If you only read one piece about the Arcade Fire this year, make it this one. Here’s a great sample:

There were church organ pipes along the wall behind the pulpit, but they did not use the church organ for the church organ parts. Disappointing. Also, no one playfully ripped out Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor, which should be the very first thing you do when fucking around with music in a church.

Rock on. We gotta hurry back to H-town so’s we can snag Neon Bible. Who the hell knows if they have Montreal weird-art-rock in Maryland?
