*dies just a little*

(in a very good way)

On a positive note, I could not be any more excited about this little event.

On a worrying note, I see Sarah is not in that promo picture.

I hope it doesn't mean anything

 

[nielsgov]

Great news.

Maybe she was just busy with her other project?

SO excited for this. I just watched an AF dvd from '05 yesterday evening.

This is shaping up to be an awesome year for music

 

[LyricalDrug]

Albums from M.I.A., Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, plus U2 on tour, all during the same year...

 

[U2isthebest]

FINALLY! I can't wait.

 

[Pop Artist]

I've been waiting with much anticipation for their new album! Bummed I can't make any of these scattered festivals that they're playing, I know they will make it to NYC but I just hope it's sooner than later.

Brief snippets of the two songs on the single are available at http://www.arcadefire.com/

They sound great, from what little you can hear.....

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

It's about time!

 

[corianderstem]

Okay, all I heard was 3 seconds of music on the one song, and a scratchy-vinyl sound on the other.

That's just mean.

 

[VintagePunk]

Are you clicking the arrow to the left of the titles? Not on the record graphic, but under it.

That made me anxious to hear more.

 

[bono_man]

How cool!

 

[corianderstem]

Ohhhh! I'll try again - I thought the only clickable thing on the page was the record.

From the tiny bits, I think I'm more interested in Month of May.

I thought so. Because I did the same thing at first. I found out about it via Twitter, and I was all "wow, that was rather disappointing, hardly worth tweeting about."

Month of May - Check Out: Arcade Fire – “The Suburbs” & “Month of May” ? Consequence of Sound

 

[tjames921]

Sorry double post

 

[phanan]

On first listen, I like Month Of May better, and supposedly that's the B-side.

 

[UberBeaver]

I like Month of May better. Kinda of a punk vibe going on there.

 

[corianderstem]

The Suburbs is okay ... seems very skippy for an Arcade Fire song. I can't hear Month of May yet, as it's buffering and buffering.

Edit: I checked out the other link.

Yeah, on first listen, I like Month of May better.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wow. Did this band learn how to have fun? Did Obama really make them happy? Or maybe they're finally getting laid?

Really, really enjoyed both of these tracks on first listen. If this is the vibe for the rest of the album, I'll most certainly like it better than Neon Bible, which sounded like it was recorded in a dark boiler room by a bunch of sad people. Which is not a bad thing, it's just I think I like the exuberant stuff more from these guys.

 

[bollox]

Really digging both of them, Month of May a bit more than Suburbs. Album please!

 

[PhilsFan]

They're saying it's a double A-side.

Man, "Month of May" has some heavy lyrics:

I wanna see your bum, I don’t care what you say
No I don’t have feelings cause feelings are gay
Something something in the month of May
Bitches love my penis cause it’s really big

MC Vagina is in Arcade Fire now?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That song is the worst.

I haven't heard them yet, they're still buffering for me, but from the small clip I heard on the website last week, it screamed "The Ramones" to me. Which is a very good thing.
