Of Montreal - the Gay Parade

In late 2001, early 2002 I went through a tough, tough break up. It was not a good time for me. Of Montreal's The Gay Parade was one of the two albums that helped me get through it. This record is full of fun and little stories to escape into, exactly what I needed when the feelings of an 8 year relationship was dissolving around me. I've sort of fallen off the Of Montreal bandwagon since they went disco a few years ago... but the Gay Parade is one of the most treasured albums in my collection. It brings a smile to my face each time I listen to it.
