Arcade Fire

I love the Korean title variant, but love the coloured vinyl too. Conflicted!

It means that Flea plays bass on it.

Mark King, actually. No one knows who Flea is.

Flea play on Une Année Sans Thumbière"

The idea of Flea slapping his bass all over Arcade Fire songs is causing considerable distress.

6music love it so much they've played it twice in the last two hours... Well it worked for I Give You Power. Definitely feels like a grower and sounds like one that would translate well live. Good fun. Not sure about the Abba comparisons though.

I'm absolutely loving the new song.  Along with the new Washed Out song, its my contender for feel good hit of the summer

[rzwodezwo]

What a fucking banger this is. Best AF song since The Suburbs

NEED a ticket for Castlefield.

What's Castlefield like for buying off touts outside? Can't see me getting anywhere with twickets.

Not sure, but there's always a load of last minute tickets on twitter the day before and on the day itself. Unless you want tickets for 4 you'll probably be fine.

Another new one recorded in Barcelona tonight

 

I don't want to rinse this one on poor quality phone recording but I think this is fantastic too, possibly even better than EN when the studio cut comes out. Régine is such a badass.

I forgot to respond to this. It's what the [modern] kids say now 'bangs' has been adopted by all the old disc jockeys.

Cheers.

Have struggled finding any on twitter for a couple of gigs at the arena recently so not too confident if my recent luck is anything to go by.

How many does Castlefield hold? 8k ish?

But they're still seeing Arcade Fire, i'm sure when that Saturday rolls around I will wish I was there.

I know they can easily be accused of being pretentious in their overreach, but you have to admire the ambition in a statement like this:

Quote

There’s sort of an everything-nowness to life. I feel like almost every event and everything that happens surrounds you on all sides. It’s trying to capture some of the experiences of being alive now in all its flaws and all its glory.
