i've posted twice in there in the last year, both were probably rude

One time I was in my room listening to the Arcade Fire EP, and then my mom walks in and she makes a face and says "what is this music? It sounds awful!" And i was like, ouch mom, ouch that hurts (seeing as they are my favourite band after OLP). now i know what it feels like for her when i make fun of all of her music. But I also hated the arcade fire on the first few listens but fell in love rather quickly. I think its like that for everyone. Nobody likes the arcade fire on the first listen. nobody. Especially the Ep. you have to listen to it at least 5 times before you can start liking the songs.

i was mad that i wasted my money on them, now i love them

I loved the Arcade Fire on my first listen through.

nice

Has anyone seen the new vid for Neighbouhood #2 (Laika)? They premiered it on Muchmusic last week. It's pretty good. The song isn't my favourite, but it's great to see them with a new video. I just wish they would release Tunnels as a single. My gosh..that song rocks

Yeah i liked the Video

I also too did not care for them the first few times I listened to them. But as is the way with these things, funeral's presence on my itunes list eventually caused itself to be known, and the rest is lovey dovey history

:O i havent seen a video for Laika! but both their videos so far = good

It's another cartoony one like Power Out...but different.

some way they manage to both suck and blow at the same time

They are talented sexual masters and great musicians?!?!?

probably :O

You couldn't be more right. It actually took me until I saw them live on the MuchMusic Video Awards (which totally sucked this year, btw. Unlike years past) and they were definately the highlight of the show. It made me go whoa. Blew me away. And I've been fan ever since

i liked them the first time i heard them. i gues i'm nobody

arcade fire's performance at the muvhmusic video awards =

Yeah...that performance definitely increased ppl's awareness of them. Gave them a big boost in popularity in Canada I think.

Their new video made me think of School House Rock.

Then I changed the channel.




(I do actually like them, just not how people seem to be obsessed with them)

I'm not obsessed, just a fan. I'm gussing people seem obsessed because they're just soooo happy to have something great in Canadian music come along.
