VIDEOS: Radiohead "All I Need" & Arcade Fire "My Body is a Cage"

Here are two fan-made videos for Radiohead & The Arcade Fire, both were done by J. Tyler Helms using footage from the 1996 film "Microcosmos" (Radiohead) and Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" (Arcade Fire). Both are pretty great examples of why Youtube is better than TV.

Henry DOES love his Whirlyball like a motherfucker.

Apparently Henry challenged Arcade Fire to Whirlyball last week. The word on tha' street is ol' Arcade Fire are quite aggressive Whirlyball players. They supposedly gave Team Chunklet a run for their money. Man, I knew Canadians were aggressive. You can't fool me with that laid back exterior, ay.

Full show recording of Arcade Fire's Atlanta Show from 5/01/07

Rich over at Cable and Tweed, recorded the 5/01/07 Arcade Fire show in Atlanta @ The Civic Center and put it up for everyone's listening pleasure, here (via Sendspace). Thank you, Rich!!! I enjoyed his review of the show as well. I do count myself as a big Arcade Fire fan, but not a overly gushing one. I agree that that they are very good, but there are some other bands I do put above them. That being said, I am sad I missed the show but $32.00 + fees?! Too much, and that's why I didn't go. Bring those ticket prices down and I might show up next time. I just saw Sunset Rubdown for $8, and it was mind-blowing.

EDIT: I just listened to some of this show, and well...dammit Arcade Fire!!! You sounded so damn good!! But $37 bucks?!! Come on now. I'm sure bringing that down to $20 wouldn't have hurt you any. Because it sure hurt me not to go. Especially after hearing this. I guess I'll just have to get a better paying job.

VIDEO: Beirut "The Gulag Orkestar (Live)" [with Final Fantasy & members of Arcade Fire]

Last Sunday, May 6th, Beirut performed at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC with openers Final Fantasy. Both bands helped each other out during their respective sets, but it was during Beirut's set that members of both Final Fantasy & Arcade Fire came on stage for a truly ovation worthy performance of "The Gulag Orkestar". P'fork reader, and all around great guy, Jason Schupper, captured this footage and uploaded it to YouTube.
