So now apparently meeting Kevin Barnes is as big a deal as meeting Charlize Theron, Matt Damon, and Jamie Foxx? (I don't know, maybe it should be. I mean, Jon Stewart was right, Theron really does "hag it up" for Oscars, doesn't she?) Thanks to forkrepublicans at the Townhall for bringing to our attention this fan-conducted interview with Kevin, at mtvU.com.

Dottie says here you should never ask a band where its name comes from, but in case you don't know and you're curious, it's the first thing we get on NPR's interview with Of Montreal (from last year). The NPR interview isn't that good, but at least they're respectful enough to actually play the band's music during the interview. (Though you gotta love mtvU's generic MTV background music, to which the squirming band seems to be reacting.)
