So someone from the New Yorker makes a valid point that the most preposterous, pretentious band around at the moment are not what one could call 'funky'...

...so, said band decide to post some crazed MP3 bootmash of their stuff juxtaposed with the tracks by artists-of-black-origin that they were 'inspired' by to prove their spurious point. Dudes, give it up - you are The Arcade Fire. Your singer is the son of a Texan oil billionaire (OFFICIAL CORRECTION - his dad is apparently a geologist) who went to the most expensive school in the United States. Fucking get over yourselves. Yes, U2 & Springsteen are strangely absent. Also, I'm not sure that The Beatles really helps your argument, you fucking humourless dimwits.
