Please Come to Houston, Arcade Fire
Pitchfork's got a nice interview with "I can't believe that were number 2 on Billboard the week of their release" band the Arcade Fire.
It's a very good interview, actually. As opposed to, say, this interview with Wilco, where Jeff Tweedy comes off like he doesn't understand what made Wilco's best work brilliant and what makes their current work kind of lame and disappointing (and I'm fully prepared to eat these words and sound like an idiot later if I end up liking the album), Win Butler seems to get it. He really does, God bless him, and I can only hope that means more and more Arcade Fire brilliance to come.
By the way, these shorter posts are inspired by Nick Means' recent blogging revival, and are an effort to post more frequently, and to include content about things I care about, and not just things about me (which I'm sure you all know is something I care about, but, well, you get the point...). No doubt these subjects will bore some of you, but maybe you'll see something interesting, and maybe you'll learn somethings about me by example.
