An Arcade Fire song immediately followed by the Dictators' "Who Will Save Rock and Roll?". A bit of artistic commentary?

"Month of May" - Arcade Fire

One of their worst songs, IMO.

Nope. I like Arcade Fire. Granted, I'm kinda meh about their most recent album. But I've liked their previous ones, and the show I saw in CO in 2011 was great.

I didn't expect the inclusion of that one to get the board's attention -- not with U2 and Duran Duran also in the set. (Although those two selections served a purpose.)

I like that theme spread out through your shows. But what are you going to do for "The Paradine Case"?
