I don't understand the comparisons between arcade fire and radiohead to me at this stage of the game they are as incongruous as the radiohead-muse comparisons people still make. I think it may just be a mistaken identity thing. in the sense that they are two of the 'biggest' acts within this difficult to categorise subgenre of "indie rock" I liked the first and the last AF albums a lot but don't really equate them with RH or understand the 'radiohead-lite' label thats being pushed in the GD post. If anything i think that just shows the original posters inability to differentiate the two.

My biggest disapointment with pre hearing radiohead music was hearing drunken punch up at a wedding live before the studio version. The version i had was low quality and had a fuzz to it that gave the song more "umpf". They generally do a good job with studio versions.

The bootleggers are gonna be on doubletime between now and saturday to get find some illegitamate versions to release.
