Yeah. Sometimes this stuff is just true. Of Montreal live is horrendous overly theatrics-reliant bullshit.

Of Montreal is one of the best live bands in the world.

Because they aren't as good on album.

so what you are saying is that they don't practice/rehearse before they record?  The songs suddenly become better live?

Some bands are better live for whatever reason.  Flaming Lips are better live as well.  And Scissor Sisters.  Other bands are awful live like Radiohead.

It sounds as if Azag is more focused on the aural quality of the show, whereas perhaps Atomic is more focused on the visual part of the show. Would they be fair to say?

And they've been milking the same set for close to a decade now too.

Their records have actually gotten really good though.

saw Flaming Lips twice..once at the Black Cat which was a bizzaroo show where they had like 50 tape decks and called people from audience and gave them a tape deck and then Wayne played orchestra leader or something flapping his arms for people to push play on their deck or push stop....that was a weird show but somewhat interesting..

The second time was like 2003 or something at the club...the one with the costumes and bubbles and all that stuff... was pretty bored by the end... the emphasis was not on the music...no interest in seeing them again...

i am gay and i like cats
