this thread= More gratuitous Arcade Fire annoyance

I bet the leaflet's in cursive, the frou-frou fuckers.

i was at one of the af/lcd gigs and i did not recieve a leaflet nor did af make any comments about this on stage (even when they played "haiti"). they had ppl collecting change as you left and they sold a shirt, one that was hung up inconspicuously among the other merch. this thread is retarded.

and what's with the lack of black influence in their music anyway, if only there was a thread on that

and if only they would learn to play/write for one instrument before they start playing/writing for twenty

only proles authentically care about shit

I thought they could have strategically had someone between the beer sales area and the concert seating in order to collect the change I just received after my drink purchase, but other than that, I thought it was a pretty good idea.

xp FOR REAL THOUGH

what total assholes people who give to charity are, they're missing the real point. what they need to do is post on message boards.

(that said, I mean, you can make a lot more money for a cause by playing a charity gig than you can by trying to raise yr audience's consciousness)

the real issue here is bands that are musically influenced by arcade fire. there's at least one here in melbourne and it makes me want to kill (the band members and their enablers mostly)

well, exactly....

a command performance for obama's campaign staff. well done arecade fire!

not so well done obama's campaign staff for presumably voting for them as the band they most want to have play.

Is the original post suggesting that "contemporary indie rock" is not upper-middle class? Really? Yeah, they might all live in Brooklyn (which is itself very posh these days), but I'll put down a large sum of money that at least 96% of the dudes in those bands were raised in upper-middle class suburban families (or better).

really? wanna put an actual figure on that large sum, maybe give odds?

Jay-Z and the Arcade Fire. I smell an ill-conceived mash-up.... (Apparently Jay-Z did "99 Problems but a Bush ain't one.")

annoyance: they dress like 90s era Kelly Family

Hahahahah!

But Mackro, the people into them, they're too...

"HIP!"

"Fell In Love With a Win Butler"
