It will be called Neon Bible...



... or at least it might be.

Around six o'clock today, someone found my site searching for 'arcade fire bible'.
Two hours ago, I received a mail from the F. Murray Conscription, looking very much like spam, asking me:
is it ne0n Bi*ble? She likes it.
A little while ago, Zane Lowe played the studio version of 'Intervention', and Jesus, is that organ something. It knocks you down, the size of it, like an evangelized mass leaving church. The drums kick in and the world is changed. The Arcade Fire sound like a family now, I swear it is as good as I had hoped.

Intervention (live on KCRW)

You can go to this site. You can dial that number. I think I just might.
The very curious among you might go here.
{The Neon Bible is a book written by the young John Kennedy Toole, who would later write the much more famous A Confederacy of Dunces. Here's a neon bible in Texas.}


You and her both are looking for NE0N BIB*LE; Revolutionary safe new Program really works. Count on Time to work it out--*wink* *wink*

1-866-NEON-BIBLE ext. 7777

how doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people how is she become as a widow she that was was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary she weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.But Thou wouldst not deprive man of freedom and didst reject the offer, thinking, what is that freedom worth if obedience is

bought with bread? Thou didst reply that man lives not by bread alone.

But dost Thou know that for the sake of that earthly bread the
spirit of the earth will rise up against Thee and will strive with

Thee and overcome Thee, and all will follow him, crying, "Who can

compare with this beast? He has given us fire from heaven!"

Evan, I don't think I can put it up for download, so just enjoy it as a nice stream for now, I guess. But it is amazing. If you're in the UK or Ireland, you can find some cheap extension codes online for phoning canada.

Also, anonymous, I doubt the band are that interested that they'd be so sneaky to collect mails. if you put your mail on their old site, that's how I got it, I think.

song is kind a boring. cheesy lyrics. expected something a little more exciting /ORGINAL from the arcade fire


organ, plus whiney vocals doesn't equal greatness

I think it's very ORGINAL.

Evan, it's toll free in the US. I think.

Yeah, I actually ended up checking it out. Pretty nifty. The sound quality is pretty bad, but it's still weird/interesting to listen to!

I'm pretty sure what they were actually looking for was the Flaming Fire Illustrated Bible Project, which is the art project of NYC-based freak rock group Flaming Fire. They've played with the likes of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Death By Doll. I recommend them without hesitation or qualificationh.
