return of the fire

I was reminded of a great band this morning - The Arcade Fire. I heard them on Morning Joe as background music (and Ageless Beauty by Stars yesterday, maybe right wing Joe Scarboro likes the Canadians?). Anyway, listend to Funeral today and still stands out as one of this decade's best recordings.

read the NYT article from 2007 here:

apparently, a new album could be forthcoming sooner than we all thought. arcade fire must be in the air as this was released this week: http://www.nme.com/news/arcade-fire/45573

but if you can't wait - here's a mp3 posted of their cover of the clash's guns of brixton: http://tasteslikecaramel.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/the-arcade-fire-discuss-album-3/
