By P4k saying "a communal urgency not unlike the Arcade Fire's" then lesser websites such as this one can say that they are "already been hailed as the next Arcade Fire".<BR/><BR/>That phrase is probably the new death knell for up and coming bands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789468988944916388.post-13573927061932103792008-07-24T15:20:00.000-04:002008-07-24T15:20:00.000-04:00Yeah, check this out: http://www.pitchforkmedia.co...Yeah, check this out: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/46095-wizard-of-ahhhs-ep<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if they were actually called that right out or if it spiraled from the second paragraph of the P4k review (above) from Athens PopFest last year. I think I get what the writer means about "communal urgency," but I would in no way say they're even supposed to be considered in the same category as Arcade Fire.Julia Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252394791095503022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789468988944916388.post-5674074385466362202008-07-24T15:00:00.000-04:002008-07-24T15:00:00.000-04:00Good Lord, did somebody actually call them the "ne...Good Lord, did somebody actually call them the "next Arcade Fire"? Black Kids are a lot of fun, but that's just ridiculous hyperbole. Next Hot Hot Heat, maybe. I don't think they even *try* to be in the same artistic ballpark as Arcade Fire.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362797654696006031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789468988944916388.post-32041534582463466602008-07-24T13:11:00.000-04:002008-07-24T13:11:00.000-04:00I've been watching the Black Kids saga since CMJ a...I've been watching the Black Kids saga since CMJ and was wondering how Pitchfork was going to react, and their review was as hilarious as it was disappointing.<BR/>I'd have to agree with you, simpy fun and fine.

Can't say I necessarily agree with their journalistic technique on that one...<BR/><BR/>It's funny, I didn't actually mean for my review to be quite so glowing. It's definitely not without flaws, but I enjoyed it overall. It came out of editing a lot more one-sided than when I wrote it...and I wrote it really quickly really late at night...guess I should be more careful about stuff like that :)Julia Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252394791095503022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789468988944916388.post-90081538787641713132008-07-24T11:10:00.000-04:002008-07-24T11:10:00.000-04:00The contrast between this and the Pfork review is ...The contrast between this and the Pfork review is staggering. <BR/><BR/>I have the record at home but haven't listened to it just yet.
