yeah, but there are a ton of “indie rockers” that really are massive dorks and it’s getting boring and too polite anyway. Arcade Fire, by comparison, are not boring (but you know, maybe a little dorky). I’m glad he responded that way.

i think there need to be more good rock stars out there that will make a big sound and say big nasty things. and clearly he knew the guy who wrote it, so there was a little bit of a personal dig in there too.

It’s not like he responds to every negative review or he called up Rolling Stone to vent about a review. A journalist asked him a question, and he answered it with a tasty soundbite.

He is responding to a question from Rollingstone during an interview. It isn’t like he went out and seemed out an interviewer to talk about this bad review.

“I’m a super-dork because I play with David Bowie. Bruce Springsteen wants to cover my songs because I’m such a dork. I’m not a dork,” he says earnestly. “I’m a fucking rock star.”

God, he sounds like Corgan.
At least Corgan can play guitar.

Scott Gallagher! Congrats on your super scummy clean sweep!

I don’t know I think coming out and owning being a rock star is great. We appreciate it when rappers (“I Am A God”) and pop stars (“Roar”) do self-aggrandizement in a fun/creative way, I don’t know why Arcade Fire should be any different.

Smile Like You Mean It

“Hurry up with my damn massage.”

Yeezus confirmed to be the new Nostradamus prophecies.

I got ham but I’m not a hamster.
I got toast but I’m not a toaster.
I got hips but I’m not a hipster.

let’s remember how interviews work though: sometimes someone asks you a question, and you answer it. Doesn’t mean any more than that.

Earnestly referring to yourself as a fucking rock star is just douchey. But calling someone a dork with a boring sex life in a music review is also a dick move.

Another day, another emo band not worth mentioning.

reflektor sucked anyway, what does it matter?

“I can’t believe (insert your favorite Killers song) was ranked lower than (insert Killers song you believe is inferior)!!!”

Spell check goes a long way. Alternatively just don’t bother trying to ‘report’ on this kind of ‘news’.
