I found this and thought you might like it. It’s Arcade Fire doing a cover of Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, exclusive for BBC online. There’s a live version of Rebellion (lies) and an interview that went out on Jo Whiley’s show. Enjoy!

They're on Top of the Pops tonight... I can't really imagine them next to the Sugababes

Damnit! I think I logged off just before you posted that. I don’t think they repeat TOTP anymore either.
I trust they were as good as usual? I can’t remember much of the Jools Holland performance as I was quite drunk at the time, so I really wish I’d seen them tonight.
If you’re having trouble with the bbc playback thingy, try using IE instead of Mozilla. Firefox can be a bit temperamental with it.

I've never posted to the site before, but I've been watching this thread: http://forums.arcadefire.net/viewtopic.php?id=2090&p=3
I'm not sure about the technical stuff, but looks like someone might be putting a link up soon
They were great
I'll give IE a go

Niceone Footie! I’m downloading it now. I’ll let you know what I think later.
Depeche Mode were on too! When did TOPT start showing decent groups?!

I know, what were they doing on there?!
When did they start having old clips on there too? I thought it was just top of the pops 2 that did that

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss! Finally finished downloading! I just love how intense they are. They’re so into it, you can really feel the energy! I’m quite drunk again, so I’ll have to watch it again tomorrow to get a more balanced opinion. I’m going to regret drinkingthis whisky tomorrow!
My next mission is to see them in person. If they can get a TOTP audience dancing like that, imagine what a proper gig would be like!
They’re in the top 20!

My prediction about regretting that whisky came true. I had to fight the urge to climb under my desk and sleep through work.
I’ve just watched it again to get the sober point of view and still think they were great!
Doesn’t look like they’re doing any more UK dates this year, so I won’t be seeing them anytime soon. Unless I go crazy and watch them in Rio de Janeiro...

They were playing at the Leadmill in my town sometime last week, I think I saw the review the day after or something
