And that’s partly what makes this week’s Diversion…

Go ahead and admit it: at one point in your life, you were in to the sunny sounds of legendary reggae act Slightly Stoopid. It’s okay, we all were at some point. After all, this is the band that came out with “2 AM”, a track still considered by many reggae authorities (reggologists?) to be…

[Preview] Of Montreal w/ Wild Moccasins | Mercy Lounge | Tonight
•
From a writer’s perspective, Of Montreal is bit of a doozy to adequately describe. Their upbeat tunes are undeniably catchy and overly dancariffic, but at the same time, Of Montreal is like absolutely nothing you’ve ever heard before. In fact, Of Montreal so much breaks the mold that us writers are forced to invent silly adjectives…
