Of Montreal's T-Mobile Ad: Cell Phone Companies Now Pandering To The Blog Demo

When Of Montreal's ad for T-Mobile came on during last night's American Music Awards, my initial reaction was along the lines of, "What music-blogger hell did this crawl out of?" And it still stands. I mean, reunion-show jokes? Band meetings that are conducted in fancy-ass hotel rooms while Kevin Barnes and Co. are in full stage makeup? I'm going to hazard a guess that most of the Daughtry fans watching the show didn't realize that Of Montreal is, you know, an actual working band with records out, especially with the feather-flying celebration at the ad's end.

There will be countless camera-phone depictions of Rudd's handsome, handsome vocals all over YouTube today, but this one is the most complete; you can see other performers here, here and here, though watching them all in a row will likely induce vertigo.

Of Montreal Flips The Script And, Apparently, Its Lid

But what caught our eye was a description of the band's newest bit of merch: More »
