This fire is out of control

Thank the blog-gods that a popular music blogger has finally urged people to shut up about the Arcade Fire already. Sorry Kyle, but if I read pap like this, I'm gonna start... not reading their blogs anymore:

"Funeral is splendid and brave and every week I have a new favourite track. This is a band I've loved for a long, long time, and here's an album that will never go away, that I can always turn back to, that will shimmer and flash even years from now. It'll bring memories of dark, hot or flush days; not of childhood but of the time after, of when everything loomed big, when my heart beat big, when I wasn't scared of death, only of life. These are songs whose lyrics flash behind my mind's eye, realer than other scenes; they're songs that are meant, made blazing with feeling, and yet, for all this earnesty and wisdom and narrative, so too are they songs for dancing, for singing, for loving and listening to. These are pop-songs for the end of the world or the beginning of it, for Wendy remembering Peter, for broken, whole and beating hearts. And I thank them."

I love Said the Gramaphone, but here's hoping this guy doesn't write his own wedding vows.

Sorry everyone, but the best thing to come out of Montreal is still poutine.
