which one was he?i think arcade fire are fine. i'm not a big fan but they're no lumineers.

fwiw the PSpree comparison has nothing to do with style of music and everything to do with the number of ppl on stage and how much fun they appear to be having

Wasn't everyone in Texas a member of Polyphonic Spree at some point?

adding two drummers from the caribbean for a tour is such an amazingly 80s gimmick. waiting on a red red wine cover.

I'd guess the model is I Zimbra/Remain In Light era Talking Heads, with additional disco dub 12"s.

best meta episode of SNL was the Charles Grodin ep from (I think) season 1?
No, third season. See bumped Grodin thread.

Personally I loved the line in the drunk ex-porn stars sketch about "some shoes are flat... they are for nurses." Truth bomb right there.

fwiw I loved those Arcade Fire performances and the subsequent concert was so much fun, I might actually be getting into the band after years of my husband trying to make me like them.
