I love Of Montreal because when you're cleaning your house, and it is freezing outside, and you have to go to work later, but you really just want to dance around in your underwear with your significant other, then you listen to Of Montreal.

i like Of Montreal because they remind me of this one time my friends and i drove in and out of a closed carwash for the entire duration of the song "partys crashing us now." driving in circles, in and out. and then back in again. windows down. screaming as loud as we could.
also because my friend john is their biggest fan ever and would flip out if i could get this for him. which i think is a beautiful reason.

I saw Of Montreal in concert and Kevin mock-proposed to my friend standing next to me because her arms are longer than mine and she got her hand in his face faster.

Has anyone else heard the Outback Steakhouse commercial with their song "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games?" It's reworded to be about Outback and well, it almost made me puke when I heard it.

I love Of Montreal because one day I was thinking about what it would be like to have a carnival band play songs in my head about whatever ideas happened to be floating around at the time. The songs would make me happy and I would dance and sing out loud with no regard for who was watching me, because I intended to share the elation. They would be pop songs that rode sugar rollercoasters and forged lazy rivers made of cotton candy.
Then I bought 'Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies' and I thought someone had heard my thoughts and made an album to represent the imaginary world and I shed a tear of joy.

I have never seen the movie.. Or been to the city for that matter. (I have a fondness for Montreal though, because people from that city can open a bottle with anything. Even say, an eyeglass screwdriver.)
I do, however, love me some Of Montreal. I won't lie: Cherry Peel is my favorite Of Montreal release. If there was a soundtrack to my mind, it would be that album. Every track, every lyric, every note on Cherry Peel is utterly genius. Of Montreal led me to other fantastic (twee pop) bands. EX: Without Of Montreal in my life, I would never have discovered Tullycraft. (And without Tullycraft, I would never have gotten a "I killed for Tullycraft" button. Which would have been a gd shame.) Of Montreal is what the kids call "a life enhancer."

I like Of Montreal partly because their music reminds me that pop/rock didn't totally turn to complete crap after 1998, partly because they parlay the whole indie-rock trip into an actual artistic expression, but mostly because of Barnes' hat.

I love them because they will always make me think of all the summers I've spent sitting on porches drinking coke and talking till 3:00 in the morning.
Also, I went to a show a few years ago and bought Satanic Panic from the band afterwards. They were keeping the cds in a black garbage bag and I for some reason I couldn't bring myself to say "I love you" when I had the chance. I will always regret that.

That is why I love Of Montreal.
