MissingPerson's Official Lovely Non-Threatening Arcade Fire Joy Parade.

[kitt kat]

The last show of their tour last year in Berkeley remains one of the best live shows I have ever been to.

The one in the summer? If so, agreed wholeheartedly.

[suprefan]

That would be the one.

[ThomThom]

The one in the summer? If so, agreed wholeheartedly.

But of course June 2nd, 2007. The first night was also fantastic but there was something so magical about night 2, maybe it was the fact that they had to come back out again after the last encore to finish rebellion(lies) because the crowd would not stop singing it, never seen that before, ever.

[SoulDischarge]

It is with hesitation that I approve this thread. I wish I could see the light and be cool like you guys. From what I hear, the live show will change my mind

For some reason, I cannot shake this image I have of them being creepy religious creepos who are uber religious and kinda creepy

That's kind of funny since they have an album that spends half its time calling out creepy religious creepos on their creepy religious behavior.

Was that the "Cold Wind" night?

I just realized why you don't like the Arcade Fire.

You are confusing them with these guys...




EDIT: With that being said, I would be very surprised if Salah was not a Polyphinic Spree fan.

Exactly, I mean Antichrist Television Blues isn't endorsing Joe Simpson's behaviour...

Certainly, they're very interested in religion, but I've been an Arcade Fire nerd for years now, I'm not even sure what religion any of them are, if any. The icons and stage gear and everything, that's just... I want to say "part of the act", but that sounds pantomime-y, which it isn't. What I mean is, that stuff kind of sets the scene. The lights, the drums, the preacher stuff, it's a conscious performer thing, they don't dress like that when they aren't on stage or anything.


I mean, The Arcade Fire's Win Butler:


And regular old Win Butler off stage:


are very different guys.


The actual girls and boys are entirely normal, functioning, 21st century girls and boys, really.

...uh...

They just happen to live in a church, is all.

[MissingPerson]

For the record, as previously stated, Polyphonic Spree creep the hell out of me.

[rage patton]

Have you listened to them MissingPerson?

[MissingPerson]

Little bit. It's nice, I do intend to hear more of them, because I'm reliably told I'm missing out on something huge at their live shows.

Still wouldn't let them babysit though.

[rage patton]

I actually haven't heard their latest album (this thread reminded me to download it) but their first two albums are awesome. Its just realyly fun, really happy music. I heard their third album is kind of dark though. Also, I have heard nothing but excellent things about their live show. I am dying to see them.

[sbessiso]

EDIT: With that being said, I would be very surprised if Salah was not a Polyphinic Spree fan.

WTF???

What makes you say that?

MP-They live IN A CHURCH?????

p.s-the guy sitting on the floor in red shirt and the guy right next to him are both cuuuute.

Seriously, in a church?

[MissingPerson]

Salah - Win and Regine live in a converted church, yeah. Former Freemason's Hall too. It's converted into a recording studio, they don't like... sacrifice tiny blonde girls on the altar or anything.

[sbessiso]

Sketchy, to say the least.

[rage patton]

WTF???

What makes you say that?

Because they make some of the happiest fucking music I have ever heard.



I dare you to watch the entire video and tell me you don't have a smile on your face.

[sbessiso]

I don't even have to watch that video, Ragey because the answer is YES. Of course, I'm a fan. I just found your confidence a little funny. You don't know me!! (except you DO!)

[Blinken]

That is creepy, and they might sacrifice tiny blonde girls, you don't know for sure. Salah I am with you on this 100%.

Edit: Oh shit Beck is back

[rage patton]

I KNEW you were a Polyphonic Spree fan haha.

P.S. Im glad you changed your avatar. What the fuck was that thing you had before?

[frozen pilgrim]

I hereby nominate missingperson for board member of the year. straight up good people.

[suprefan]

Yeah cause they like Canada

[MissingPerson]

I should probably point out at this point that I'm an extremely hostile atheist. If somebody handed me a button to launch all religion on earth into the surface of the damn sun, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

But if I thought for one second any of that shit was for real for Arcade Fire, I'd be over in the Muse thread. That's it for Neon Bible, I don't think #3 is gonna cover the same turf...

[zenidogx]

[MissingPerson]

Few weeks ago I had a fight with a charity worker.

A charity worker.

That is creepy, and they might sacrifice tiny blonde girls, you don't know for sure.

Uh... uh oh.



Still, what's a tiny blonde girl here or there compared to say, the mariachi bit in Ocean of Noise?

They only grow into Jessicas and Britneys and Christinas anyway.

Tiny blonde girls FTL.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

He actually looks not creepy in that second picture Missing Person posted.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

And faxman, could you post a link to the Modified performance torrent in this thread and not the old one, please?

[sbessiso]

That is creepy, and they might sacrifice tiny blonde girls, you don't know for sure. Salah I am with you on this 100%.

Edit: Oh shit Beck is back

Glad to have you on my side Blink. It's fun over here

I KNEW you were a Polyphonic Spree fan haha.

After a weekend of Spongebob binging, I felt inclined to google "Handsome Squidward". Fucking GREAT episode, but I digress...
