  1. I'd love to see an eno and radiohead cd. That would sound either terrible or the best thing ever.

    I guess they're indie/unknown, but their latest, Intimacy, is the best record of 2008. Its weird- dance/post punk. You should dl it. Although their first album sucked.

    Going to a record shop Sunday, I might check 'em out
    Ever heard Arcade Fire?They're wonderful

    I tried cropping my own icon in paint, except it took me a while to realise it counts the white backing as pixels. Then I got annoyed and just cropped it to a little rectangle.

    I just get icons from LJ


  6. They pissed me off what they said bout U2.


  7. Yeah! Arcade Fire rule. I own the special edition of Neon Bible, and fell in love with Funeral. If you can't find Intimacy by Bloc Party, their second, A Weekend In the City, is awesome also.

    What's the special edition?
    Omg I got Funeral about two weeks ago...wow, what a beautiful album I don't know which is better, Neon Bible or Funeral

    And what did they say about U2?


  10. Sounds like someone's got his panties in a bunch... Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler had anything but kind words about bands like U2, The Rolling Stones, and Oasis, who "want to shove [success] down people’s throats." Win told NME:

    “It’s not like we shun success, but at the same time we don’t want to shove it down people’s throats. In the UK there’s this kind of rock star competition. I don’t know if U2 started it, or The Stones or Oasis but a lot of bands think in terms of: ‘I’m going to be the biggest band in the world. Fuck all those bands who’ve got no ambition’. I think that’s a total crock of shit. There’s nothing less interesting to me than the idea of marketing the fuck out of something so people are forced to like it. Some bands are just manipulating people to buy music. That’s how 90 percent of the record industry works! It’s basically the same as selling a fucking toaster or a cruise package.”

    Yet U2 was nice enough use their song and use them as openers for their Tour.

    Geez Win, way to be nice
    They still make great music. Although I can kind of understand where he's coming from. But U2 are such nice guys that they would still let Arcade Fire tour with them God bless those boys
  12. BTW Justin, love the new icon
    Very Edgeriffic
