Right 4 days ago I listened to Funeral by Arcade Fire, loved it, downloaded the other 2 albums. I've already bought a ticket to see them in Hyde Park. I love this band so much. Can't believe I've gone so long without listening to them, but glad I've found them now, cos I was listening to the same old stuff all the time, getting stale.

Have nobody to go with though, looks like my first gig on my own.

I'm thinking of going to the Hard Rock Calling fest, but I'm not sure if I'll like the atmosphere

Anyone been before?

[it's_a_foodage]

Yes I've been. Saw Paul McCartney there. It's a great atmosphere. It's a much older crowd and more chilled out atmosphere (probably partly down to the acts who played the day i went). It was a gentler crowd to what I'm used to. People didn't like people pushing through to get closer, which is the first time i've seen people have a problem with that. Had a great time there.

[Ghosty]

Ahh cool. Cheers for the info.

You have no idea how jealous I am. I don't think they've ever been here (probably wrong) and I just don't know when I will get to see them live. Jealousy has driven me mad.

BDO '08.

[Christina]

I kinda figured that was the case, but I don't think I knew about them then and...BDO. So.

[Rickydiculous]

My sister does a lot of work for Haiti in her job. I wanna convince her to put on some kind of benefit and have Arcade Fire play there. Then, of course, invite me so I could see them at a small, intimate gathering. Gotta make charity benefit you, right?

[StopWhinging]

And take me right? RIGHT?!?!? I like... charity.

that's awesome man! I just saw them for the first time last week and it was a fantastic show. a couple of the Suburbs songs kinda dragged a little, but everything they played off Funeral and Neon Bible killed. I may actually like Neon Bible the best from start to finish.
