Arcade Fire is Magic in 2002!
Oh Win Butler… What other forms of trickery do you hide up your Canadian sleeves? First healthcare for the masses and now this! Someone better tell our brethren over at A-S about this, the magic. Ok, maybe it’s more of a interactive video than magic but wasn’t this supposed to be the future of music videos like ten years ago?
Yes, if I look back at page 1621 of my diary, dated Oct 8, 1997 it reads as such:
“Swing music is the hottest thing out there and boy am I glad. Soooooo… I’m pretty psyched for this interactive video technology I hear is coming out in the not-too-distant future. I give it five years.”
I’m sorry I had to stop there. Everything else was private.
If you haven’t watched the video yet now would be a good time. While you are enjoying moving Win’s hands around, remind yourself that this is 2007 and things like this were supposed to have happened 5 years ago.
(via)All of the above may sound like I didn’t enjoy the video. Not True. In fact, I would go so far as to say I had fun with it. Yet, I never could shake the feeling that I should have been doing this a long time ago. I’m sorry Arcade Fire. I’m not down with your New-Old technology. Unless it’s Hoverboards. I’m totally ready for that.

awesome.
ha, classic. I thought the same thing when I was looking at the Neon Bible thing too. Like a bunch of guys just got flash. Sure it’s cool but big fucking deal. I mean who’s palms CAN’T rain? Am I right?
Arcade Fire can go suck a dick on the Golden Gate Bridge.
