Coolest thing to ever happen in Orem?

Who is going?

I love Arcade Fire, but even they are not enough to get me to Orem.

I've listened to The Suburbs about five times now, and I think I can remember one song from it.

Check out Neon Bible. It's my favorite Arcade Fire album. The Suburbs took a long time to sink in with me. I didn't like it at first, but then I understood.

Also, a note to my Utah brothers and sisters: do not miss Arcade Fire live. Don't do it.

 

[tatermoog]

Oh, I like Funeral, and am one of the heretics that actually prefers Neon Bible.

I just think The Suburbs is boring as hell.

Addendum: I've not seen Arcade Fire live, but every time I try to get hyped up for a concert by listening to a live performance, I get something like this:

That is a band raping one of my favorite songs. If they did at a concert I was attending, I would probably have to leave.

EVERY time? That's wild. In the dozens of times over the years that I've searched for Arcade Fire live performances on youtube, I've never once come across something like that.

The overly-dramatic hippy-dancing, head-bobbing, and terrible terrible live singing of Winn Butler don't show up in other videos?

Sorry, Stickler, this is one of those cases where my grumpy old man comes out.

 

[JJ Rage]

Yes.

When do tickets go on sale?

I thought you meant the raping of your personal favorite songs. I saw Arcade Fire, and the singing was solid. I have seen videos where his voice wavers -- it sounds like his throat is raw. He does have a sort of rough singing style, at times. I mean, you can see how it would be rough on his throat. But in my personal experience, they are unbelievably awesome live. Not everybody can be a Miley / Britney with the perfect-every-time singing voice.

I dont mean to troll but is it really possible to "rock" in Utahr?
