I'm thinking V2 are hoping that Broken Social Scene are gonna
get big on the strength of Arcade Fire. Them all being from the province
of Canada. It works like that you know. It's a mucky old business. Check
out the obvious reissue of You Spin Me Round coming out at the end of Jan
courtesy of Dead or Alive's Pete (the lips) Burns for more
proof. These people want money... your money to be precise and should you part
with your hard earned for the Broken Social Scene album? Well it's a
mixed bag skittering from genre to genre but with an overall feel of early Mercury
Rev/ Flaming Lips (ie the noisier stuff) with some Sonic Youth and Arcade
Fire (lazy reference point I know..) chucked in for good measure. So many
ideas in the mix but then there are 17 of them, so that's a lot of musical
brains spilling everywhere and a tremendous scope for fallouts/ arguing. Yah it's good.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
