Breaking: Love Is All

Who: Heavy Swedish pop outfit fronted by manic 34-year-old singer Josephine Olausson, a fierce frontlady who has a fan in Karen O. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer likes the band so much it inspired her song “All is Love” on the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack. Sounds Like: The band’s insanely catchy new disc Two Thousand and Ten Injuries combines the sound of early Nineties grrrl-punk acts bands like Huggy Bear and Bikini Kill with warm Sixties pop harmonies. “Kungen” borrows from the Turtles “

Of Montreal Attracts Football Players, Glam Fans in D.C.

Photo courtesy of Nestor Diaz/DCist.com Live shows are a much better fit for Of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes’ ambitions. On record, it can seem like he’s determined to re-create the high points of glam rock using just a drum machine, some zithers, and a selection of powered yard-care tools. And while Of Montreal’s stage set is unmistakably homemade, it’s a platform for Pink Floyd-sized (or at least GWAR-sized) aspirations.

He wore those (and little else save for a gold high-waisted, Capt.

Set List: “Id Engager” “So Begins Our Alabee” “Triphallus, To Punctuate!” “She’s a Rejecter” “For Our Elegant Caste” “Touched Something’s Hollow” “An Eluardian Instance” “Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse” “Gallery Piece” “Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)” “Women’s Studies Victims” “St. Exquisite’s Confessions” “Eros’ Entropic Tundra” “Nonpareil of Favor” “October is
