Does anyone know if this is being released without the bongo? I've got one, and so has a mate, and that's plenty.
All my usual sources are only selling it in a bundle.
I had the same problem with Jungle Beat - I couldn't get it without the bongos although Nintendo state it is sold separately. Oh well, if this one comes with bongos I'll have 4 sets to keep me happy
The Arcade Fire are possibly the best new band of the past decade. The album is one of those debuts that, while fantastic in its own right, is also very promising for the band's future.
Like, you know how even if you liked the first Strokes album you knew the second would suck? This isn't like that.

I thought the first Strokes album was sad and derivative. And despite the endless Blondie and Ramones comparisons, I thought it sounded NOTHING like those bands - if it had, it would have been good.
But I preferred the second Strokes ablum. I thought he songs were better. F**k what everyone else thinks.
Plus the Strokes ousted the approximately infinitely better Ash from the main stage at Reading-in-Leeds 2001.
I think "wish you were here" is the Incubus track from Morning View, like Drive is from Make Yourself. Basically, they've licensed tracks from:
Good Charlotte (Predictable, The Anthem) Incubus (Drive, Wish You Were Here) Puddle of Mudd, i think (Come Clean, Pieces) REM (Losing My Religion, Shiny Happy People) TLC (Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye, Unpretty)
And so forth. 2 tracks from each of the artists. Makes sense.
Unfortunately, this has made me so excited i now need to pee.
That is an amazing set of songs, right there...
I beg to differ. TLC? Incubus? (maybe if it some older stuff where they really pounded on those bongos), Puddle of Mudd? I don't really know what goes well with pounding on bongos, some Bob Marley maybe!!!??? Geez, and where there any Nintendo tracks in there?
Affectionately* known as "Puddle of Piss" in our household.
*except affectionately.
And Good Charlotte. WTF? Even if one of them is ACTUALLY called Charlotte, their name is still 50% wrong.
And while I am venting my spite and bile... "Shiny Happy People" the song that single-handedly cancelled out all of the great songs REM had released before it.
And "Losing my Religion", what a jolly bang-along tune that is. Why not Stand, and Radio Song? Or End of the World?

If so, then it's bound to be much different here.
