[EJ]

Can't wait

Nice. Tell Win that Ed said, "hi."

[dimejinky99]

Haha!

Jeremy's their fiddle player is a huge frames fan. We've swapped bootlegs. Let's see if gh turns up. He might.

[dimejinky99]

This band get better and better live. The gig was incredible. Then we rushed back into town to see them play a secret show in Whelans. Legendary Dublin venue.

[dimejinky99]

They played a new song called creature comfort. It's awesome. Video in the link

Another new song

New song ("Electric Blue") released, with this attached in the email:

If you, the journalist, need something specific to say about it, try something like, “It’s the sound of Arcade Fire at the dawn of something new, gorgeously unsure if they’re ready for morning to come.”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuu.

I can't take the pretentiousness around this band.

it could have belonged in the "make fun of Pitchfork" thread, except the band did all the legwork themselves

[dimejinky99]

I think they are making fun of themselves and those publications to be honest.

[bodysnatcher]

you could be right. but they are still super pretentious

[EJ]

I wish I could find that clip of Will Butler swatting a giant palm frond around the stage like a maniac during a song.

[Jorge]

I think they are making fun of themselves and those publications to be honest.

Yeah bodysnatcher kind of missed the point of that one

probably, but it's not entirely out of the realm of a serious quote from the band

[Mike]

After these 4 singles I think Arcade Fire needs to be stopped.

[Mike]

Just shelve the album release and pretend it never happened. Reflektor is a good end point.

[bodysnatcher]

this Creature Comfort song is garbage

[LetMeSleep]

The album starts with:

1. Everything Now (continued)
2. Everything Now
.......
13. Everything Now (continued)

Fuck off.
