I think Matthew is right about Funeral, the album is interesting but not great. I'd love to see them live, but they'll never come where I live.

Your profile keeps cracking me up. Some pomo, multicultural urban guy who likes his fluffy pillow and sleeps with eyeshades, but has a soft spot for girl folk and chicks who dig the backcountry. Good luck with all that.

I truly don't understand the hype around Arcade Fire. "They have a violin! Weee!"

Seriously now, will someone please point me to the hype? I'd never even heard of this band. I want to know where to go to get hype; all I'm getting now is backlash.

Hype, and LOTS of banner ads for suicidegirls.

I don't know if I'd call it hype, but I think this counts as enthusiasm.

We decided on the very night of the DC Arcade Fire show to initiate the backlash to the backlash.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Their live show kills.
