I'm not the only one who immediately thought that, then. As for the song titles...I really don't think it's fair to judge a song on it's title, no? Strawberry Fields Forever sounds like a crappy song title too, doesn't it? ;)

I share most of those sentiments. A solid album, definitely a step forward. The sound is definitely Beirut, but more mature, more professional. Owen Pallet deserves a lot of credit for it; the string arrangements never become monotonous or boring, which on this album is an accomplishment! Also, his voice on "Cliquot", my personal favorite right now, is a refreshing change of pace, a little more straightforward vocals as opposed to Condon's crooning (which is still as beautiful as ever.) A terrific bit of progress is what will hopefully become a long, illustrious career.

12 Shockingly Absurd Celebs 1. Paris(I look like my dog) Hilton 2. Victoria Beckham 3. Tom Cruise 4. Vincent Mac Doom (google it, if you don't know... you'll see) 5. Britney Spears 6. Keira Knightley 7. Micheal Jackson 8. Amy Winehouse 9. Nicky Hilton! lol 10. the Hoff 11. Pamela Anderson 12. Kanye 'I gave stars the confidence to speak their minds' West

Also sounds a wee bit awkard, no? American works just a smidge better. Generally, I've used America to describe the United States, and The Americas to describe this side of the world. Makes sense to me, anyway.

er....that's a little broad, no? fast. "ee-ther" or "aye-ther"?

All these videos...thank you ever so much! Admittedly, I don't care for that particular song, but I do love seeing Zach and Arcade Fire together. Looks like they're having tremendous fun...oh to have been there. Makes me wanna go to the Arcade Fire concert here in October...

Penicillin. The next poster goes to/went to uni.

Well, I might be able to do one or the other, bsed on a) money, b)who wants to go. I already have a friend from a Killers' forum who's gonna be at the Columbus show, but I really wanna see Artics...ergh. Also, I had "Indie Rock and Roll" stuck in my head all day. I absolutely lurve that song.

He does it quite well, you know. Kidding, much love, Rick.

As far as anyone knows, drunk Brandon is the only Brandon that actually talks a lot on stage. Heh. They're gonna be here in less than a month, but I may not make it on account of a speeding ticket I got. Boo. (I'm also missing Arctic Monkeys here, three days later. Same thing. Go me.)

You know, Lore, it's gonna be 102 outside tomorrow. Your picture makes me happy.

You don't like a lot of body parts, do you? :P
