I've wanted to see Pixies since I was sixteen years old, but without Kim Deal I don't know if I can get behind it. She was always the best part of Pixies.
In other news, Man Man blew the goddam roof off the Hawthorne on Friday. It was so fucking much like an Oingo Boingo show that I could hardly believe it. Top five shows of 2013 for me.

Sasquatch has phased out EDM headliners almost entirely since the advent of Paradiso. Which is, y'know. Awesome.

As per usual you're not directly attacking any one person. But the way you talk about Arcade Fire with such certainty and absoluteness, it leaves very little ambiguity as to how you feel about the people that enjoy their music. I basically TL;DR every statement you've ever made about the band as: "No offense (but offense implied) but you are an idiot if you like Arcade Fire" . So when people get defensive, which lets be clear here IS NOT ME, I think it's because it comes off like you're calling them stupid; basically that their taste in music is inferior to yours. Although the reason I don't ever argue about music with you is because with your extensive knowledge on the subject, you probably are right. Sometimes it truly does feel like I am a 14 year old girl defending the Biebs . Haha, yeah I do that. I own every Chumbawamba album ever recorded, though, so you can and should take all of my sweeping, declarative statements with a huge-ass grain of salt.

Oh, now, don't be like that. It's all in good fun, I know that. As long as you know that too then it's not even a thing. This forum IS a gathering place for a group of friends during the off-season, but it wasn't always that way. See how me and Pea were talking to each other in that Edward Nutsack thread? God damn, we hated each other back then. Now he's one of my favorite dudes in the world. It comes around. I say with a completely open heart that you should come around to one of the big board dork-outs one of these times. You won't believe the sheer number of hugs you'll receive.
And don't be self-conscious about your intelligence, man. On the internet? The internet is no place for that. Don't ever make apologies for yourself on the fucking internet. The people without enough brain cells to hack it on this board don't last anywhere near as long as you have. You're "in", as far as anyone here is concerned. Y'all just got Gramma'd. It doesn't happen very often anymore -- all this Arcade Fire talk clearly brought it to the surface -- but that's no reason to retreat.

I was standing at a bus stop smoking a cigarette a couple of weeks ago. A woman in her fifties came up to the bus stop and stood five feet downwind from me. Trying to be polite, I moved five feet downwind of her so I wouldn't be huffing acrid lungsmoke into her face. As if trying to prove a point, she then moved again -- back to five feet downwind of me. Then she started bitching at me for smoking. I told her that I was obviously trying not to smoke at her, and then I told her this: If you're going to have a bitchfit every fucking time you walk past a person smoking on the sidewalk, you are going to have a very long and unhappy life.My point, in this context, being this: if you're going to take it as a personal attack every time someone talks shit about a band you like, be prepared to feel like you are under siege at all fucking times. I didn't call you a fucking plebian, cheese. All I have said is that I don't like Arcade Fire, and -- ostensibly more interesting, even to a fan -- I have said why I don't like Arcade Fire. If that's not why we're here, then I don't fucking know why we're here (READ: that's why we're here and if that's not why YOU'RE here, you can fuck off). If I was talking shit to you personally, I can guaran-fucking-a-frog-on-a-cracker-tee that there wouldn't be any ambiguity about it. You would know. I am also entirely certain that if you spent half as much time listening to the music that I enjoy as I have spent listening to the bullshit that you listen to all day, you'd hate it at least as much as I hate Arcade Fire. I imagine you'd have something to say about it, too, and I would welcome that. If you want to sit around with a group of people that just wants to jack each other off while they congratulate each other on how much they all like Arcade Fire, then go here: forums.arcadefire.net/ Otherwise, stop quoting your history 101 textbook at me and grow another layer of skin.

It baffles me how you can listen to any of their new material and claim they're "sanding down the edges." They are recording fucking disco songs, dude. It's like Muse recording a dubstep album. They're like, this is what the kids are listening to, right? I've managed to find the majority of their songs innocuously ignorable for the last ten years but this new shit sets my teeth on edge. Seriously, though, you should go read the Edward Nutsack thread in the Hall of Fame if you're still thinking that I don't know what I'm talking about or that you can change my mind. Listening to twenty-something males attempt to explain why Arcade Fire is the greatest, most meaningful thing in the world is like listening to twelve-year-old girls attempting to explain why Justin Bieber is the greatest, most meaningful thing in the world. Tell it to someone who already agrees with you, because this chump ain't buying.

The fact that they all look like badly-sewn rag dolls has nothing to do with how terrible their music is. It only has to do with how silly they look when they paint black bars across their eyes. I said it best years ago: Arcade Fire is lowest common denominator shit. They're the Steven Spielberg of "indie rock": they manipulate people's emotions through a sense of nostalgia, but it is completely hollow. It frustrates me that something so desperately milquetoast is, like, the biggest thing in the world right now, although I'd wager every cent I have on them going the U2 route as opposed to the Radiohead route: forever sanding the edges down further, broadening the nature of their appeal until they break the perimeter and become another Top 40 Adult Contemporary behemoth. 'Scrubs' montage. Super Bowl Halftime. Poignant scene at end of new Ron Howard film. Mark my words.

You beat me to it. "December to Remember" at the Crystal Ballroom typically has the same lineup. You guys should keep us posted on this. I'd like to try to make a trip to Portland sometime around Christmas or NYE. Built to Spill's three night stand in Portland -- 12/29 - 12/31 -- is somehow not sold out yet.
