Arcade Fire, a.k.a. The Reflektors.

Arcade Fire With a Vengeance

Who the fuck are these guys anyway?

 

[BoMac]

I laughed at Childish Gambino's assessment of the song:

If you’re a fan of LCD Soundsystem, you’ll probably like this song. The interactive video made me feel a way I didn’t understand that much, but the alt video was really fly. Could’ve been a murder dream. A pretty one. Also made me watch Peter Gabriel videos.

This thread should have been titled Arcade Fire With A Vengeance.

You were 1 post early, this thread should be locked.

Agreed.

Yeah, but if you keep going in that direction, the titles for threads four and five wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

Live Free Or Arcade Fire?

A Good Day To Arcade Fire?

Canadian slime best be staying away from our historical American mottos.

Is there another link for the Salsatheque show? The soundcloud link is taken down.

No link here, was going to grab it but I was late to the soundcloud link, but apparently, Arcade Fire pissed some fans off at the Salsatheque show.

I feel zero sympathy for then whatsoever.

You show up to a free show at a small venue for a huge band, you know going in that you're going to be very lucky just to get in the door.

The new song is wicked

Review of the salsatheque concert:

1st Reflektor (we all know that one)
2nd (sounds like futuristic REM with nice guitar)
3rd (Billie Jean? Still sounds different enough to be good)
4th (50's guitar rock. Get back Beatles? Pink Floyd disco beat? Sounds like a soundtrack at the end.)
5th (80's soft rock.)
6th (80's synths, similar to OMD. Ok but the least good, though bad sound quality)
7th (80's disco dance beat, Cut Copy style, "after life"?, good melody but I need the record and lyrics to get an assessment of what I think of it)
8th (Latin beat and synths, nice piano hook "here comes the night time". The piano melody sounds nice now but I'm not sure if I'll get annoyed by it later on because it repeats so much. Some of it sounds like The Cure Close to me at the end)

Of the bunch I like Reflektor best but that could be because the sound is so muddy. This is definitely the change I was looking for. Bands should change every 3 albums before boredom sets in.

Did anyone pick up the Reflektor single on vinyl? I saw it at a record shop today for $12. The sleeve design was pretty dope, all shiny and whatnot. But I wasn't gonna put down the scratch without knowing what the B-side was. The sleeve was just a cryptic rendering of the song lyrics. Friggin' Reflektors.

 

[Danny Boy]

I think Impy said the b-side is just an instrumental version of the single.

My local shop ordered one for me. They called today and said it was in, but I won't be able to pick it up until Monday.

BOOOOOOOO.

Still might get it for the shiny artwork.

 

[LemonMelon]

I want an a capella Bowie version.

 

[cobl04]

He probably got paid a million dollars per syllable.

 

[Joey788]

Looks like that whole lack of vinyl in NYC was false. Picked a copy of the single up at Kim's Video and Music in Manhattan. There are still a copy copies left for any New York fans looking for it.

 

[Imperor]

Kim's rules.

 

[No spoken words]

Did you like Kim's better than Sbarro?

 

[u2popmofo]

Bowie in Province > Bowie in this

 

[LMP]

Bowie in Province > Bowie in this

Agreed, though he's featured more in the former.

 

[Imperor]

Did you like Kim's better than Sbarro?

No.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Arcade Fire to air concert special on NBC following Saturday Night Live | Consequence of Sound

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Well, thats not very Indie

 

[BoMac]

They stopped being indie a long time ago.

 

[u2popmofo]

I will watch that concert.

 

[gump]

Why do you pretend to like them?

 

[lazarus]

They're more machine now than men.
