Somebody just made a shiatload of residual moneys.

Yeah, but The Arcade Fire forgot to ask Echo and the Bunnymen and David Bowie if they could nick huge bits of their styles, so...

fox's? really subby?

I'm pretty sure I've heard "No Cars Go" during FOX NFL broadcasts during the season.

/great song

paulseta If you're going to nick anyone's style, why would you choose EATB?

paulseta: Yeah, but The Arcade Fire forgot to ask Echo and the Bunnymen and David Bowie if they could nick huge bits of their styles, so...

I think Bowie might have let it slide by this point

wildrufus: paulseta If you're going to nick anyone's style, why would you choose EATB?

Yeah. I would choose Julian Cope.

Pot meet kettle, subby

Have a listen to Ocean Rain. Sounds a lot like Neon Bible in feel and production. Still, everything is ripped off everything, isn't it.

/Except The Shaggs. They are truly, truly original.

With a heavy dollop of Bruce Springsteen on top of it, actually.

It was a AWESOME concert... though I have to say that the nights "Life of Mars" wasn't doing it for me

What do you expect from a group of young segment producers raised on sampled tracks and pirated music? Originality?!

OMG!!! FOX ARE TEH MUSIC PIRATES

I'm sure that Fox pays royalties to ASCAP and BMI, thus making this a non-issue.

Arcade Fire sucks slimy whale taint

M-G: I'm sure that Fox pays royalties to ASCAP and BMI, thus making this a non-issue.

I came in here to say this. Songs in promos for broadcasters are routinely paid via BMI or one of the other groups.

So as long as they do this, an artist has no repurcussions for how their music is used? Doesn't sound right to me. I know record deals are pretty one sided, but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

If they sold the publishing, they are SOL.

Arcade Fire sucks anyways. There is so much better indie out there.

The music you like sucks. The music I like is much better.

About par for the course for Pitchfork. Realize that bands often don't find out their music was used in a promotional manner until a fan tells them. Were it an ad, then we'd have news.


Now That's What I Call a Taco!:

If they've signed their rights away, yes. If they didn't there's still not much they can do other than collect from ASCAP/BMI/SESAC and ask that they knock it off.

Mike the Chosen: The music you like sucks. The music I like is much better.

No, the music YOU like sucks.
The music I like is much better!

ElTaco: Arcade Fire sucks anyways. There is so much better indie out there.

No, they don't.

See? I can do this too. It's fun making opinion statements that sound like fact.

not a genre.

ridcullylives: ElTaco: Arcade Fire sucks anyways. There is so much better indie out there.

Except they do suck, that is a fact

steamingpile: Except they do suck, that is a fact

Your fact is misinformed, and I call into question your family tree and your ablity to enjoy heterosexual relations.

And MY ablity to spell.

Gotta agree with Paulseta, nothing sounds like them. We can only hope it stays that way. Ladies and gentlemen...the Shaggs!!!
