of Montreal: Lysergic Bliss

[zah138]

this shit is genius

[alliequinones]

@fingernailization um chill out dude. i love of montreal. it was a JOKE. don't take yourself so seriously.

[phriendlybear]

@alliequinones the sarcasm was impossible to detect without any tone. and yeah, its bad to chew gum while you sing.

[alliequinones]

look at that fuckin' hipster chewing gum while he's singing.

[fingernailization]

@alliequinones really? of montreal was hip before it was hip dummy. theyve been around since late ninties. do your research before you talk shit.

[ohadrean]

@alliequinones -- things hipsters say against hipsters

[desdemondax]

I love his shirt....

[0126clayton]

@desdemondax geminitactics-look her up, nina will sell you one, i agree... they're absolutely awesome. Her style is incredible. one of my favorite artists

[MrDankaholic420]

Dude in the chops is the one and only BP helium,.....brian poole.....was in elf power.....his side burns are bitchen dont hate i grew mine like that once just to look all rock star like his ass thoes shits are dank..........seen them twice in richmond fractured my ankle in the street dancing best band live ever long live georgie fruit

[skatearlyesterday]

who is the faggot with the chops anyways? his voice just irritates me the entire song.

[HHAmmatIMe]

@skatearlyesterday A member of Of Montreal... Youre ignorant.

[skatearlyesterday]

You can download this song and a few other ones off of the Daytrotter Session that Of Montreal did. You have to find it on the daytrotter website, but its totally worth it. Its kind of old, but its all I've been listening to these past couple of days.

[mbodnar420]

@skatearlyesterday

It's not the exact same version... frankly I don't care for the "tongue in cheek" quality of the studio version, which is sort of reflected in the mp3 you reference. It's not bad, but this is by far the best version I've ever heard.

[evilsocksss]

what a lovely, lovely, lovely love song!

[sockerfool12]

hey you in the chops, spit out your gum

[juniwilliams]

@sockerfool12 haha

[ashleenicoletucker]

love love love so freakin' much. <3

i love the acoustic versions of their songs.

this is def. one of my all time favorites.

[TheCrimper]

They are so much better stripped down like this. Skeletal Lamping and False Priest ain't got shit on this.

[mudjunky78]

Who is the guy with the mutton chops?? ahaha. :D

LOVE the acoustic. Love driving to this song!!

[johannstiepanilee]

kevin and the late how are you two this trendy

[madebyrequest]

beautiful. they are beautiful.

[TheLesboKiller]

boring gayness

[biggerrerint]

@TheLesboKiller face

[shhhazzle]

Beautiful

[lakai958]

nice chops

[fadsforwhatever]

the harmonies! ahh, it's lovely.

[SYLBM]

wow, really good. and that dude does look like neil young.

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

BP chewing gum ... heck ya!

[Tuxtun]

F yeah!

[hallospacegirl]

They all seem so blissful. lol

[leetsawcee]

i have those shoes

[MisterLibertarian]

What is the name of that sneaker?

[leetsawcee]

Onitsuka Tigers

[lwest68]

I love Kevin shirt:) I now own 2 David Barnes & Nina Twin print shirts and i bought my 8 year old son one:) The fabric is great:) I feel naked wearing it:) AWESOME!!

[evilmuffingoat]

lysergic is my life source.

[NjHc718]

wow 0:26, Neil Young circa 1970's. Anyone?

[monkeytrees]

I've always thought BP looks like Neil Young.

[Cohenchaotic]

acid BLISS

[Glace077]

@Cohenchaotic Sir, I want to buy you a steak for that comment.

[rwk1983]

@Cohenchaotic no shit

[TrainerOsky]

I third that request

[blattersplatter]

I want the mp3. for this version as well

[lwest68]

There is a free podcast of this:) 3 songs and my ipod is so happy:)

[blattersplatter]

I found a way to get these aol songs another way, but thank you anyways!

[sevendwarforgy]

Mind sending me a link to said podcast? :D

[lwest68]

Go to iTunes Podcasts it is called Spinner's The Interface:) It is interview #104:) Enjoy:)

[TrainerOsky]

So great.

[LeaheyHoo]

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

[leetsawcee]

i have those blue shoes.

[evanisovich]

I can't believe a song that's originally pretty anyway could become more beautiful. :)

[casualgiraffe]

Glad the guy on the right could get some singing done in between his gum chewing

[xcountry1193]

lol yeah it is a little funny looking. he wouldve played guitar too, but they only had one guitar around with them

[crankthetoto]

*chomp chomp

[woodlie]

they yelled at him to get on the black sheet, the guitarist would otherwise do a solo

he retaliates by chewing his gum incessantly

[Jackhoodmusic]

ok so from canada and that guy looks just like neil young.

theres gotta be a common thread here

[violaine1979]

They're not from Canada. They're from Atlanta.

[m3e7l3i3s6a]

They're not from Atlanta. They're from Athens.

[violaine1979]

Peaches and Pecans, it's all the same.

[JoeTheEagle]

But peach is a fruit and pecan is a nut, how can they be the same?

[mrwowlol]

...I think you are BOTH right!

