For some reason I had never listened to either of the two albums by Arcade Fire after The Suburbs. I listened to the Reflektor album and thought it was good. I'm listening to Everything Now now and am enjoying more than Reflektor. But I'm seeing Everything Now got so-so reviews. Different strokes for different folks!

So many critical darlings that become popular get unfairly dumped on afterwards. I think Arcade Fire always make good records. Modest Mouse too.

I like Arcade Fire, and their first three albums are brilliant. But the two most recent albums did absolutely nothing for me. Not that I think they're terrible by any means, but the direction they've gone in lately just isn't my cup of tea. Different strokes indeed.
So sorta listen, but I realized that concerts aren't going to come back for a while, so I'm diving into the rabbit hole and looking up concerts and watching them and to be honest a lot of times when I do my lists, it helps me pick bands or singers to dive into the rabbit hole to find.
So for example I did the all girl bands and dove in and found the Go Go's in central park, a great concert to watch because Jane Wiedlin and Kathy Valentine are a really good rhythm section with Gina Schock, and its a very good concert.
I used to really love Meatloaf because there was this combination of Rock and Opera sensibilities with a real theatrical kick, so I found this Night of the Prom concert
The Bangles live in Pittsburgh
Heart 2018 LA
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2018 Rockin Rio
