Wouldn’t it be so great if something so obviously corporate-backed and hipster-fed turned out to be amazing after all?

When you think about it, music can be compared to the difference between kiddie rollercoasters, and humongous, death-defying coasters.

There are still songs about love, but even the love songs sound wiser, more ferocious, more bitter, and ultimately more hopeful. Vivian Girls have grown up.

A band like Arcade Fire has a hell of a lot more in common with Katy Perry than it does with Daniel Johnston.

I sense a spirit of love that infuses the music with soul and self-expression. And if you think this description suggests a kitsch twee puke-fest, then I’d have sorely done the depth and strength of their music an injustice.

There’s been a focus on reviews this week. And not much dialogue going on. So the chart reflects that.

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to be in a popular band and play on stage at a sold out show to a front row of people with their iphones held aloft, recording the moment for later playback rather than living than moment.
