actually, i'd hazard a guess that a big part of the reason that i always thought that the arcade fire were terrible is that they actually weren't from montreal - they were from texas.

i don't like explosions in the sky, either.

it's a notable gap. i had friends into them. but, i'm sorry: i thought they were awful from the start.

i went over this once before. i'm not infallible: i missed things. i will miss things, again. but, my net is pretty wide, and i'm not going to miss something like that.

if it's not in the list, and it has any profile at all, the chances are very high that i consciously skipped it. sorry.
