Who Exactly is Listening to Of Montreal?new

Sarah Silverman, Devastatingly Cute and Vice Versanew
In the first two second season episodes, Silverman's character takes a joyful trip down memory lane reliving her past abortions, sympathizes with a guy who had to give up crack and rigorously defends her right to lick a dog's anus. It's sick, stupid, brilliant and the bravest sitcom on TV.

'Cease' is High-Water Mark of Contemporary Yacht Rocknew
At some point, Band of Horses must've realized that being the poor man's My Morning Jacket wasn't going to keep them in flannel, so they've softened their approach, strengthened the melodic component of their compositions, tightened up the harmonies and cranked up the repetition of catchphrases.
