong?

[Kingro619]

@reedposey public enemy! Pure classic! Glad to see someone else out there knows who they are :/

[Meman136]

He's just a black she-male.

[XcarryonlittlebuddaX]

Is it just me or does he like a male version of Tegan Quin?

[5winston]

would love to know the book at 0:13.

[MindBloodandDark]

@5winston The book the girl is reading is "Capital of Pain," or "Capitale de la douleur"  by Paul Eluard, the author whose name is referenced in the song "An Eluardian Instance"

[TheDinnerTimeBoys]

this cokehead sniffles too much

[tkellett89]

@TheDinnerTimeBoys hahahahahaha

[reedposey]

Seriously? Haven't you heard of Public Enemy? Flava Flav and so on:

I'm lampin', I'm lampin', I'm cold lampin', I'm just cold lampin'

[canihasusernamepls]

To all those who can't believe he would perform the way he does AND have a wife....I would totally support his act if I were lucky enough to be his wife.

p.s. He has beautiful brown eyes

[Drewb18c1]

i'm *really* not a conservative kinda person, but its kinda fucked up to watch some of the stuff he does on stage knowing he has a wife and daughter :/

[tylurlee]

@Drewb18c1 why so?

[aleisterbatman]

What exactly is Skeletal Lamping? I assume it is when you shove a high powered light bulb up your ass.

[Cassafinn]

@aleisterbatman

Lamping is a technique of hunting by which you shine bright lamps into clearings in the forest which stuns the animals there so you can capture or kill them.

Skeletal Lamping, approximately as described by Kevin, is the act of applying this technique to your inner demons. Shining a bright light on the darkest parts of yourself and killing the demons that dwell within you. Its a poignant image.

[JournalisticKMedia]

I've got an interview up with Of Montreal as well. Check it out.

[PoorDeadBat]

I <3 u Kevin Barnes <3 <3 <3

[haloglitch117]

my mind blew more when he said he had a wife than their song "Gronlandic Edit"

[15danie]

my wife??

WTF?!

[jackcanthink]

If I were straight, I would go gay for him.

[MonstaJammer]

wtf is he in a mall or something?

[rtoles83]

SO CUTES!!! ding ding... "fairies"

[Jorjax0x]

anyone else get a little jealous when he said it was a love song for his wife? :P haha. ohhh kevin, why must you be married?

[ilovemutemath]

do NOT listen or watch the "An Eluardian Instance" when you're sad about a girl. It's a great song, but not when you're sad.

[angeleslans92]

front row at the concert yesterday!!!! IT CAME OUT AWESOME!!!!!

[mutebydesign]

i love how the color of his scarf and his hat don't match, as in the shade.

But he pulls it off.

KEVIN BARNES, HOW DO YOU DO IT?!

[ScarletxCrimson]

How sweeeeet!!!!!!!

[MinkyBoodle44]

That was cool. I still bet the album they'll make after the one they're recording right now will be called The Controller's Fears, if they keep going in the pattern they're in right now.

[TheJonjaweed]

It's actually The Controller Sphere. And the name of the album soon to be released is still not known, so this could either be False Priest or The Controller Sphere.

[MinkyBoodle44]

actually, i was thinking of the one after the 2010 release. that one has been announced as false priest. but thanks for the correction, because i could never fully understand what he said, so i was just taking a guess at what it was.

[blacktopaz8]

man i hate u2. Fuck!

[tranio91]

he's the man.

[heaveninbrooklyn]

whats the poets name?

[Nanu1318]

He's Paul Eluard, he's french and writes beautiful stuff!!

[dianasaurrr]

just saw them last night... AMAZING!

[poierpal]

They are amazing. They create more of a musical play thing then a concert

[dianasaurrr]

I couldn't agree more! I can't wait to see them again.

[rwasta7007]

there is no they, all the music is created by one guy

[Zebztheshit2]

soo fkin what. you dont call the beatles paul and john do you?

jerkface

[rwasta7007]

them? kevin barns does EVERYTHING in that band

[SaintJimmey]

Almost everything. But I get what you mean.

[chriistiee]

diana! LOL. hi

[Joselyn548]

Damn this guy is such an artistic genius. I just adore him!

[RandomPerson244]

every1 melts to his voice ;)

[thefuckheadsgalore]

I want to be a man so I can be gay for Kevin Barnes.

And then I will angst about how he isn't gay at all.

[Tribune12345]

lol

[RandomPerson244]

i wish too!!!

[ofdarknessandlight]

me too... except I am a guy already. and straight

[reedposey]

@thefuckheadsgalore Maybe you could just be boring for him and self important and hang out being liberal democrats together, then you can go shop at American Apparel and fulfill the capitalist rockstar dream, without pushing anyone's boundaries, and holding sacred the institution of marriage as it was laid out by America's slave-owning forefathers. Then, in your twilight years you can look back at the holocaust the world was going through at this time and say, "Well, at least we had good taste."

[thefuckheadsgalore]

@reedposey To the extent this comment is judgmental is absolutely laughable. Look at yourself, you do realize the internet, youtube, etc is also run by huge corporations fronted by privileged fat white men? Go fuck yourself, I haven't set a foot in American Apparel in my life. You have no idea how much I care about where the world is going. I'm sorry I take moments to appreciate art and aesthetically pleasing humans.

[systemtees]

@thefuckheadsgalore tim, he wishes you were born a girl

[mmmballsack]

THIS FUCKING MAN. I love him so much. No one captures human emotion so perfectly like this fella.

[Tayl0NP]

I'm totally gay for him...

When I met him after a show I stumbled all over my words and made a fool of myself... I even wrote a song about it.

[themanwhoplaysbass]

hahahaha same here!

the exact thing happened to me

[zyzzy78]

I haven't seen very much video of Kevin, but I think this may be the happiest I've ever seen him act.

Maybe he had a good night's sleep...

[matthez]

? why does that bother you somehow?...listen if your not accepting of bi sexuality then of montreal aint the music to listen to bub, and gay isnt really a good way of describing something! what are you still like 15 or something?

[patjo74]

i tell u wats up with the "gay" hats, HES FUCKING KEVIN BARNES BITCH

[XxGenEroCityxX]

Hell yea! He can wear anything and still be fckin sexy! XD

[PaulCookeMusic]

[SgtSoprano]

Cool guy... HISSING FAUNA!
