Of Montreal Are My New Favorite Band, Perform ‘Day Man’ Live

‘Sweet Dee’s Dating a Retarded Person‘ is possibly the best It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode. The episode features ‘Day Man,’ a modern miracle of musical composition and Of Montreal recently played it live. Thus, I am now a huge Of Montreal fan regardless if I really like them that much.
They have instantly earned my […]

My apologies and thanks to Mr. Cohen for pointing out […]
