OK, so, I just watched the enter Arcade Fire Coachella set...

...and I still just don't get it. First of all, and most importantly, that woman should never sing lead vocals on anything, EVER! Her voice is just atrocious. Second, it sounded like they played about five songs over and over because they sound almost exactly the same. Third, lyrically, they're just not that good. And I know a lot of people think that's one of their strong points, but I don't agree. lol Also, in the entire hour and forty-five minute set there was about four parts you could sing along with, and one of them was the "whooooa-oooooh, ooooh, oooh, oooh". lol Lastly, do they really need EIGHT people for that music? Again, I just don't get it. Terribly overrated, imo.

I'd like to say I'm sorry, but... shrug lol The balls during their encore were extremely cool. But I think that had more to do with the Creator's Project and/or United Visual Artists than Arcade Fire. Otherwise, as I said, I don't get it.

I still don't know who this band even is. Or LCD Soundsystem. Whatever, I'm enjoying getting old and listening to the same damned Prince albums every day.

Lucky for you (and me! lol ) LCD Soundsystem retired. Now if The National and Arcade Fire would only follow them out the door. sigh

Edit: Because lucky usually has a y on the end of the word.

eek I swear I posted these videos... so they must be floating around in an unrelated thread. lol Love it when that happens.

Skip along to 2:10 when 'Ready To Start' begins..

Balls. Terrible sound, but this is where the balls came from...

And it was the Creator's Project that brought the balls to the show.
