Arcade Fire goes to High School round up
Montreal's finest (sorry Dears) are about to release their new album "Neon Bible," and in their first show premiering the new material, the band played in the cafeteria of their guitarist's former high school. Pitchfork had exclusive access, so you can read about it here.
Anyone else still annoyed that both New York and Montreal get five-show runs and Toronto has nothing? Most people would even be willing to see the band in a horrible venue like the Kool Haus, so I wonder what the deal is. I succinctly remember that it was Toronto that gave the band it's buzz well before Pitchfork or anyone else got behind the band. So Arcade Fire, if you are reading this, please please come to the city soon! Give us five days too! Hell, if you are so inclinded, why don't you guys just do fifty days in Sneaky Dees. That's cool with me.
Here's a video of the band playing in the cafeteria. It's their new single "Intervention."

I wasn't annoyed, but i am now that i am aware of this snubbery. i'm not driving to NYC just for the show...or am i....? [amazing excuse for a] Road trip!!!
and look at you go, blogging like a madman still!
You know, a trip across the border to NYC would be a blast... but those Arcade Fire tickets are essentially impossible to get. And as for the "madman" blogging... I'm just getting some stress out I suppose. And hey, add me to your blogroll man!
I'll show you to mine if you show me to yours...
jk, been meaning to do that for a while now.
