Iman and Hel Do SNL- This Week, Arcade Fire – By Us

Win Butler and Régine Chassagne are the husband and wife leads of the band Arcade Fire.
I was not to familiar with them, but did a bit of leg work so I’m not accused of being uneducated.  I’m also trying to google 12 songs but these jacks don’t have that many.  From first glance, I can tell you there are far too many people in this band, its a village.  They are the epitome of artsy bastard hipsters.  From the plain Jane thrift store house dresses on Ms Chassagne, to the idiotic art school posturing of the rest of the gaggle.
So there’s your preconceived notions.
So how was there performance?
Just as I expected really.  Grungy discount rack grad students with giant egos and lots of hip friends.
Lets go grab a box of Zinfandel and talk about Colbert.
I’m alone.
Iman likes them, they’re good.  Felt the performance was ‘good’ and defended their hygiene with ‘ever know a rock star that didn’t know a shower?’ Praised it with  a ‘restrained roar’
(but I have a sneaking suspicion it wouldn’t be restrained if he thought for a moment I wouldn’t bitch for hours about how he is wrong.  Hes a true gent)
 Over all the entire episode was a travesty aside from
MY MAN KANYE saving it, well a Kanye and Bush spot on Weekend Update,
Where Bush shouts

“I love Black People!”

yeah… that’s it.
