Arcade Fire

turd.gifThis has nothing to do with anything and I’m going to remove this post before long, but . . .

the new arcade fire cd is the biggest piece of overblown crap I’ve heard in years. and, yes, I really do like ‘funeral’.

i hate it when bands go ‘portland’ on me and turn into pretentious drama queens.

arcade fire has flamed out. so damned sad!

    what do you mean by “going all Portland on you.” You are of course referring to Portland Maine?

    I am so not a fan of the new Arcade Fire CD either! It was utterly disappointing when I listened to it and I had high hopes. I do like the new Shins album though.

    Larry - I knew I could pull you out of the woodwork with that one. You know precisely which Portland I mean. The one where everyone still thinks it’s hip to dress like Elliot Smith, only without the crank scars and the dirty hair.

    Barbara - I’ve no issues with the new Shins. But I will say the new Macy Gray record, where she calls herself Karen Dalton … makes me want to disembowel someone.

    You know what, I think that I would have to agree with you here Tod. Way to take a stand.
    Fucking Portland, man.
