YouTube - ARCADE FIRE HIPSTER ATTACK

Terrible.

If you're going to go to those lengths to make a joke, be informed. Bieber wasn't nominated for Album of the Year.

corianderstem · 02-17-2011, 07:10 PM

Although in principle, I do agree with GAF on their factual error.

BoMac · 02-17-2011, 07:10 PM

That's what I thought!

cobl04 · 02-17-2011, 07:13 PM

I laughed the first time he got punched. Didn't see it coming.

And I think mentioning Bieber even though he wasn't nominated was part of the joke.

That's probably true, too, because if you look at that Tumblr site, half the posts were incredulous about Bieber's loss.

Maybe. I still think the video is pretty lame. That's just me, though.

I first heard Arcade Fire when someone sent me the link to the We Used To Wait interactive video. I love it.

Just this week, I bought The Suburbs for $5 on Amazon download. My faves are We Used To Wait, Modern Man and Month Of May. The songs I like best have ELO quality to them, like ELO Meets U2 or something.

Fucking Coachella.

Imperor · 02-19-2011, 02:59 AM

Awesome, I get to pretend to like them in person on May 3. I had a feeling that appearance at Jazzfest would mean Texas dates.

u2popmofo · 02-19-2011, 03:09 AM

If you go to Dallas to see them play with Okk Riv, I will be jealous.

I'm excited they're actually coming to my city of residence. I was in Cobbler's filthy country the last time they came through and had to give my tickets up.

Imperor · 02-19-2011, 03:15 AM

Suppose I could since it falls on a weekend, but it'd be so much easier to just stay put and see them with EITS. I'll be seeing THE OKK! several times during SXSW anyway. Explanibrag.

Looks like the "world tour" does not include Australia. Pricks.

Dalton · 02-19-2011, 03:01 PM

I'm going to the Denver show and one of the Chicago shows. With who? With the National. Yea.

u2popmofo · 02-19-2011, 03:16 PM

Very cool, Dalton

All the openers / double bills are stellar, I'm excited to see Local Natives.

bollox · 02-19-2011, 03:20 PM

Wow, they know how to pick openers. Still hoping they add east coast dates, but they covered it pretty well last year; nice to see flyover country get some love.
