I MENTIONED OF MONTREAL IN HEIMDALSGATE [VIDEO REVIEW]
I mentioned that Of Montreal has a brand new album that is just leaking all over the internet. The leak’s not a bad thing it’s a good thing. Everyone loves it! The name is Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? The so-called-single is “Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse” and it now officially has a music video. The only problem is that this video is the worst parts of the 60’s all rolled into one. It is everything awful in the protein hippie synthesis video. However, the song is quite good. The only problem is that the video cheapens the song by making the concept of the album completely explicit in the irony of the video, destroying the fragile layer of belief suspension that allows you to listen to the intensely personal ravings of Kevin Barnes and come out the other side seeing the beauty. The introversion of the album is painted with a silliness that is the hallmark [of] Of Montreal and the what strings it all together is the belief that underneath it all Barnes really means it and isn’t just taking us all for a ride. There is a small hope that artistically the album is not just glam-rock doused with feelings and that it is really feelings dusted with glam. The video would work with something more pat and disposable as an ironic statement but in the context of Hissing Fauna it falls far short of what it could be. That being said, it is still fun and maybe that is the weird beauty [of] Of Montreal. You can’t completely love or hate it and there is a certain art in that. Well, take a peek and enjoy the music even if it means blocking the visual.
Any less absurd and I would think this was the worst video ever created, but I may be in the minority on this one.
It is really close to worst ever but did you take a look at the hippie protein synthesis video?!
your caretaking of wikipedia sucks. if you want to contribute then post more info, not less. you are only in it to protect keith. you are dispicable but then again thats a good way to emulate keith, so i guess your proud of yourself.
oh, and you like all computer OS’s besides microsoft? dead giveaway you hate america, are socialist, and are very immature.
Hi welcome to vdov.net. Never thought I would see the day that someone would find their way here to take issue with my wikipedia edits. Let alone insinuate I was a flack for Keith Olbermann.
As a point of clarification:
My edits to wikipedia are largely focused on controversial living people on both sides of the political spectrum. For example Ann Coulter, Nancy Pelosi, Rush Limbaugh, Barack Obama, Keith Olbermann, Matt Drudge, etc… To date I have been accused of being a partisan for Drudge, Pelosi, Limbaugh, and now Olbermann. I get a kick out of every time someone accuses me of making edits supporting these figures.
I can’t remember specifically what edit you are referring to but I think it was the long one with only one citation that was mostly unverified opinion. I could be wrong. If you want to discuss it I suggest the talk page on the article in question.
Feel free to browse the site here. You might like some of the stuff. Sorry to say but the gallery is still down or else you could also take a gander at some fine photography. If you want some good reading this review might be up your alley. Enjoy.
