Arcade Fire are soundchecking 200 yards away

Posted over 2 years ago
... from my flat, right now. It's a strange feeling.They're in the park across the street, preparing for their gig in a Big Top. I should hear the whole gig blasting out tonight. Sorry if it feels like I'm rubbing it in for some people...but I am. Ha-ha.Thing is, I'm trying to get some work done here. So I think I'm gonna have to over the road and tell 'em to "Keep the bloody noise down!"(For more on this Badly Drawn Boy cover, see "Fistula's Mog":http://mog.com/fistula_spume/blog_post/118856.)

    Marigold says I would consider it noise. Must admit I really do not get "it" with the Arcade Fire hype. God knows I have tried to figure "it" out. It still is pretty cool that you are so close. Thanks for the report.

    Jonh Ingham says Bloody musicians. Always thinking of themselves and nobody else. Actually, I'm very jealous - what a nice way to have a free concert.

    FluxCapacitor says Ah, good -- a jealous person. Thanks, Jonh! Mike -- I hope you "get" Ian Brown, M.I.A, or Bloc Party. They're up next month and I want to make you hopping mad!

    darmuzz says Coolness! Now I might be annoyed if, say, Akon was soundchecking outside my window...but Arcade Fire? Nah! They could keep me awake anytime.

    Girlcrawl says A groovy, rather intoxicating rework; the 'lounge' vibe works for me! Regarding your proximity to the 'bloody noise' across the street, I so wish I were experiencing that sonic assault! :-)

    poebegone says If Arcade Fire are close by, I will offer what females for ages have been wont to offer in order to get what they want: Good food. Which I may lace with potions if the occasion allows it. Nice BDB cover, haven't heard that one before.

    joeybenavides says That pic looks like it was taken at this year's Coachella show. The Arcade Fire was hands down one of the best concerts there. Regina spent half of the show holding that heavy hurdy-gurdy, with this huge "I'm having a great time" smile on her face.
