Oh... My... Swollen penor... Man, I'm hoping they replicate that setlist for tonight...
Same here... probably has most of my favorites from their previous albums as well as all their new awesome songs. Pumped for tonight!
 
Maybe it's because I don't pay any attention to lyrics in pop music, but this album isn't grabbing me. Where just about all of the songs on Funeral sound distinct, most of the songs on The Suburbs sound like something I've heard elsewhere or that any number of bands could've plausibly done.

It's a solid album; it's just nothing special.
 
Is this album streaming from anywhere? I like Month of May and the other single, but it isn't on Spotify, and I don't wanna buy it blind.

It was on NPR. But I would say go for it. Its only 3.99 for mp3 on Amazon and 9.99 at Best Buy for CD. Well worth it for much higher quality.

I'm British, so don't talk about Best Buy. :P

But yeah, I like what I've heard. There's a few tracks on YouTube, then I'll pick it up if I like them too, which I probably will.
 
Terry Gilliam is the man, that was some smooth piano playing there.
Also is this the tour where Spoon are supporting? They should have showed them on the stream as well.
 
Also anyone surprised at the prominent sponsorship of this thing? Win has always struck me fairly anti-corporate in interviews and such.
 
damn. how is a youtube hosted stream getting overwhelmed. i had no idea arcade fire were so big.

edit: started working again, neighborhood 2 playing.
 
Too many douches clicked on the link and are hogging all the bandwidth! And they probably never even heard of arcade fire =\
 
I got a little bit of buffering during the beginning of Laika, but it went away pretty quickly.

Will is just hammering on that drum. :lol
