Hm. I’m super sensitive and I think the comments are actually for the most part pretty nuanced and thought out … (though I do feel harshness coming from your comments, in a general way …)

Exactly …

Feeling pretty clear that there are ppl who want to end the band, and who are making attempts to shut them down ….

I know some ppl at NPR … there’s a lot going on there, a big shift ….

The “maybe” is ambivalent, but in the case it is true you feel wronged, Pasha, I don’t think this here is a path to healing — my sensibilities may be wrong, but I just don’t think you will find what you are looking for here…. Hope you find wholeness.

Timing is interesting. Right when the 2 festivals confirmed. Capitalizing on clicks?

Anyone else hate the purgatory we're in re. AF's future? by the-boxman in arcadefire

My guess is that they will be playing different days (both venues have a std festival spread of days, 31st Aug-2nd Sept); note AF is the headliner, and that Florence + The Machine is also listed as playing both festivals … I’m going to Portugal … saw them many years back there, best concert I’ve seen, amazing crowd

Check out the AF site: in August there’s one in Portugal, one in Spain

Half Light I: In the passenger seat, riding down remote highway, our 2 kids in the backseat; late afternoon summer light dappled by the trees, this song comes on and the curves of the road timed with the music. That was a few years ago, I still think of it every time I hear the song.

Redemption is what I feel … they bring me back to myself every time. Looking at the pain, finding joy, moving through it. Just feels very authentic … validating.

You’ve got it. 100%.

I know the bully story too… but what you said is it, whether they intended it or not. When the creative spirit moves through you, she does her work whether you’re aware or not …
