sweet!!!!

SECC tickets were hard to get i tell thee... ***phew***
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    as a fan that's good for you dunk. have fun. :)

    but for me the only arcade fire song ive taken a shine to is one where they actually sound like modest mouse circa the lonesome crowded west imo. :)

    Nice one Dunk.

    I've sort of come to terms with the idea I'll never see them live, they're just one of those bands... then again I thought that about Pearl Jam until last year, so.... :D

    hmm which one sounds like that?

    by the way dunk have you seen them before? I've had the pleasure of seeing them twice and they really come alive in concert.

    yeah, i heard their first album and although some of the music may be moving, the guy that does most of the vocals is just terrible. I really don't see what seperates them from every other band out there in the indie scene.

    never made that connection. I'll have to listen to it again and see if i catch it. I love Lonesom Crowded West. It is my fav mouse album and one of my fav 90's album.

    Power out is one of my favorite arcade fire songs too.

    you're lucky! I saw them in Portland in May, and I have NEVER seen a crowd that into a band and into the moment, EVER! It was incredible.

    im not a huge modest mouse fan either, but when someone sent me power out on a comp, they were the first thing that came to mind cause lonesome crowded west is one of my fave records. all the other arcade fire ive ever heard is something i can do without. :)
