Of Montreal Appear in New TV Advertisement

Of Montreal are participating in a new tv advertising campaign; this time shilling for T-Mobile:



The spot seems pretty harmless, although I'm not sure that anybody will know who the band is or why they are trying to sell them mobile devices. At least its not as annoying as those Outback commercials.

Also, Barnes is taking this opportunity to strike out against those that might call his advertising work "selling out". From his rant on Stereogum:

"The pseudo-nihilistic punk rockers of the 70's created an impossible code in which no one can actually live by. It's such garbage. The idea that anyone who attempts to do anything commercial is a sell out is completely out of touch with reality. The punk rock manifesto is one of anarchy and intolerance. The punk rockers polluted our minds. They offered a solution that had no future."

Actually, I think he might have a point. Leave your thoughts in the comments section.
