Newfound Respect: Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire




Unlike some artsists whom I thought had more self respect (Death Cab, The Killers, Bon Iver, Thom Yorke...), these are the only two artists who turned down an opportunity to have a song on the new Twight soundtrack, according to Rolling Stone (according to the film's director, Chris Weitz).

I can't explain how bummed I am. I feel like these guys sold out to a group of people who don't deserve to hear their music because they don't try hard enough to find it. Boo.

But then, I suppose for some bands it's a great opportunity. All the more reason why Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire deserve some props. Kudos to you.
