Arcade Fire x Spike Jonze

Grammy winners Arcade Fire have teamed up with Spike Jonze for a 30-minute short film called Scenes From The Suburbs. If the trailer is any indication, it's going to be intense.

Frontman Win Butler and his brother Will collaborated with Spike on the script, which revolves around a group of teens in a town that is under military control. The film is scheduled to premiere at SXSW and will be out on DVD soon.

Here are some repeat offenders, these records were both way too good not to have a couple tracks off each effort. The Suburbs is arguably the best record of the year, CONCRETE OPINIONS likes Sleigh Bells better but its close.

HTML5

This is the only thing I've seen in awhile that's cool than the ipad, this is a new interactive music video from acclaimed music video director, Chris Milk, that showcases google chrome and YOUR childhood address, all while listening to a track from the great, new Arcade Fire record. The google chrome browser is a free download that is completely customizable and easy to use. Any browser will work for this interactive video but only google chrome supports all the fun tid bits that this video is capable of showing. I have know idea about internet code but it's html5, which is the future of browsing that will replace flash.

Check out this link, plug in your address, and watch this amazing video: a few windows pop up, but don't worry, it's supposed to look like this. Enjoy

Here is my video of my old neighborhood when I lived in L.A. and some links to all this rad technology.
