This week on Awkward Silences, we tackle the suburbs by way of The Arcade Fire's new album of that name. We also manage to tie in discussions on live concerts, Glee, growing up, the Tea Party movement, World Town Planning Day and Nazis. With a line up like that, who needs jokes in the introduction?
Also, apologies to Andrew Morton. We finished recording the episode approximately twenty minutes before he both commented on last week's show and added himself as a follower. Thanks Andrew!
