Jeff Mangum's first live appearance in ages and that totally batshit insane Diesel party sure looked nifty, but the award for biggest spectacle in New York City this past weekend should probably go to Of Montreal, who hit up Roseland Ballroom Friday night in support of upcoming disc/sticker set/tote bag/etc Skeletal Lamping.

At this point, Of Montreal's live thing has evolved into something the term "rock show" couldn't hope to sum up, and indeed something this paragraph couldn't possibly contain. Photos do words one better in this case, however, and there are plenty of those for your perusal below.

And Love Is All are a great band, but I'd be amazed if anyone remembered a thing about their opening set after the variety show on acid that followed.

In other news from Of Montreal, the band should be playing an acoustic in-store at Rough Trade East in London right about now, NPR is currently streaming an October 9 performance from Washington, DC right here, and Skeletal Lamping is due on shelves October 21.
