[spilledinsanity]

[tvsuicide4]

[LeaheyHoo]

hey, check out there new concert video on our page!

[freakindinosaur]

yeaahh we both did ;D

bahaha we go to her school, cause we're awesome and live in athens

[spilledinsanity]

athens sounds cool. but dont obsess over someone because theyre parents are famous its stupid and annoying.

[brittanyisdabomb]

lu Luv LUV this song

[Soulvania]

weird video but sweet song, i heard this my first time triping on shrooms and i thought i was hearing things, then i juts started dancing.

[animeandy2153]

that's not what happens when i took shrooms... man ..maybe you were on acid? o;

[weglarz]

Substances effect people in different ways than others. You have no way of knowing whether or not that actually happened. Audio paranoia is common during the peak of a mushroom high (t + 3:00 hrs). The dancing, well, I personally have never danced on mushrooms but I have heard of it.

[Americanized2]

awesome

[atethnekos]

What's the relationship b/w Petrarch and Dido? I know Petrarch wrote something about Virgil's portrayal of Dido in the Aeneid, but is there anything else? Also was she particulary weepy in that work, or in others? Not that I think Barnes here has the meaning of words as the supreme standard for why he chooses them...

[redxherring]

In the Aeneid, Dido becomes depressed and somewhat hysterical after Aeneas, her lover, decides to abandon her. She kills herself afterwards. I don't know anything about a portrayal of Dido by Petrarch, yet I do know he was known for writing plaintive love poetry.

[hottstuf67]

my bf just cheated on me

[adolethen]

he doesn't deserve you!!!

[tumadren4]

i bet you deserved it!...you did didn't you? come now...

[OCKaotiK]

Shoulda made him a sammich

[wickedjonson]

ahh....sentimentality, doin it the only way Kevin Barnes knows how lol....lol with a quill as weepy as Dido lol....me gusta

[givememymoneybiotch]

oh turds. shut up. this song is the best. and learn to spell.

[Regimond]

omg!! There's a new band called Of Toronto that is sooo much more xtreme...totally check em

[AWM05]

This reminds me of the Muppet Babies Theme Song at around the end.

[AWM05]

Hey, I'm not saying it's a bad thing or anything!.

[fluorophoric]

This video is so great.

[mewa54]

I love this song!!

[chungdha]

My fav part is : The R and R is Bleeding oh oh oh.

[WaffleconeMayhem]

It's "The auria is bleeding"

Which is followed up by only the one oh as well.

[bundangbear]

It always feels like OM lyrics apply so much to my life. All good artists should have this appeal, but OM really gets in my brain.

[helisto]

WHAT THE HELL that song well no afence um cind of SUCKS

[mokkshaa]

Huh? Speak proper English please. What really SUCKS is your grammar.

[BanjoNaps]

He should be crucified for his spelling!

[GeorgiaJuiceBox]

This song is awsome. You know what does suck? YOUR SPELLING!

[MusicIsMyEverythingg]

What You Said... -"WHAT THE HELL that song well no afence um cind of SUCKS"

What you meant!- "HEY GUYS THIS SONG IS FRICKEN RAD! LETS ALL LISTEN AGAIN!"

[RasputinaMan]

See that's what I thought he meant, but his spelling of "let's listen" was a little off... I was SO confused!

I mean WHAT THE HELLL NO AFENCE BUT I WAS SOH KENFUZED!! THENKS FER DAT

[rtoles83]

@MusicIsMyEverythingg

[ConderGott]

miauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Cojir0]

aww it skips the first part of the song when they are going "ba ba ba ba". Thats like my favorite part.

[donnk]

i think if you play the video on full screen it will give u seizures..but great song!

[sohailio11]

i too was once an evil tenor...

[Slevin689]

good song. good band. bad video.

[kalsikum]

the video is kinda cute

[kirk1a2b3c]

are videos the reason to make a song? come on now.

[maldekai]

what a shitty video. you'd think they'd apply the same effort to their videos as they did their music. damn

[XxShadicxX]

God, this video makes my head hurt. I love this song though.

[XxShadicxX]

Thumbs down for that? How can you say that the random white flashes don't give you a headache? :(

[DasKapital]

probably one of the best songs off sunlandic twin.

[redxherring]

Alabee may be his daughter, but this video makes me think acid...

Great song.

[orsino2]

Their stuff makes me think of E.

Acid is more like Flaming Lips, to me...

[slushh]

E + Of Montreal show = amazingness. They also happened to open with this song. It was momentous.

[Syst3m04]

I know exactly what you mean, but personally I prefer acid. This vid is so amazing when your tripping but it's nothing compared to interstella 5555 by Daft Punk. Of Montreal rocks though absolutely love em.

[broagan]

lol i prefer to be in a nature setting when tripping listeing to musixc

[suesuemagoo]

I don't understand this. It must be evil.

Now, being serious, I love this song. And this video. And Of Montreal. And yeah.

[philriedman]

"If you can't understand something then it's best to be afraid"

[AikaGranzchesta]

Who said that one?

