Arcade Fire

"Funeral" by The Arcade Fire has got to be one of my most favorite albums of all time. It took a little getting used to, but I think I've listened to it like, a hundred times. Or less, who knows. I was on YouTube today watching Arcade Fire videos and came across this one:

I love it because they all just stand up there and perform their heads off, yelling and playing. I was watching the lead singer and thinking to myself how uncharacteristically uncharasmatic he was, and I realized that there are 8 of them on stage (9 if you count Bowie), and to have a boisterous attention-hungry lead singer just wouldn't work. My little sister says to me the other day, "Whitney, have you seen Labrynth? It has Davey Bows in it." I love how she knows she's supposed to know who he is, but just has no idea.



Not only is it fucking awesome, but the description really reeled me in:
"If you don't cry watching this, you are dead inside."
And the comment below it?
"Jesus Herbert Walker Christ, I cried."
