I like cars more than telephones...

My very first (belated) contribution is an Arcade Fire song that is about six years old - timely now only because this band has been hyped up to the maxx of late. A friend sent me this song last year and it's since made it way all over the place. At a past Arcade Fire show this title was shouted out and the band just seemed perplexed and confused as to how the song ended up revisiting them; now it's part of their set!

I've loved this song since I first heard it. The lyrics are sweet and captured my feelings of wanting to spend time with someone who was living too far away. I admit that I purposely brought it along to listen to on a drive to Montreal to visit, then drove home as the sun was coming up with it playing again.

To help satisfy the new fans I'll share this song, Cars and Telephones, and I'll throw in another oldie recorded at the same time, Sonata.

For their album, Funeral visit Merge Records.


If you're impressed with their (EP) cover art visit Montreal's Serigraphie Populaire.

I think the Sonata link is broken... but thanks for the "Cars and Telephones"!

Hey guys, I found your website through Said the Gramophone, and I just wanted to say that I really like what I see. I shall be returning.

Also, I've been seriously missing the old softer days of the Arcade Fire, so your links are perfect.

Cheers from Montreal

I sent you the mp3, Amy. Meeeeeeee!

Yet I am apparently known to be a jerk. :P

Mean.

"Cars and Telephones" is my second favourite Arcade Fire song, behind "No Cars Go". I want them to sound like that again.

J!
