\nstatement by a N.M.H. fan stating that Pitchfork, the ‘new music’ website, in favorably
\nreviewing Arcade Fire’s 2004 debut CD Funeral<\/em> – made Arcade Fire famous.
\nThis is not true. Arcade Fire became famous because they are an awesome group,
\n who (just like the groups of the Elephant 6 community) play only ‘independent
\nand authentic’ music, and get great joy in doing that.<\/p>\n
\nexcept that its from the north as opposed to the south. Those of us who heard Funeral<\/em>
\nwhen it first came out in the fall of 2004, did not need Pitchfork’s review to confirm
\nthe notion that Funeral<\/em> was a great monster of a CD.<\/p>\n
\nscreaming at him to listen to it more carefully. Within a week he was following
\nthe group all over the East coast.<\/p>\n
\nin the spring of 2004, and by that summer he was photographically stalking her live
\n shows, here, and in Europe, so I was happy that he got it.<\/p>\n
\nthrough word of mouth from their supercharged live shows. I vividly remember the
\ngreat reviews their live shows generated. <\/p>\n
\n“Intervention”, “Ocean of Noise”, “Keep The Car Running”, and
\n“(Antichrist Television Blues)” are all totally incredible musical recordings, which are probably even
\nmore epic and spectacular when heard and seen live.
\nIn my opinion, the church organ on “Intervention” is worth the price of the CD alone.
Buy the CD, don’t miss them live, and be amazed.<\/p>\n
