![]() ![]() SAGAL: I think he was offering that as a plus.īUTLER: Yeah, my dad's physician actually suggested he start smoking weed recently. You have a great relationship with your brother. You have a great relationship with your wife, who's in the band. All right - so you have an incredibly successful band playing the music that you create. O'ROURKE: Had that ever been tried before?īUTLER: I think we're the first, actually. P J O'ROURKE: So what drugs are you guys on?īUTLER: I think that's the secret - is no drugs. So I wonder - does that go smoothly all the time?īUTLER: It always goes completely smoothly, yeah. And your little brother Will is also in the band, right? There's never any of that in the band anyway.īUTLER: There's never any passive aggression in bands. It's like, so yeah, that's the bass line you're playing, huh?īUTLER: Oh, yeah, no. SAGAL: I'm just wondering how that would go in a band. SAGAL: So, I mean, I - again, I don't know how I know this, but a lot of marriages devolve into sort of passive aggressiveness. You don't know what it's like not to be married to your band mate. SAGAL: Since you've never been married to anybody else. I mean, it's kind of the - it's the only - I have no basis of comparison. So I'm going to ask you - is it difficult to be married to your band mate?īUTLER: I wouldn't know. SAGAL: And you've been married for a long time. SAGAL: You are married, in fact, to your band mate Regina, right? SAGAL: This is great because actually this is awesome because we have three multiple choice questions about the band Arcade Fire for you. But the band went from being a small group - I'm told that you did your first record for, like, 10,000 bucks.īUTLER: I need the fact checkers on that one. You are one of the biggest-selling bands of the last decade. Well, we've got to talk a little bit about Arcade Fire. You're going to get shanked in Montreal.īUTLER: I wish I felt differently. Does that - have you become a hockey fan? But Montreal is definitely hockey central. ![]() Like, in Toronto, I mean, they've had the team in Toronto for a long time. Do these Canadians understand your love of basketball?īUTLER: They're picking up on it. You moved up to Montreal to go to McGill University, right?īUTLER: I kind of moved to Montreal and then ended up going to McGill just so they wouldn't kick me out of the country. It would just be, like, you against them. SAGAL: Yeah, all of - you would take on, like, the entire Decemberists. I still feel pretty confident.īUTLER: It's all of them, you're talking about, right? SAGAL: Because Colin Meloy is dangerous in the paint - is what I'm saying.īUTLER: Yeah. SAGAL: Do you feel that if you went up against, say, the Decemberists or other great indie bands - that you'd be able to take them in basketball? SAGAL: That's quite a lot of qualifications. And we're told that you are actually quite the player yourself.īUTLER: I'm not bad for an extremely slow, unathletic, undersized power forward. I grew up watching a lot of Hakeem Olajuwon in Houston. Well, I'll tell you what - let's talk about basketball because we understand that you are quite the basketball player.īUTLER: Yeah, yeah. SAGAL: So, first of all, I want to talk about Arcade Fire, your band. So the next time you hear choral harmonies, ethereal instruments and angsty lyrics about your feelings, remember that's the Texas sound. But their founder, Win Butler, is not Canadian. A lot of people think that Arcade Fire is a Canadian band because they were formed in Montreal. And now the game where people who do interesting things answer questions about things they are not interested in. ![]()