[commii]

this coming from someone who just insulted millions of people who love this band to death

[commii]

its amazing you obviously are a moron maybe you should just die.

[poop12345]

Its amazing you obviously are a dick, maybe you should just, kill yourself?

[marjiew]

i've never been to a gay bar so I wouldn't know what kind of music they'd play..

[blookoko]

Soooo gay bar music...

[orangefettishes]

gay bar music? not in any gay bar i've ever been in. but maybe gay bars should get a dose of whatever of montreal are taking...

[itsfrebo]

gay bar...

well

i like some of their stuff

but:

I'd be much more inclined to see them in concert if they didnt do covers of Fuck the Pain Away...that's a terrible song...and they're kinda gay...so i guess i know why oyu say gay bar music...but not the music...they are gay bar material, their music is actually good usually

[blookoko]

Yeah, I love the song Wrath Pined To The Mist.

This song just sounds like something they would play in a gay bar...

[poop12345]

Yeah, everyone loves that song cus it's so fucking simple! Simple minded people can listen to it because its not so conplexed, like this masterpeice.

[sohailio11]

hey now, gay bars own!

[blahbIah]

theyre like so amazing and stuff, but why are they so random... awsome song tho thx

[zisel]

outback didn't even use So Begins Our Albee

[zisel]

a rip? How can the original be a rip of the take off?

[jonff123456]

what the hell? I thought this was an Outback commercial. What a rip.

[blookoko]

your thinking of Wrath pinned to the mist

[rhagewood1]

Damb this shit jammms!!! :)

[katk2604]

this is HANDS DOWN my favorite of montreal son thanks)

[Tedleo875]

You guys are off the mark. This is the best song on Sunlandic Twins and it's the best video, too. I guess you have to be patient. It really grows on you. It really grooves on you.

[RedRibbon17]

I still can't believe they chose this song over "The Party's Crashing Us" for a music video.

[Direness]

Yeah, this has some nice drive to it, but it doesn't move me as much as "The Party's Crashing Us".

[crazyat8]

I was once into the homosexual parade, but I'm not sure how I feel about this. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Julius Tre and I do my best to do the things I do. I do my best and I am not sure how I feel about this. I really do love you all and I wish everyone a very happy holiday. Love, Julius Tre

P.S. Cross your fingers for the sunshine

[haquearsh1]

freakin sweet

[jecom76]

best song ever

[outlawdking]

woooooaaaaa. Crazy vid thanx for posting! that was so cool, i love them

[imringolovemee]

hahaha awsmlb79 hilarious.

[awsmlb79]

Thanks! Of Montreal, is like Musical Sunshine...for my ears!

[awsmlb79]

Fuck, I love Of Montral, I wish they would marry me and we could all live happily ever after in a magically enchanted forest surrounded by beautiful white and blue clouded skies filled with rainbows and doe eyed deer and unicorns, and live happily ever after,fuck, oh god please let my dream come true!!????

[Grar90210]

this video has many random flashes. it annoys me. but the song wuz cool

[sohailio11]

really? i love herpes!

[keepjoy]

I love you, Of Montreal.

[DrMurderbomb]

I intend to marry Kevin Barnes.

I'll find a way.

[ssstephenssskates]

beach boys sounding vocals in the background.

[fermatahearteddie]

this is my fave of montreal song!!

[harrisoncrabfeathers]

This song, "So Begins Our Alabee" is about the singer's child, Alabee. If you listen to the lyrics, "so begins our Odyssey" and "the chrysalis is breaking," it sort of makes sense.

[shitonmyflower]

hah this video is prettyy amazing.... but not as amazing as OF MONTREL !! :)

[CastlevaniaMoogle]

Thish ish a gewd shong. I lahk it.

[LammyDawg]

Ok, so I'm wrong. The song is called So Begins our Alabee. Anyone know what that means?

[ianbobian23]

only everyone knows what that means nothing~ofmontrealisgreat

[tshen2]

Alabee is his daughter's name. All this "You're my mousy asthete, you're my bouyant cherub" stuff is about her.

[evilcornflake]

Yeah, it's Odyssey :P

[LammyDawg]

Where did you get "alabee" from? It's Odyssey, is it not?

Good video though.

[CrashHell]

these guys are gay

[dawndavenport]

no, rob halford is gay

[dustBunnydragon]

I love their sound <33

[LeaptheDips]

What the heck rockstarkerry? What are you on? They're from Athens, Georgia.

[michio]

ALABAMA?!? o__o... that's the last place i thought they were from, lol...i figured...England or something..haha

what a random place ^^;

i love their videos theyre so colorful, and unique ^-^

[TheHumanComa]

This guys are amazing live, I saw them in Montreal.

[slushh]

Contrary to their name, Of Montreal are from Athens, Georgia.

[rockstarkerry]

They're actually from Athens, Alabama...check out their myspace page.

[pinkfishieee]

um, athens is in georgia...

[MagmaFox]

You know, they do have some good weed in Canada.

[popoteusa]

Sound like NEW ORDER, nothing special with this band, but still cool once in a while...

[cigarettesandsoymilk]
