Arcade Fire 2: Arcade Harder - Page 19

I don't think they're at their best on the TV performances I've seen. SNL? Eh. I didn't think Regine sounded that great, and they seemed a bit off. Ditto the Grammys - just not as good as their usual live shows.

Nope. I stuck my head out and claimed it my favorite a few weeks after it came out, and I most definitely still feel that way. The only song I wouldn't mind not being on there is Deep Blue, and even that isn't that bad.

Ready To Start sounded good - they should have done that first and then an off the cuff Month Of May to end it (and with those background vocals mixed down a bit).

But it's close. There are a couple tracks on each album I'm not a fan of.

Maybe he just has shitty taste...

Arcade Fire Stole My Basketball: Win Butler needs to give my basketball back

PhilsFan · 02-15-2011, 08:29 PM

Someone started a blog a few years ago called "Arcade Fire Stole My Basketball" in order to accuse Win Butler of having stolen his basketball.

Edit: That's the second time Cori has beaten me to the punch today.

Sometimes I start to lose faith in the internetz and then I remember this and I keep on keeping on. Thank you webs. Thank you.

Well, I have to run to choir rehearsal now, so you'll get a chance to beat me to the next explanation that's needed 'round these parts.

Dalton · 02-15-2011, 08:35 PM

Choir practice? It's 9:30.

Nope. It really grinds my gears.

iron yuppie · 02-15-2011, 10:59 PM

For me:

1. Funeral
2. Neon Bible
3. The Suburbs

All, however, are superb albums. I'll say this: We Used to Wait and Sprawl II might be the two best songs of 2010.

Imperor · 02-15-2011, 11:12 PM

Nobody has yet opined that "Sprawl II" is just the redheaded stepchild of their best tune, "Haiti," eh? Well now's the time.

I opine.
