Arcade Fire 2: Arcade Harder

[u2popmofo]

Yes, Arcade Fire Are Working With James Murphy | News | Pitchfork

 

[No spoken words]

Well, if any of the songs are 7:00 or longer, we'll know who's responsible.

 

[iron yuppie]

If Murphy for some reason produces this thing, it would probably be the most anticipated indie release in a long while, wouldn't it?

 

[nielsgov]

Post King of Limbs, yes.

 

[cobl04]

I'm sure it would be the point I finally became more than a casual fan.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Radiohead and Arcade Fire are indie? Lol.

 

[IWasBored]

radiohead and arcade fire are indie? Lol.

+1

 

[nielsgov]

They're not strictly indie but I think most people would still call them that, as in popular amongst people who'd call themselves music lovers...

 

[nielsgov]

And come to think of it, Radiohead are indie strictly speaking. They're definitely independent.

 

[iron yuppie]

Radiohead and Arcade Fire are indie? Lol.

Yes they are. They are both on independent labels. It's not a measure of popularity. And even if it were a measure of popularity, Arcade Fire would still be indie. The nonplussed reactions to their Grammy win a few years back are proof enough of that.

 

[phanan]

Radiohead were on a major label for years. The fact that they are on their own now does not classify them as an indie band. That's like saying Poison is indie since they are no longer on a major either.

 

[iron yuppie]

I think there's a difference in the sense that Radiohead elected to be independent. I doubt that was the case for Poison.

 

[lazarus]

Radiohead plays to stadiums internationally. They had heavy rotation on MTV back in the day.

They're not fucking indie no matter how weird their music gets.

 

[Pop Artist]

Probably shouldn't expect a tour this year...

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's going to be a city with at least two children in it, now.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I wonder if the child was conceived in the backseat.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

What's happening here with these two pregnant band members is the opposite of a funeral.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I wonder if Marika's due date is in the month of may?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Looks like Win and Regine were ready to start....a family!

 

[lazarus]

It's a lot safer to raise a family in the suburbs.

Spoiler

Please shoot me.

 

[joyfulgirl]

It depends on the neighborhood.

 

[corianderstem]

Do you think they'll take their own lyrical advice and call the kid Laika?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Post King of Limbs, yes.

Wasn't King of Limbs announced and released in a 24 hour period? Not much to anticipate

Do you know who Laika was?

It was one week, and the excitement during that short period of time was insane for a music release, at least in our little world.

 

[nielsgov]

Isn't Laika about the guy in Into the Wild?

 

[cobl04]

I wonder if they will have to drive through tunnels on the way to the hospital.

Oh, ok. I can't remember that far back.

I always assumed it was a reference to this little fella

Laika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They just fucking left him up there

But she's female. Did you read the Wikipedia article that you linked to or are you just willy-nilly tossing links out and thinking that Soviet space dogs are male when they're really female?