[snipazcamper2]

you can eat both of them? lol

[whinelli]

so are u saying that apple and hamburger are the same... cause u can eat both of them? =P

[snipazcamper2]

yes they are the same. they are both foods. trying to be a smartass?

[TheMarzipanJesus]

I do believe violaine said 'It's all the same' not 'They're the same.' It's to say everything is made from the same stuff, ya'know?

[dave8477781]

im totally going to translate this to the ukulele

[Paintingsinpoem]

Oh man, that is an amazing idea. We should collaborate!

[kimmay1160]

ahh!!!  let me know once you do

[poop12345]

this is emajs, a majs, and b minors in here as far as i can tell.

[evanisovich]

It's mostly Gmaj to Amin :)

[GeorgeGallimore93]

satanic panic in the attic is of montreal finest and this song one of its best and sounds suprisingly good in accoustic aswell

[nopoopallowed]

I LOVE the way Kevin sits in that chair.

And sings that song. It's such a cute song.

[wafflehouseco]

B.P. is awsome

[xXHALOxCHiCKXx]

kevin always look frustrated when he sings :)

haha i love kevin hes so awesome

[landaverde1206]

"whoah. I didn't expect the acoustic version of this to be so awesome."

Isn't thought!! this is the type of song that teaches you to still keep your head up during the grey times.

[soosannahnahlaleeloo]

gahhhhhh

i love you

[hayls22]

lol@ bryan chewing gum

[NLK88]

<3 i love u LOVE MEEEEE L

[lMeanMrMustardl]

I love it.

Listened to it about 20 some times straight.

Fantastic.

[jehuty8]

wow this is so good! i wasnt expecting the acoustic version to sound so good either >.>

[playa2]

"wonder how I'm managing to smile even though I can't pay my rent" (or something I don't remember exactaly)

I know, he looks so happy!!

No, I know he wrote it a long time ago, but still, I think it's ironic.

[pantstanker]

BP is a beast.

[Bigfatphony19]

whoah. I didn't expect the acoustic version of this to be so awesome.

[glassbreaker5791]

well written song. the studio version is amazing.

[jazzyrock12]

i love of montreal no joke. they are awesome and my favorite band.

[juliashaun]

i feel you.

[cherieisamazing]

mine too!

have you read the article about kevin in rolling stone?

[y0mamma0413]

i luv monkey guy

[TheBuickSixes]

Ha Brian Pool. You might like his other band, The Late B.P. Helium.

[themadnice]

I have the mp3 of this, Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse Acoustic and Starman.

I can e-mail it to anyone who wants them, just message me with your address.

of montreal ❤ =]

[monkeytrees]

I would like the mp3 of Lysergic Bliss if you still have it.

[pmshit31]

I have the version of the album (Satanic...) if you still want it

[miyukianime]

great! cant find the freakin ablum ANYWHERE!!!

[kevinm4435]

soulseek

[Camp0s]

rapidshare

[WowItsJimmyD]

your local record store?

[davidgwynne1]

the best album in my opinion was "cherry peel"...i fucking love that record. dead beach boys if i may say so myself.

lovely song, great band! :D Xxx

[miyukianime]

Is "santanic pamic in the attic" any good? thats the one im aming for.

[davidgwynne1]

yeah its my second favourite. this song is from that album.

get cherry peel though i think it may be out of print now.

[mondty]

the early four tracks are my favorite.

[abgcunited11]

me too.

early four tracks then gay parade for me.

[sgalloberklee]

so amazing. in G !? -sounds wonderful.

[53217]

I love seeing them live

[crttop277]

they have great voices, love that in this in video you can really heat that.

[thecharmer]

This is my favorite Of Montreal ditty. I love this acoustic version. Wish they would release this on CD!

[Matt04182]

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the audio tracks for this?

[franciscotoast]

yes.

there are websites that let you convert youtube for mp3. google for it.

[RabbleRowsette]

They did a Daytrotter session once that had a very similar acoustic version of Lysergic Bliss and also some songs from Hissing Fauna are You the Destroyer. Go to Daytrotter dot com and when you get there do a search for of Montreal.

[lagdesang]

extraordinaria!

[octavechords]

sweet vocals on this one

[Fermiimplosive]

Quite kind, thanks for the share mang.

[Lizzy1457]

love it x infinity

[DasKapital]

one of the best songs by of montreal.

[MarciusWhithood]

Satanic Panic in the Attic is easily their best album...which, of course, includes this outstanding song! Great video!

[DasKapital]

I want to say that Sunlandic Twin is their best CD. Too many really amazingly unique well thoguht up songs on one CD. It's crazy how much talent Kevin has. I heard he already has plans for a new CD called Skeletal Lamping.

[MarciusWhithood]

That'd be nice. :) The guy REALLY knows how to write a wonderful pop song.

[DasKapital]

I'm seeing them on Tuesday in detroit. And a local detroit magizine had a small spot about them and they interviewed Bryan Poole. He said Kevin has already written all the songs for the CD and that they are planning to record it all together as a band (instead of kevin doing 90% himself) in January. So prolific.

[bbknux1]

my favorite is Coquelicot

so wacky and it creates this

whole world when you close your eyes

and listen to it.
