That was awesome.

A way for AF to show another side to themselves but still retain that edgy, awkward style that fits them so well.

Can't wait for the album.

And SNL or NBC should do that more often for their musical guests. Can't do it for everyone, obviously, but I'd like to see more of this kind of thing.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Going back and listening to Reflektor more and more frequently. Really pumped for the album.

Finally took the time to read the lyrics for "Reflektor". Quite a good song, interesting message. Makes the song a ton better, IMO.

 

Can't wait. We're getting close.

Happy Arcade Fire Week!

 

Less than 7 days until their new albums drops, so I'll check in here periodically and post some of their best stuff leading up to the release.

 

Haven't been this excited for an albums since The Hold Steady's "Stay Positive" -- that album didn't let me down, and I doubt this one will, either....

 

Enjoy!

If it makes anybody feel any better...it's getting released in Germany on Friday, apparently.

Rebellion (Lies) is in their top 5 for me for sure. Love that song.

 

Can't wait.

As a spotify premium subscriber I wonder how long it will be before it's available on there versus having to purchase it (I'll probably purchase it on itunes anyway, just to show  my support).

Spotify is usually pretty good about having it available day of... but I pre-ordered it on iTunes anyway, for the reason you listed.

 

Speaking of Spotify, just opened it to start listening to that The Hold Steady album you mentioned above... I had never heard of them. Good stuff so far.

Listen to Separation Sunday. That's a top-15 album for me.

Heard the new single, "Afterlife". Not digging it as much as Reflektor, which I'm not totally in love with either. Still very excited for album though.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

If you need anyone to go, keep me posted - I'm definitely down, even at a location friendlier for you obviously.

Well Kelly would likely go, but obviously you'd be welcome to join. Philly is the best location for me, but the Baltimore area certainly isn't bad for me either.
