Arcade Fire Like Ice Cream

Matt writes in:

Hey there, I drove my ice cream truck 1200 miles north to give away ice cream at the Sasquatch Festival at the Gorge in Washington.
Fun! Check out his hundreds of pics of Pixies, Wilco, Ray Lamontagne, Kanye West, etc...

This is my favorite.

Sasquatch was awesome. I posted a few pics, but not nearly as many. I saw the Icecream Man at the gas station the next day. I think he broke down. Must be hard with an desert truck in the dessert.

Filthy Hippies love their ice cream...almost as much as they love not having jobs.

I thought David Lee Roth aka. the Emergency Medical Tech, used to be the Ice Cream Man? Any relation? The new guy doesn't need Rogaine! (Alos noticed that Guitar Center sponsors him, one of Eddies buddies in L.A.) Last question any reports of those thai stick push-ups? (still remember the ones in Nice Dreams/Cheech & Chong movie from your parents era)

i've never liked the Arcade Fire. They sound like the The Rock Horror picture show.

I missed the ice cream truck, I guess... too busy listening to all the great music.

My favorites of the festival were The Frames

The Arcade Fire was great too for having just been in Barcelona the day prior.

sounds like someone loved The Smashing Pumpkins video for "Today". and you all say Billy Corgan's influence has diminished. I think not.

If you don't like the Arcade Fire, you don't like music!
