Musical orgasm

Words cannot suffice to say how sublimely, life-affirmingly, head-explodingly good Arcade Fire were last night. If the sound mix had actually been perfect, as opposed to messy for the first six or seven songs, I do believe I may actually have either a) died or b) achieved orgasm via the sheer skill, enthusiasm, artistry and wonderfulness of the 10 talented people on stage.

Thanks for the ticket, Ms Sam - I so owe you one!

Arcade Fire are fantastic - I haven't heard bought their latest album though - is it as good as their last?

Wow, how supremely awesome was it? I was embarrassed by my inability to stop from shuffling along.

I just realise I've met you a couple of times through my friend Rowan, who passed away last year. We used to come to Q+A all the time when we were younger. Didn't make the connection, and I've been reading this blog on and off for ages. Small world.

Daniel - yes, it is - not as instantly good, it's a grower; but I also think it's more consistent than 'Funeral'.
