i was making a reference to ugly, closed-minded nerds. |

it's a good thing they have absolutely nothing to do with each other, then. also note that tolstoyed isn't a 'victim' of whatever 'cool factor' you guys think this album has and are desperately afraid of. |
||||||||
|

...the plot thickens |

well, they both got high marks on pitchfork didn't they :) which ofcourse doesn't mean anything. i haven't heard/read about this album anywhere except xltronic and that review on pitchfork. and personally i wouldn't care if they're bigger than u2..it's still the kind of music i like :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I wonder if anyone here scours the music media trying to decide whether the stuff they like is "cool" or not, so they can alter their opinions accordingly. I kind of doubt it. Also, i haven't heard this record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know that most of the people on xltronic despise indie music in general, despite it being the most varied selection of music available. |
||||||||
|

You are fucking insane. |

i'm also just having some fun with dennis who is having some fun with me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i would agree with you entirely....im not really suggesting its like that at all.... its just when these bands get elevated in a way. my thoughts on this have much more todo with what i hear people saying in real life then any of the media attention that they have gotten. |

i heard about the arcade fire through a friend who didn't like half of the album. i loved it all on first listen, and then each and every succeeding listen, and didn't even know about the 'hype train' until i popped onto the internet for a looksee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I kind of guessed but Still. |
||||||||

sorry, i really dont want to sound like you have to defend yourself or anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give me a break trust me, give it 6 months, the hype will be over and you, even you, wont care any longer. they will fade from hip cafe conversations and stereo systems and they will have to do things like fake thier own death to get thier silly listeners talking about them again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and i stand by that. of course im assuming you are like everyone else i know of whos really into the arcade fire right now, but thats how it works. i still dont want you to think that you need to defend yourself to my by trying to convince me that you came accross them rather innocently rather then through any sort of hype over them. btw to the link the unicorns page was relevant at the time because they had a message saying something like "the unicorns are dead, R.I.P.", it has since changed |

They are playing here in a few weeks. An I got comp tickets, w00t! |
||||||||

i don't listen to emotional music to be cool. i listen to it so i can weep in the dark while dancing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why cant some people just like them and others not, like any other fucking band? i happen to prefer most of their stuff to the other shit out there at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like this record. this has made Fabien vomit squarely into my face. INTO MY FACE. and I still stand by it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i could never listen to this band whoever they are. the name conjours up too sad a picture, i just see all those lovely fruit machines melting with my money in side them. |
||||||||
|

|
|
'Funeral' is fucking great. I absolutely love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I adore their single where they're marching to the cemetary. Simply great music. |
||||||||

pop music works in mysterious ways... no one needs to justify why they like one thing and dislike another... i certainly wouldn't look down on anyone for liking this album at all... i'd look down on you if you were clearly a pathetic fashionista though... |
||||||||
|

|
|
... fortunately for me, they played brantford ontario at the ford plant. hehe tim has some juicy boot-legs completely unavailable to anyone, rendering them completely useless. |
||||||||

I've been listenign to funeral recently. I really love 'em. Sounds like what rock music might sound like if it was being made in the 1800's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES. |

Best (forgotten) band of last year. |

There is no excuse for their brand of pathetic, overly-emotional faggotry. Plus the singer is going bald but still feels the need to have some sort of stupid myspace combover. Sigur Ros are kinda gay, but at least they tone down the cheese by the virtue you can't understand what he's actually singing about, and they have at least some originality. This music sounds like it was made by a bunch of annoying "sensitive" far-too-enthusiastic rich-kid American exchange students who like to talk about their feelings and how much they hate George W. Bush (for the millionth time). |

They're Canadian, you guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's the bleedin' difference? Canada is just a crappy socialist version of the USA anyway. America Lite, sponsered by: The Fuckin' Government. |
||||||||
|

hahaha people are funny. give it 6 months, you are gonna like it I say. i dl this some time ago, completly forgot about it gave it a couple of listens, then i listened and fell in love. great band. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bunch of fucking tit bags |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Actually, they are American and moved to Canaduh. I agree they are probably all those things, but I still like there music. There is just WAY more whiny college liberal birth control glasses wearing nerdy groups that suck major donkey dick that should get picked on way more than arcade fire. And frankly, sigur ros' vocals are heeps more annoying. Atleast arcades vocals are panned way in the back. Instead of that whale mating voice in Sigur Ros. Sigor Ros. That sounds like boxed white wine. |

I like some songs but they are not that good imo. |

Funeral is nice. |

Funeral is great, whether Pitchfork and the indie blog machine likes them or not |

the new album only has like one good song on it. :( sure hope it grows on me since i splurged and payed the extra loonie for the special edition. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I like the new one a lot. on a side note, the other day i was listening to some 80s songs (an xltronic selection ofr 80s party music) and I noticed one that sounded exactly like arcade fire, i forgot which band but i'll find it and report later. |
||||||||

i work with someone who said eurotrip was good and from that day fourth he was stripped of his right to have an opinion. now we chase him round the building trying to lick his little baldy head. true story. |

As the snow tapped effortlessly in a very forced manner against his window, in the usual fashion, ProngBeetle threw haphazardly his Beta-Bear in a perfectly calculated arc across his sleeping quarters, whilst raising a wry eyebrow, black brow hair arching to meet peppered receeding mane crest, his pen instincticvly was taken up and she began to jot down furiously very calmly a lot of words rapidly very slowly. 10 minutes passed in the familiar way and lo, Lotty had prepared 35,000 words, (s)he'd intended to critique, auto-erotically, the Arcade Fire album, but had only so far managed to mange managing to write about how he'd picked up a writing pen, in his hands, and how she'd began the whole charade of writing. Still the snow, white black sparked wetly against the crystaline hard wetness of his opaque window, and she wondered to himself if anything would ever be worth not writing down again. |

on second listen it's better than i thought. my fault for going into the album expecting it to be as insanely catchy as funeral. intervention is still the best song, though. |
