Heard myself some Arcade Fire today, and realized I hadn't listened to them much since 2006 because they make music that lends drama to those young lives that lack any real drama of their own. And now I'm too old for drama. Thus: the music of people giving up. Like Nico's
Chelsea Girl, or any Hank Williams. Codeine. Alex Chilton pre-1985.
With maybe the exception of this.
