I think my iTunes is a kind of strange and embarrassing mix of show tunes and artists that I have no perception of whether or not they're huge or not, you know? I'm the kind of person who doesn't realize that The Arcade Fire is a big deal, but then I expect everybody to know Cocoon, and people tend to not know Cocoon.
I thought I would be in a band like Arcade Fire or be like Fiona Apple - but pop just made sense to me.
Arcade Fire seems to be doing very well; certainly, Phoenix is doing very well.
Arcade Fire has kept their indie cred. They will sell out stadiums yet still have underdog status. But when you're a band like Coldplay, people are waiting to knock you down.
Arcade Fire always churns out music that makes me want to move.
If I could be anyone, I'd choose the lead singer of Arcade Fire, Win Butler.
Arcade Fire has such intimacy and epic-ness, at the same time, and that's really inspiring.
I met Arcade Fire on their first record, 'Funeral.' I loved that record, and it was a record I was listening to while I wrote 'Where the Wild Things Are.' Those songs - especially 'Wake Up' and 'Neighbourhood' - there's a lot of that record that's about childhood.
If you're able to arrange a trial period with a new hire, do it. It will give both of you a chance to make sure the position is a good fit - and can help you avoid being in the awkward situation of wanting to fire someone three or four weeks in.
These natives are a very good people; for when they saw that I would not remain, they supposed that I was afraid of their bows; and, taking their arrows, the broke them in pieces and threw them into the fire.
The musket, always a muzzleloader, took minutes to reload; an archer could aim and fire up to a dozen arrows in a minute. Muskets required continual cleaning and repair; bows were quickly made and easily maintained.
I always had a pretty serious fascination with fire. Luckily I'm not an arsonist!
O! for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.
Is there any pleasure in anger? Yes, if the fire of my anger appeases the ashes of my friends.
Leaders should lead as far as they can and then vanish. Their ashes should not choke the fire they have lit.
The widespread assumption is that somehow, the brain produces the mind; somehow millions of neurons fire signals at one another create or produce consciousness... but we have no idea how or why this happens. I'm afraid that in many cases, people in the tech world fail to understand that.
Confidentially, the type of male I find most enjoyable for a friend is one who has enough fire and assurance to speak up for his convictions.
Very near Auch, Lectoure, and Mirande, great fire will fall from the sky for three nights. A most stupendous and astonishing event will occur. Very soon afterwards, the earth will tremble.
Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.
I went with Atlantic because I got a lawyer to look at my contract and my contract was fire.
