Of Montreal Song "Everyday Feels Like Sunday"

Wednesday, November 01, 2006

One of the great Canadian indie rock/pop bands, Of Montreal, is getting renewed airplay for their 2005 song "Everyday Feels Like Sunday," (not to be confused with Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday").

Radiohead's In Rainbows and Ray Davies' Working Man's Cafe
michael showalter by brendan


It's a rare thing when a new album release becomes a classic almost overnight. But in the case of alternative rock icons Radiohead, the 2007-2008 releases of In Rainbows is being hailed as a masterpiece; some even say more so than the landmark releases of The Bends and OK Computer. This time around, Radiohead has drummed up their own multi-layered promotion, distribution and publicity machines thanks in large part to the band's revolutionary and bold move last fall to offer the new release - for a limited time - at a price determined by the consumer.
