Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Arcade Fire comes up
Merge Records: Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan
- ▶ 3:33 Guy Raz Keep Merge from going bankrupt, and that income allowed them to make a lot of small bets on lesser-known indie artists, until eventually, in the early 2001 of their bets paid off with the massively successful band Arcade Fire.
- ▶ 44:47 Guy Raz When we come back in just a moment, how Laura and Mac keep their businesses together, even though they have split up, and how Merge eventually makes a big bet on a little-known band called Arcade Fire.
- ▶ 1:00:02 Mac McCaughan Though I do know that after we put out the first Arcade Fire album, more than one booking agent called and said, you know, I could have booked that band. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:00:21 Guy Raz Arcade Fire's funeral. 7 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:05:58 Mac McCaughan I remember Brit from Spoon emailing the day after they played in Austin for the first time, saying, like, I just saw Arcade Fire, and I simultaneously feel like I want to quit music, and, like, I want to start a new band. 6 times in the scene
