"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

"...an agglomeration of mannerisms, cliches and devices."
  10:20am
Mark Williams:

it's short enough to cut & paste:

People who enjoy this album may think I'm cloth-eared and unperceptive, and I accept it's the result of my personal shortcomings, but what I hear in Arcade Fire is an agglomeration of mannerisms, cliches and devices. I find it solidly unattractive, texturally nasty, a bit harmonically and melodically dull, bombastic and melodramatic, and the rhythms are pedestrian. It's monotonous in its textures and in the old-fashioned, nasty, clunky 80s rhythms and eighth-note basslines. It isn't, as people are suggesting, richly rewarding and inventive. The melodies stick too closely to the chord changes. Win Butler's voice uses certain stylistic devices - it goes wobbly and shouty, then whispery - and I guess people like wobbly and shouty going to whispery, they think it signifies real feeling. It's some people's idea of unmediated emotion. I can imagine Jeremy Clarkson liking it; it's for people in cars. It's rather flat and unlovely. The album and the response to it represent a bunch of beliefs about expression and truth that I don't share. The battle against unreconstructed rock music continues.

Haha! I love the specific “gritty old NYC” arguments… Especially now that I live in Bay Ridge and most people have no idea what that place is. Anyone ever come home at 2:00am and find glass and blood on their block? Or see homeless people live in ATM vestibules? Or have to confront people who sneak into the building to try and push in unlocked apartment doors?

Gritty old NYC still exists! The rent is cheaper! It still sucks!

Bonus Points: When I tell some people I like riding the bus to my neighborhood because it’s more reliable than the subway at times and they are baffled at the idea of someone riding the bus.

Stay in your little Brownstone bubble and get excited when you find a new kind of craft beer at the corner store you call a “bodega” despite the fact it is not an bodega.

@mick: i just googled that and while it seems from the reviews that she actually might be engaging in that kind of nostalgia or at least hatred of current nyc, i agree with her that there are too many cupcake shops and just too much food here in general. as someone who doesn't especially like food, im irritated that my generation is so obsessed with it (no wonder 70% of americans are overweight!) and they'd all rather have brunch or cutesy cupcakes than actually DO anything. whatever happened to young and hungry???

@polyus: very true, it's so often economic as well which is a huge problem in poorer communities. i actually gained weight at a time in my life when i was very very poor, because i lived in north philly and had no money and it was very difficult to afford or even find anything remotely healthy.

@Bronwyn-No, I was LAMENTING the days when you could make fun of fat people. Guess I am a monster. It served a function, though. You did nothing wrong.

@Polyus-oh. I did not realize that. It did need re-stating. In Poland these problems are far less prevalent, though.

I think relaxing and taking time with one's food is a good and healthy thing, the Instagraming of meals is another matter (and might be creating the illusion that young people are spending all their time sitting around eating). Agree about the Netflixing, though.

I will say this about my current dietary change: It’s weird to be at work, do work and not feel stressed… I think I basically have been just wired too much thanks to the caffeine.

But I did binge on a roll of Lifesavers yesterday. So I am flawed.

I am a skinny guy that is actually fat. In the 90's I was a 32 waist, now I am a 36 in denial that I am really a 38!

In extremely poor areas of cities, they do not have supermarkets, only convenience stores for food. This is a shame. It leads to an extremely poor diet.

Why doesn’t someone do something about all the problems, Neil.

@WN - Yes, the food desert. Convenience stores stocked with junk food.

when i lived in north philly, i bought a bag of lettuce at the piss poor excuse for a grocery store. i opened it up at home and it turned out to be rotten. it smelled terrible. to get healthy food, i would have had to go to the reading terminal or something, and i didn't have time or money to go there. so the obesity problem in many ways has its roots in socioeconomics BUT it's also cultural, too. it's a many-headed hydra.

When I was buying every John Cale record I could get my hands on, Artificial Intelligence was the one that made me go, "er, no, this one goes back on the sell pile". That track actually sounded pretty good in the context of this show though. Leave it to JA to find the one good bit.

Yes, the free market, or invisible hand or whatever, has done a very poor job in food deserts. It's long past time for a different approach.
