Arcade fire.. greatest band this century?

You must have looked quite the psychopath getting overcome with emotion with your earphones on sitting on a public bench wearing gloves without a coat.

The winter overcoat has been in use intermittently over the past week or so and I was wearing it yesterday. But I must have looked like a right psycho, yes. Eyes closed, head nodding/shaking, fists pumping.

I’ve started to listen to it. Quite poppy

Anyone see this live video of Afterlife at the recent inaugural YouTube Music Awards? Directed by Spike Jonze and starring Greta Gerwig. I enjoyed it a lot but it’s gotten mixed reviews online, as far as I can see. I think Afterlife is my favourite song on the new album.

No higher compliment could Locke pay to anything than to call it poppy.

I liked it, Gretta is a grand looking wee girl. Best song on the album imho.

The video was better than the Avicii one performed on the same night anyway thats for sure.

I’ve decided the new Arctic Monkeys album is better than the new Arcade Fire album.

That’s superb.

:smiley:

:clap:

I’d throw the new QOTSA album too. All three are class.

Arcade Fire knocked out a few tunes in a cafe in Kinvara yesterday evening… and then headed on to Morans The Weir for dinner.

Are they playing a festival/gig this side of the world?

They were in Marley Park last Sunday night mate. A great gig by all accounts.

Shows you how far I have regressed as a poster, as a semi hipster and as a human being… I need a good fucking kicking.

Did you not read glasagusbans epic tale of trying to escape rathfarnham?

No, mate… link?

Ah, the good old days…

At this stage of the week, the last few surviving swimmers of @ChocolateMice would be trying to furiously infuse with some female earthworms eggs in the filthy grass of Marley Park.

You’re fall has been dramatic but as long as your happy mate, that’s all that matters.
