do you know what the xmas record was? it was a christmas party at the arcade fire people house two years ago at which many attendees decided to record christmas songs. it's not even the band this thread is about doing the songs, by any stretch of the imagination...

Last fall I worked in this "office" related to the NYC indie rock music INDUSTRY, and they put that album on ALL the time.
They're a okay/good band, with an okay/good record, but are they great, or amazing, or "saviors" of something? No. And it pisses me off that hipster and industry types each this shit up.
They are perhaps the most overrated band of the last 12 months, and for that I'll give them CRAP.

Have you seen them live yet? I thought the album was 'okay' until I caught their live show. It was brilliant. One of the best shows I've seen in years. I've never seen that many (7) people in a band where all of them were rocking out the most. The instrument switching and the reckless abandon they played with were thrilling.
I mean, there was a physical altercation (humorous) between the guitarist/singer and the keyboard/percussion dude that happened during the first song and all this shit got knocked down, yet the song kept roaring along anyway even as instruments dropped out.
They did the songs with a lot of nuts and it sounded great. They really won over the crowd over the course of the set, too. In chicago, people often just fold their arms and frown, but people actually let loose and were singing along and dancing and shit, all the way to the back.
I give them a thumbs up live.

Part of the problem of this thing is that last bastion of integrity, pitchfork had erroneously stated that that "Arcade Fire Christmas" was in fact them. It was not. Pitchfork recanted the error in a half ass way, yet has managed to remove that bit of evidence (I searched for it) from their site since they did the new revamping.
