I've been saying that soup should be legal here in Nevada, since gambling and prostitution are legal. Doesn't make sense that even a small bowl of soup can land a person in jail and net them a hefty fine, too.  It really is bizarro world here.

Yeah, I bought this because Rolling Stone told me to and it was by far the only smart thing I've done. Ever.

Very good album but this isn't my favorite song from it. Still a good song, thanks for playing it.

"THE SUBURBS"
Grammy 2011 for album of the year; but they didn't play this song on the show!

Nah.  I mean, if that were true, Willie Nelson would be serving a triple life sentence.

Speaking of which - check this out - Willie Nelson has started an NPO for, um, soup? law reform. Click that or just Google "teapot party".

It's Dayvid Boughwee (voice quavering)

American suburbs of music!

Possibly the most boring place on this planet!!!

Darlings of the industry that they are, I don't think that they are so great... 

I love arcade fire.  This song reminds me of my recent road trip across wyoming. 

Is it too much to hope for a 30 something music head with secret tattoos to remove me from rainy england and take me on a permanent road trip?  Thought so...now where's my brolly?

Couldn't have said it better myself.  This song has actually grown on me, unlike the other songs from this album that I've heard.  My first impression of all of them was "bo-o-o-o-o-o-o-oring".  But this one has a Spoon-like hypnotic effect with that kick drum beat.

Not one of my favorite bands, but this is one of ,if not, the best song I have heard from them.

As hoped, Arcade Fire were fantastic - one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. . .

I'm getting a Lindsey Buckingham vibe to this song.

That chorus just slays me...

Dont no why, first tacts remember me «Instant Karma»

P.S.: I'm envious of your dilemma - seeing AF and Calexico on the same bill - awesome

W116 Mercedes to be exact!  The first ever production vehicle to offer anti lock brakes!
Oh yea, and this band is great. 

Can't wait to see them at Berkeley!

I will be attending the same double bill at the Memorial Colosseum in Portland Oregon on 30.Sep.  I've seen and love Calexico, and I really dig The Arcade Fire.  I say go for it! 

Wow - an Arcade Fire song that doesn't make me go 'meh'
Awesome.

What a great song (and album)

Venue: Berkeley's Greek Theater
Acts: Arcade Fire, Calexico
Dilemma: I LOVE Calexico, but is it worth schlepping to Berkeley when Arcade Fire is the headliner for this bill?

P.S. The Greek Theater in the autumn is reason enough to go.

They should legalize soup... especially in tough economic times when it clearly isn't going away and other countries that have done the same haven't seen much of an increase in eating soup. Positives outweigh the negatives for sure... plus it gets it out of the hands of soup criminals, and it can be safely regulated and taxed by Campbell's, eliminating the crime. Soup brownies can be pretty good... would have to be a dessert soup though... that brownie would get soggy.

You know...they should just legalize soup. My wife makes great soup brownies, btw.

I thought in Texas you get like life in prison for enjoying a bowl of soup. That's like bizarro world for us Canadians...

Mercedes?  

Got this CD last night and will spend a good part of the weekend listening to it..I might enjoy a bowl and a malt whiskey tonight listening to it, come to think of it. A bowl of soup, that is...Ahem. Great band, this.
