newTunes: Arcade Fire

My NY girl Francesca requested that Charlotte and I suggest some tunes on our blog. We said, yea why not? I thought I would start the tradition here and now. Since Char and I are on Spring Break/ Easter Holidays, as we blog to all of you we are also blogging to each other. It will be a little taste of life after Uni- when we leave each other :(

Last night Pete and I were surfing- not waves, the net- and when I stumbled on the ad for the movie 'Where the Wild Things Are', Pete said 'that's Arcade Fire!' So basically Arcade Fire is not a new band, but it's new to me. Arcade Fire is a bit out there, but I think the lyrics and all the instruments make for a really interesting sound. Check them out!
