      Low is making music beyond time and space right now. If the rest of the album is at the level of these two singles it's gonna be close to an historic event of a record

      Songs from the Thirteenth Great Quarantine, Day 28: This song came on while I was eating lunch, leading to long and somewhat dark ruminations about how and why Arcade Fire, once seen as the heir to Radiohead and like, U2, ended up mattering so littlehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGhgx6okuHk …

      Pitchfork named Funeral the #2 album of the 2000s when they compiled their End of the Decade list in late 2009. Would it even make the top 20 now? Would it even make the top *30?*

      I mean if you had told me in 2009 that 11 years later I'd be listening to like, Burial more often than Arcade Fire, and that it wouldn't even be close, I think I'd be like, huh, what the fuck happened? Yet here we are

      Tastes changed—a lot of indiepop aged rather poorly, consumption habits shifted, rock died faster and more completely than anyone expected. Irony beat the shit out of earnestness. AF made great music but also lost their way creatively. And almost nothing today sounds like Funeral

      Or if I could put it very crudely...the Animal Collective sensibility won out over that of Arcade Fire, and it wasn't even particularly close

      I hate that the Pitchfork-ization of indie rock won out. With Funeral you at least felt there was a commercial imperative to be liked by lots of listeners as opposed to art-school wankery. The lack of balance between commercial and artistic ambition is why rock is dying IMO

      In the aughts it felt like bands such as The National, Shins, Interpol etc we’re at least trying to break through to pop culture. Now it seems like indie bands get off on being needlessly challenging to listen to and obscure and the ones that were trying just gave up.

      There is nowhere in the entertainment mainstream for bands to go now if they want to make any variety of rock.

          As I see it there are two remaining routes to mega-fame in what could broadly be considered rock, kinda, and they end up filtering out a ton of interesting stuff: Through hip-hop, like Machine Gun Kelly, or through Jack Antonoff-type quasi-pop, like Lana Del Ray...

          I think that observation is astute… and depressing.

          I guess you've got outliers like The War on Drugs, who are headlining at the Garden next year, but they still have approximately 17.5 million fewer monthly Spotify listeners as Machine Gun Kelly...
