I think I have the one with the palmtree :thinking:

 

*checks*

 

Yup :wacky:

i'm buying it this weekend and i'm excited :wacky:

so when I was coming back from Osheaga/Montreal this summer one of my brother's friends was in the car and said that Sprawl II sounded a lot like Heart of Glass by Blondie. I didn't have the song on my ipod for that Blondie song I rediscovered this the other day.

 

You be the judge:

I think they sound extremely similar in terms of rhythm and chord progression. But I still think Sprawl II is so much better! :D

Hum... interesting point! I wouldn't say "extremely" similar though.

NEW ARCADE FIRE INTERVIEW ON PITCHFORK!!!!!!!

Which is excellent because there has been no news for ages.

http://pitchfork.com/features/interviews/7860-arcade-fire/

Good news and bad news for me, mostly bad.

Bad news is that I had to sell my Arcade Fire tickets for October 7th. I have a vital production session for one of my cinema classes that night and I'm super disappointed that I can't make the show anymore. :(

Good news is that I was able to find a friend to sell to who is just as passionate about the band as I am, so I didn't have to resort to selling to an anonymous person on a scalping site.

 

My best hope is that they return to LA toward the end of this tour (and hopefully at a better venue).

:( That is too bad. At least the ticket is in good hands.

A postcard is created by an analog signal: you. This site takes that postcard and converts it to digital. The Wilderness Machine brings it back to analog. Look for it on tour with the band in North America. If you're lucky enough to get someone's postcard from it, plant it. A tree will grow out of it.

^I don't even understand haha

There's a rumour they don't like playing here anymore after last time. :shrug:

 

Awesome!

Maybe see you there then! :)

 

yeah see you in Düsseldorf:D

 

Ha, me too. :cool: Well.. probaby, my friend just told me the transaction failed. Sigh.. :sad:

I hit up the Arcade Fire show last night at the Shrine Auditorium. Surprisingly, the venue is very small. I also had a very good ticket, which made me feel pretty lucky. I would imagine that this is the last time I will get to see them in a venue this small, so I tried to savor the opportunity.

 

This is the first time I've ever seen Arcade Fire, so I really didn't know what to expect. One thing that surprised me was the involvement level of the audience. Keep in mind, I live in Southern California, and Los Angeles crowds are notorious for watching a show with their hands in their pockets. Not last night - people were on their feet, hands in the air, and chanting along when appropriate. It was very cool to see, as obviously the band was really connecting. Like I said, I think Arcade Fire are going to do nothing but get bigger, and that's a crazy statement in light of how popular they have already become.

 

The best songs for me were those off of Funeral. It's just epic music that really fills the space of an arena. You just can't beat Rebellion, Wake Up, Neighborhood #1 and Neighborhood #3. Good stuff.

 

I haven't connected with the new material as much as the old. I don't know if it's because it's not as strong, or perhaps I just need to let it grow on me some more. I did like Sprawl II. To me, that was the strongest new song of the night.

 

I do find Arcade Fire (Win especially) to be a bit odd. Win talked about a comment he made the night before where he congratulated Barcelona for beating the Lakers in a pre-season game. Naturally, the crowd didn't really appreciate that statement. He set it up by saying something along the lines of 'this is where we say something negative about the city', or something to that extent. I know he was joking, but it just felt awkward to me and not really funny at all.

 

After the show, I hung around to see if I could meet the band. Sure enough, all of them came strolling out at 1 o'clock in the morning. Sarah was the sweetest. She stuck around and chatted with everyone there. Richard and Will also spent a moment with the fans. Regine and Win were a bit weird. I had a picture of the two of them together. I asked both of them to sign it and they each simply said no. I was kind of taken aback by their outright refusal. I mean, they were walking out of the venue and I met them each in a one-on-one setting. It was almost as if they couldn't be bothered, and they both walked right past me. Oh well, I was there for the show, which was fantastic. A pleasant interaction afterwards would have been great, but it wasn't the reason I was there. However, I must say, I wish I would have just gone home as opposed to leave on a sour note. Maybe next time it will be better.

Glad to know you had a great show and the chance to meet them, even if they didn't seem to be the friendliest guys ever..

That's weird cause other people who met them didn't say they weren't nice, but more shy I think :thinking:
