Huw Bunford has said of McCartney's contribution: "He took it with good nature. You kind of see how far you can go sometimes … we figured we already had a bass and singers so we really didn't need any more musicians. So we figured he could crunch vegetables".
Oh, those cheeky bastards!
Joe, from the few samples you provided, I can tell I will want to hear more. I noticed an SFA channel on YT that I will sample at a later time. I really like Hometown Unicorn. It's like Weezer singing the Grateful Dead (I really like both). From 2:20 to 2:50 there is a Cosmic Charlie-like lilting of music and lyrics. And speaking of lyrics, what a cool song Ellie chose to walk down the aisle to.
Gnik – I really do like Jazz, both old and new. It's just that I spend so much of my hard earned pay on Rock music; either playing catch-up on the stuff I love but don't own or new stuff I start digging and just gotta have (curse you, Joe and your SFA!). That's kinda what I meant when I said I didn't have a Jazz act in mind that I couldn't live without. I do listen to a lot of it when the missus and I are doing our chores around the house. Very soothing.
mr. S – I'll check out AF later today. I got a kick out of your story about driving "down" to Watertown, NY. When I lived in NY, Watertown was "way up there"!
The sharing of music in this thread is fantastic. Please keep it up, everyone!
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, Let it roll for all its worth.

I loved it – very Beatles-ish. It's as if Paul wrote an upbeat musical track for which John or George wrote the lyrics. Between these guys and Joe's recommendation of SFA, I have a lot of new music to listen to this weekend.
Thanks guys!

I will pay the person who explains to me why Rush is so popular 1 million dollars.

Good to hear. I was playing them earlier – so great.

I really liked the old, old Rush (pre 1980). I've seen them in concert 3 times. I didn't really care for anything they did after 1980.
Since I can't explain why they are so poular, you can keep your money. Put it towards some new music instead!

I just steal my brother's stuff. It saves me the cash and gives him some belief I'm changing my tastes. Here's another of his great findings: The Cave – Mumford and Sons. And, his favourite: Dust Bowl Dance.

Hear, hear.
Though I'll admit I haven't given them much chance other than what's on the radio.

Mumford and Sons got quite big over here. If you haven't already, I'd give Little Lion Man a listen. They're alright.

I've got that album on now. Little Lion Man is what, track seven? *checks cover* Yep, 7. I've got Dust Bowl Dance playing now. I just love how the singer sings these lyrics. Especially how he sings "the noose around your neck" in The Cave.

I think Little Lion Man played on EVERY radio station nonstop for most of the past year. Except maybe classic rock stations.
Anyway, I did buy that album. Haven't listened to it enough yet, that's for sure! I've yet to load it onto my computer.

Mumford and Sons are amazing. I would really like to see them in concert. They make banjos cool. The Cave is such a good song.

Pun intended?
I don't think Arcade Fire have ever done anything that wasn't genius.
I don't mind Mumford and Sons either, though their musical tracks sound eerily similar in every song. My favourite song of theirs is Winter Winds.

Certainly not intended. And I agree wholeheartedly.

Okay, Arcade Fire fans, what album would you recommend to a new listener to start off with?
(There have been so many posts on how good they are that I am expecting a band of Beatles calibre, just fyi. )
