:lol: perché?

non voglio spaventarti, ma l 'anno scorso con i radiohead è stato un macello allo stato puro. se la gente qui ai concerti è una merda li è molto molto molto peggio. thom non lo sentivo che cantava, ma veramente! tutti ci cantano sopra. e sono tutti ubriachi, ma marci...ho rischiato una costola dalle spinte.

se invece ti piace il casino allora è il posto giusto...

ah bhè, piacere il casino sugli arcade fire proprio no! (mica sono gli oasis!).

Però era la mia unica occasione per vederli in questo tour (a settembre sarò-appunto- in Inghilterra), e non volevo perdermeli per nulla al mondo.

Perciò, che dire, speriamo bene :)

From Hot Press

The Suburbs - Street By Street

The Suburbs

A deceptively simple little number delivered in country swing time, the title tune of AF's third album opens out over the course of five minutes into a mini epic with a killer chorus and wintry guitar overdubs contradicting the hissing-of-summer-lawns atmosphere. "I want a daughter to call my own/ Show her all of this beauty before it's gone" sings Win. Sneakily cinematic.

Ready To Start

Boasting a thumping big beat somewhere between Motown and New Wave, Ready To Start is first cousin to Keep the Car Running, a statement of intent coloured with great washes of synth and guitar treatments, plus Dylan steals like "Businessmen drink my blood".

Modern Man

If previous AF records sounded like they were beamed from another age, this one posits and alternative history of the late 70s/early 80s. Case in point, Modern Man, with it's chipper beat, chirpy keyboards and neo-afro guitar.

Rococo

Ah, the return of the pipe organ., the big plodding beat, the Big O acoustic guitar layers and calls for orchestral back-up. There's also a side-order of Edge-sized guitar breaks and military rat-tat-tat snare rolls as Win files is report on urban planning/regeneration; "They build it up just to burn it back down."

Empty Room

Regine takes the lead on a storming tune kitted out with full bells, whistles and strings. Force of nature stuff, it sounds like Spector producing the E Street Band, with Kevin Shields as musical director. :uhm:

City With No Children

"I feel like I've been living in/ A city with no children in" Jean-Pierre Juenet and Marc Caro meet The Cars. The muscular riff and handclappy beats make this close enough for power-pop. Today's lesson - "Never trust a millionaire quoting the sermon on the mount".

Half-Light I

Regine steps up again to deliver a vocal that weds The Crystals to Joy Division. Here be sparkling chord changes, a stabbing "Straight To Hell" guitar lick and majestic cellos as the curtain comes down. Dense, but beautiful.

Half Light II (No Celebration)

A powerchord and synth fanfare intro that means business. Big bolero beats, a simple but haunting melody line, Moroder-ish rhythm science and a typically tormented vocal from Mr Butler, delivering lines like "I wanna wash away my sings/ in the presence of my friends."

Suburban War

Rickenbacker arpeggios and Byrds-like chimes provide the backdrop to the story of a young man trying to make sense of where he is by redrawing a map of his history. "In the suburbs, I learned to drive" Win sings, reprising the title tune, "And they told us we'd never survive"

Month of May

"Antichrist Television Blues" as performed by the Ramones, "Month of May" is the most balls-out thing AF have ever recorded. Three minutes of CBGB heebie-jeebies before black key keyboard lines give the whole shebang a darker twist.

Wasted Hours

No Depression licks, weepy strings; another country chugger that'd sound whimsical if not for lines like "Some cities make you lose your head".

Deep Blue

The Lovin' Spoonful meets early U2 with a Lennon-esque vocal, this tune contrasts a clop-along tempo with weird overdubs and thrives on the tension.

We Used To Wait

Clipped beats, a repetitive piano lick and low key, subtle melody that catches you on the third listen. A fine song, if a somewhat idiosyncratic choice of single.

Sprawl I (Flatland)

A big waltz-time ballad in the Crown of Love vein, this one evokes twilight over stucco bungalows, with Jacques Brel strings.

Sprawl II (Mountains beyond Mountains)

Wowsers. A 1983 vintage synth op disco rock mongrel with elfin vocal from Régine.

The Suburbs (Continued)

A brief but lovely orchestral reprise of the title tune, with the final blessing: "If I could have it back/ All the time we wasted/ You know I'd love to waste it again." Amen.

minchia 1 mese e mezzo di vacanza?!!?

alla faccia degli arcade fire!

No beh, di vacanza vera e propria son solo 2 settimane, però poi per motivi vari ed eventuali che-non-mi-sembrava-il-caso-di-scassarvi-la-fonchia-coi-particolari-dei.-azzi-miei non riuscirò a connettermi fin a settembre, quindi andrò al concerto "vergine".
