I mentioned that Bradley's Almanac was the first place I heard of Arcade Fire - well the original live set of mp3s that sparked my interest is now available again. So if you missed these the first time now's your chance to hear them - I'm sure they are for a limited time only.
The new album is out now - I haven't got it yet and to be honest I'm still too sore about not being able to get tickets for the Olympia gigs to want to hear it just yet. It would just remind me of the pain. There's still Oxegen though.

Crying into your beer
Went to see Richmond Fontaine on Saturday night in Cyprus Avenue. Always good to see a band in an intimate setting like that. And they were superb - the singer's voice has a real crying into your beer quality, and they sounded a lot bigger than they do on The Fitzgerald (the only album of theirs I have, but that will soon change). The sound was rounded out by pedal steel and trumpet which added a real spaghetti western flavour to some of the songs.
The only gripes I had are no fault of the band - the crowd seemed a bit unexcited, which was odd considering the number of requests shouted out. And the door to the toilets next to us could be heard bashing open and closed every minute or so which was kind of distracting. Surely this is something that can be fixed though?
