I have five million things to do, but I have to say this: I went to the Mann Center with [personal profile] sparrow_hawk  to see Arcade Fire touring in support of their new album The Suburbs, which came out today and which I bought last night and which is phenomenal. I met [personal profile] seekingferret there at halftime, which was cool.

ARCADE FIRE ARE AMAZING.

No, seriously, that is it, and that is all. I have seen them twice now on two continents and they are hands-down hands-up the single most uplifting, awesome concert experience I have had.

They still have many shows available in North America and in Europe, and if you like music, you should go. Even if you have never heard their music ever, you will like them--I have dragged two friends who had never heard Arcade Fire ever to the shows with me, and each friend came away saying, "Wow! That was awesome! They are awesome!" Because they are.

If and when they come to the West Coast I am going to see them again. As great as their music is recorded, they are phenomenal live, and listening to the new album reminded me of that.
