It was a slow news day and I was trying to help out. Jesus. Sorry my position on the Arcade Fire isn't registering precisely where it ought to on the hype/backlash scale. I was being honest about how I felt while noodling around on the site. It was boring and pretentious, much like the song itself.

I fight back only because I've had a few too many Mahous.

Hack job, anyone?

I can't wait to hear Regine + an Eastern European choir do the YJFLRGLBLE bit.

re: "fans can participate in the profound artistic process that yielded the murky, boring song"

Like, "unnecessarily tear apart a minor news story about them" level of hate? I didn't catch that memo.

Mostly I like that I now have an acapella and a drum track that I can muck about with on my own.

I concede the album as a whole was kinda weak, but Black Mirror was one of the standouts for me. Oh well, I should probably just throw in the towel and pretend I never liked this band in the first place.

I think it's nifty, actually, much like the pretty amazing (but, yeah, kinda artsy fartsy) Neon Bible video.
