I Was Never Young and Wraith Pinned to the Mist are both excellent tracks.

I'm pretty sure I uploaded 'Hissing Fauna' several pages back...it was probably my favorite release of 2007.
Cherry Peel is cool too, way different sound and style though.

Grandaddy - Under The Western Freeway
not my favorite album cover in the world, but the music itself is pretty amazing. Excellent power-pop by way of distorted crunchy guitars, bleepy keyboards, and other endless forms of experimental awesomeness. Comparable to some of Pavement's work and at times also sounding reminiscent of The Flaming Lips (and Jason Lytle's voice can sound remarkably similar to Wayne Coyne's). If you consider yourself even the slightest fan of 'indie' music then please do yourself a favor and check out Grandaddy. They are a phenomenally unique band.

Grandaddy is great. It's a shame they called it quits.

Hear is my vinyl rip of Steven Malkmus and the Jicks (Steven was the front man for Pavement) "Face The Truth."
There are two seconds shaved off of the front of the first song, so my apologies, but the album is great! Your description of grandaddy reminded me of this album, so I thought I should dig it out.
If you like grandaddy, there is a good bet you'll dig Steven Malkmus and the Jicks.
moop.

Real Emotional Trash is great stuff. I love how jammy it is, how he just shamelessly mutilates his guitar.

yeah, i rather like it. the distorted, long-winded jam-outs remind me of his pavement days, of which i'm quite fond.
oh oh, and on a somewhat unrelated note, a woman i've slept with has been in the past on a first name basis with stephen malkmus. she had dinner with his wife just this summer. that almost makes me feel cool by association.

VHS of Beta:
Daft Punk Meets Depeche Mode. Nuff Said, they are fucking rad! Pop/punk/electro sweetness never tasted better.

I don't know why everybody's so into Of Montreal. Maybe I'm just a weirdo. Or too normal.

Yume Bitsu - Yume Bitsu
If you cloned several of Built To Spill's frontman doug martsch, dosed them all with pure mdma and put them before a room full of electric guitars, amps, and a plethora of various effects pedals, the result just might sound similar to Yume Bitsu's.
An awesome indie/psych/prog rock band from the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. This is their second (and my favorite) album, from 1999. If you like cathartic 'build-up/release' types of modern prog rock, such as Mogwai and Explosions In the Sky, then you'll probably love these guys. Their sound is a bit more organic feeling than both of those bands imo, and they're probably my second favorite current prog-rock band behind Godspeed You Black Emperor! (those guys are just in a league of their own) In fact if anybody here still hasn't heard 'Godspeed' then please let me know, as I'd be happy to upload it for you.
btw: don't be fooled by this album cover, their blissful music induces a mood quite opposite of an overcast sky.
peace...

Well, when I first heard them with Sunlandic Twins I loved them, Then Satanic Panic in the Attic I loved them even more... But besides those two albums I don't like the other stuff much (but I haven't had time to let the early stuff sink in yet, but Hissing Fauna I don't really like much.)
For me its a combination of just plain FUN music with fun sing-along style vocals about silly/whimsical things in life, while including some very lovely very desperate songs as well...
In my life its the silly/whimsical that rules, so thats why I like them so much. I want music I can sing a long to and not have to care about that fact that the singer may be a republican. I want Fantasy. I want metaphors that touch your life in ways the writer never intended. Thats why I love Of Montreal.
peace!

Would anyone like to upload some earlier of montreal?
I can listen to Satanic Panic in my fiancees car and in her car only, and frankly, it bums me out.
Maybe Satanic Twins the remix album? Now I just sound like Im begging 
boo!
This is the first time I've heard of that album, have you heard it before? I'd like to hear it too, but I think it might only be available on vinyl, I bet someone ripped it.
But as for your request for older of Montreal here's their best old CD in my opinion. This is before they went super electronic.

of Montreal - Cherry Peel
Also here's their best CD in my opinion: Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? This CD is what electronic/dance/pop is about. Incredible.

of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
And here's the Sunlandic Twins Bonus EP, it's got songs that are much more similar to their old stuff like on Cherry Peel.
of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins [Bonus EP]
Yeah Im itching to find that remix album.
and thank you for all teh of monteal fellas! I have two of the songs from Satanic Twins, but alas its only enough to make me crave the rest.
here they are.
