Rothbury 2008: Day 2

By Andrew Leahey at 3:30 PM on July 9, 2008

Rothbury kicked into high gear on Friday, as Jakob Dylan ushered in the afternoon with a set of dusty Americana tunes. Sporting a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses that could've reflected a nuclear blast, Dylan looked like Sheriff Cooley from O Brother, Where Art Thou? while singing in a comfortable, cool baritone. “Let me be the first up here to say ‘Happy 4th of July,’” he said, drawing applause from the crowd of Wallflowers fans and wandering passerby. ...  read more

Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes talks Skeletal Lamping details

By Austin L. Ray at 8:25 AM on March 24, 2008

Paste had a dandy time at SXSW this year. Aside from all the usual, fun nonsense involving new bands, beer, blogging and BBQ, we hosted three day parties with our friends at Stereogum. Closing out our final day was DJ List Christee, better known as Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes. "I intended to do something really cool and come to SXSW and establish myself as this fantastic modern DJ," Barnes told us in an interview immediately following his set. "But then I didn't have time, so I established myself as a completely uninspired loser DJ. But I made up a DJ...  read more

Elephant Six movie to be released next year

By Mark Krotov at 12:00 AM on December 18, 2007

Georgia was good to 2007, and in return, 2007 was good to Georgia. Athens in particular had a pretty great year, and just one of its contributions was Of Montreal’s wonderful Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?, which was jam-packed with 12-minute odes to emotional collapse, ruminations on the dehumanizing characteristics of Norway, and this writer’s favorite lyric of the year (guess which one). No wonder the album cozied up at #31 on Paste’s list. Well, there’s always room for more craziness in Georgia’s biggest little city (sorry, Cartersville), and next year’s release of Major Organ and the Adding Machine...  read more
