Nah…very mundane…you need to do better
To be fair, I did go back and listen to Mackster’s post. They may have re-cut the clip using the Angus version. I remember between the original single and the Angus version being much starker. I’ll have to dig out 1977 now and do an A-B comparison…
Arcade Fire is a yes
Strangely timed, given the news
Yes before they get canceled
Yes
Indeed…
Arcade Fire are one of those bands like Manic Street Preachers where I feel I should like them more than I actually do. There’s just something indefinable about them that leaves me somewhat cold. I mean, they’re OK but not much more…
A tepid yes…
I GUESS WE’LL JUST HAVE TO ADJUUUUUUUUUST
~yes~
I only just read that news now because you pointed it out.
Rockstars can’t sleep with hot young women anymore, worlds gone mad.
I haven’t read into the details of the accusations, so I don’t know what they entail.
But I kind of feel that every lead singer of every rock band ever, could be done for sexual misconduct in some way. And not just the male ones.

It really is an alternative reality when you’re rich and famous, isn’t it?
My balls would be in a jar
