that's the only reason anyone knows who they are. but people are obsessed because their music is incredible..

"Funeral" was my fourth favorite record of last year, pretty amazing for a debut.

Come down to Booster Juice in Mississauga, I'm sure I can persuade my manager into letting it go to you as long as you get a smoothie.

I have to admit...I am obsessed with AF. I listen to Funeral almost daily, and even though I've had it for a long time, somehow I end up liking it more and more after each listen. Tunnels recently became my favourite song of all time. It is just so good. I hate to admit it, but I think arcade fire might be dethroning olp as my favourite band...

i think you're safe admitting that around here.

yah, i love that cd

i listen to it quite a bit. the only one i have is funeral

I don't know if any of you have seen Fromage 2005 on muchmusic yet, but arcade fire's "rebellion" was on the list, and some very controversial things were said about them. I remember statements like "most overrated band ever" and "pretentious lyrics". I was pissed off. We're talking about some of the greatest music ever recorded in Canada.

I've only seen the Power Out video

"and what's with that snot on the drum?"



Fromage is pretty lame this year.

I haven't seen it yet and it doesn't look like Much is repeating it today - darn.

ehh, don't bother. olp didn't make the list. and britney is first. again.

ok good to know - thanks!

Shitney Spears is on the list this year?

^:lol:

a) it was about the band being pretentious when he met them, not the lyrics

b) the greatest music ever recorded in Canada? Holy Hyperbole, Batman!

haha

it really is up there though...
