This is just some late-breaking news from Randalls Island in NYC where the Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem played for a massive crowd of fans on an indian summer evening: During the Arcade Fire's set Win Butler announced (hopefully exaggerated) that they are not going to be back to New York for "a few years." Now does this mean they are not going to tour at all? Are they on a musical hiatus? One can only speculate at this juncture, however, the show they put on tonight was spectacular with no holds barred. There was an ornate and complex light show and a larger than life set up on stage. My favorite moment was watching a drum be broken to bits in a fit of musical bliss by a couple members of the band.
All this to say that the show is what distracted me from putting up some great photos and audio of the good life, a review of Adrian Tomine's Shortcomings, and working on a future post on Randy Macho Man Savage (I'm not kidding.).
Well that's what's in store... keep your ear to the ground til then!
