How anyone can say this is "boring " is beyond me---powerful song---not melodically complicated but it expresses so much power and emotion--

Regina and Win recently became the parents of a baby boy. I wonder how parenthood will influence their future work.

They are one of the most interesting and enjoyable groups on todays music scene. One attended concert or Austin City Limits on the tube or take a trip to Canada, and you may consider the delete function on your remark..... you first.... |

Except Tiny Tim could at least carry a tune, falsetto as it may be. This guy? Oy Vey! In spite of his ummm interesting song stylings this song is pretty decent. |

Pretty sly reference, my fellow British Columbian. Given's Campbell's love of gambling proceeds, I'm surprised he never got around to legalizing and taxing soup ;) |

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.

Getting cool to this Arcade Fire thing. Of late, every damn song sounds the same. I'm downgrading or even muting until they evolve their motif.

Yep. Even a 5.8 is generous for this. |
