Why is Wim Butler such a fat head? Every time he opens his big mouth he trips over his tongue and comes off like a member of Kings Of Leon.
Here he is on we, the Arcade Fire fans: “”We haven’t had one pop radio hit that gets bludgeoned to death.
“At our shows people aren’t coming just to hear one song. I feel really lucky that our audience has a different relationship to our music than Katy Perry fans do. It means the audience aren’t waiting around to hear ‘the hit’ with the rest of the tracks not moving them
“This album was a story we wanted to tell. It’s the kind of album that, in ten years time, you’ll come back to and rediscover a song you hadn’t heard properly.It’s like a double in the old days and I always take the long view with records.”
Er, if you have no hits why would people be waiting for the hits. And since Katy has loads of em,.what does waiting for the hits actually mean.”
Plus: surely the comparison is not Katy but Bowie or Springsteen, both of whom have BOATLOADS of hit singles.
Are you happy your fans aren’t like Bruce’s fans?
Finally, they are all waiting to singalong to “Wake Up” so shut your fucking face.
