Who likes the Arcade Fire?
I'm listening to these cool live recordings, and there's some overzealous audience member who yells "holy shit!" twice in this album. You know what? I kind of appreciate that. I think that's part of the joyous unpredictability you just can't find on studio recordings.

In fact, if I ever start a band and cut an album, I'm gonna tell the producer to just shout out some curse words like a drunken fan whenever he feels it appropriate. It'l be like this:

"Do do do do doooo.... na na na na naa.... 'oh fuck these guys are awesome!'.... la la laaaaa..."

I think I have a hit on my hands, don't you? If you don't have an opinion but you also think the Arcade Fire is a cool little band, just post that.

:hi:

1. I liked their album
It was pretty decent.

I especially liked their cover of Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)"; I just stumbled upon it recently. The original is one of my favorite songs.

2. I downloaded a couple songs from their Funeral album.
I love the guitar sound. Excellent material.

3. I do
I think they are a very cool little band and I highly recommend "Funeral" to anyone who wants to dance around the house in a fit of delight and excitement.
