Suddenly all my friends are really into jazzy Arcade Fire. What gives?

    I liked their first album, and the original version of Sunglasses. They def sounded hella influenced by Slint, but the vocalist was cool.

    The second album I saw one of the music videos and it was the straightest fucking thing I have ever seen. Then I listened to that song where the main singer confessed that Charli XCX was his waifu and I was like "fuck this shit". So yeah their a 1 hit wonder imo.

        Oh shit are there gay people in Black Midi?

        I personally found that band more original sound wise imo.

          There’s only one queer person in black midi (cameron’s bi).

          I was referring more to the audience for black midi, whenever I’ve gone to their shows I’ve noticed that there are far more overtly queer people than you’d ever expect in a cross section of society and also during the time I was active on the black midi subreddit it was clear that loads of the users were very queer. Also there was constant thirst posting for Geordie Greep
