So the Arcade Fire played a show this weekend, made their fans weep when they said they were taking an extended absence, played a Violent Femmes cover and launched a new viral website that does nothing.
All the noise and buzz makes us want to stick our hands in the sand, but we did remember that the AF finally have released (or leaked) their longstanding live cover of France Gall’s “Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son.” It might be her “Satisfaction,” and an obvious choice, but a fantastic song nonetheless. Witness.
