Match 9 (Round 1)

i saw arcade fire last night!! the best gig i have ever been to in my life hands down

#800 - Funeral - Arcade Fire

Despite having been one of my biggest musical betrayals, starting with their fifth album and culminating in the revelation of Win Butler being a giant creep...this still holds up. One of the defining indie rock albums, a work that, had Butler's vocals been more confident, would have gotten a perfect score. As it stands, Pitchfork had it right.

97/100

what the actual fuck, win butler? 

i loved arcade fire so much. now i can’t even listen to arcade fire anymore and i am so fucking heartbroken.

even now i still can’t believe that win did what he did. how could someone who seems so socially conscious do something like that? arcade fire’s song porno seems so disgustingly ridiculous now. i hate win butler now, i hate him so much.

i think i understand the concept of heartbreak a bit better now. it’s when you love something so, so much and then suddenly you realise you can’t love it anymore, instead you hate it. heartbreak is a swift decline from overwhelming love to overwhelming hate. and that’s how i feel about arcade fire.

obviously the rest of arcade fire cannot be blamed for win’s actions. régine deserves so much better, and she didn’t have to defend him. but win’s sexual misconduct has taken a toll of many people’s perceptions of arcade fire, including my own. i will never see them in the same way again.

people talk about trying to “separate the art from the artist”. my dad (and hella ignorant mum) still listen to arcade fire. in my dad’s case it’s because he’s kinda  managed to separate the music from win butler. (in my mum’s case it’s because she doesn’t fucking care and only knows like two of their songs, she always insults arcade fire’s music when i play it, but suddenly she’s gushing about how much she likes their music... but that’s a whole other rant). i can’t help but wonder if “separating the art from the artist” is ok, rather than having to let go altogether. i mean, michael jackson also did some horrible things and people still play his music everywhere.

i’ve really wanted to discuss this topic with people for a while but nobody has been interested. is it ok to listen to an artist’s music if the artist themselves has harmed people, as long as their harmful actions/opinions aren’t reflected in their music? i first started considering the topic when i learnt about morrissey’s political views. i guess i’ve been fixating on this question because of my moral ocd. 

as i said before, i am very heartbroken. to be honest, i don’t think i’m gonna get over this. i guess i’m going to have to say goodbye to arcade fire.

my heart goes out to those who were directly impacted by win’s sexual misconduct. their heartbreak must be infinitely greater than my own. they are all so brave to have spoken out and i really hope they’re doing ok. 

fuck you, win butler!

Dia marcado por grandes festas. Para os nostálgicos, Smashing Pumpkins. Para os outros, os que vivem a música que se faz agora, os Parcels e os Arcade Fire. Dois dos três dias esgotados, o que sobra a esgotar. É quase sempre assim. Ir ao NOS Alive parece ser cada vez mais uma (boa) obrigação. Por volta de 160 mil pessoas esperadas em todos dias do evento. É obra. E nós a caminho. Texto e fotos,…
