Arcade Fire Blues
Getting shut out of five landmark shows next wek at Judson Church, less than five blocks from my home, is hard to take. So I'll just post this video from Rock The Seine last summer. The song is called No Cars Go, one of my favorites from the new album, Neon Bible.
is their first album as excellent as this cut?

here's the question - would you pay to see it a few days later in a youtube-like video streamer - a la Baeble?
and maybe in the future Baeble will start doing pay per view real-time footage. how cool would that be?

"No Cars Go" was one of my favorites from their EP. I like the new take on it they included in "Neon Bible." Still, I think my favorite track from the new album is "Keep the Car Running" - just can't get enough of that song.

Was shut out of the 5 Montreal shows as well. I understand the pain... Reviews were incredible!

I heard rumors that they were selling limited regular priced tickets at the door for the first two shows...

Rumor is true. They are selling tickets at the door. Talked to a guy who got some tonight, said he got there at seven.
Show was absolutely amazing, lives up to the hype.
