Arcade Fire - My Body is a Cage

This clip combines two of my favorite things: good music and good cinema. Spaghetti westerns are such an offbeat genre, I feel like nearly everyone could be considered a cult-movie. This Amateur Music Video here strikes a common nerve with these two works.


I’ve seen both of these separately but find this AMV may just be more powerful than either apart. What a showcase of great cinematography.

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

A lot of people have heard of the Canadian band Arcade Fire, but this video of them crammed into an elevator really surprises me. Some of the best shows I've seen have been in tiny coffee shops and I get that intimate vibe here. This is somehow quaint coming from a band that now plays stadiums.

My favorite part has to be the drummer's solution to not having space for a snare drum - tear pages from a magazine and pound on the ceiling. Getting a whole orchestra in an elevator can be an adventure.
