OK, so I was searching YouTube for Arcade Fire’s Intervention film clip, because the track is amazing and I feel the need to share it with as many people as I can. But instead I came across this: Arcade Fire and U2 doing Joy Division’s Love will tear us apart.

Wonderful stuff. For those who aren’t up on my latest musical love, Arcade Fire is a Canadian band from Montreal. They recently released their second studio album, Neon Bible. I recommend track four, Intervention - it’s incredible. (The first album, Funeral, is also awesome.) They’re playing at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark in a month or so. I’d give anything to be at that - Mike and I had a plan to go to Roskilde a couple of years ago…but work intervened unfortunately. They are also playing in Ferrara, Italy, at the Bands Apart fest (for those of us living in Italy…hint hint). It’s times like these I miss not being closer to the action.

Anyway, check out http://www.arcadefire.com, which has links to everything.
