Arcade Fire on ACL

If you hurry, you can catch the video of Arcade Fire’s appearance on Austin City Limits on the show’s PBS home page.

From the pipe organ’s drone on “Intervention,” to the haunting lyrics of “Neon Bible” (”Take the poison of your age, / Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page, / It was wrong but you said it was right, / In the future I will read at night.”), it’s a mesmerizing show. It reminded me how much I liked their album Neon Bible. I’m listening to it now.
