ever heard of as the official band of emergent Christianity.OK, I suppose that some people have heard of Arcade Fire. But not me. Now I'll have to buy their music. Here's Rick:
An indictment of the American religious condition and Western culture that is only saved through personal responsibility for the needed changes based in community and hope for the future sounds like a Christian movement I want to be a part of. In fact, it sounds like a Christian movement I am part of. And that is why consider Arcade Fire the official band of Emergent.

Still, I think I'm finally beginning to get this emergence thing figured out. You're making *some* of the mistakes the "Spirit of" Vatican II people did, but at least, like them, your intentions are good...which is more than I can say for the "Christianity defined by Hatred in the Lessons of Ayn Rand" crowd.
Unbelievable! Shame on you, Tony Jones! How dare you question something as canonical as AF?!
Before Bon Iver, There was Arcade Fire. And they were good.
You're not even worthy to re-post Rick's stuff. Unbelievable.
I heard Leonard Sweet tell a crowd multiple times how amazing arcade fire was so I bought the CD and listened to it twice. Since Sweet is beyond emerging now let's let him have arcade fire.

Romantica is the sometimes-house band at House of Mercy in St. Paul and a great band in the tradition of Wilco/Ryan Adams. They've always reminded me of the house music at Solomon's Porch and they have a very earthy sound to compliment their tales of love, God, and Belfast.
I thought it was The Janks.
