Love, Love Will Tear Us Apart Again

U2 and The Arcade Fire performing Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'Brooklynvegan(via the ArcadeFire.net forums) points to a download of a live video of The Arcade Fire performing with U2 a cover of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in Montreal. Does this prove that U2 are post-punk?

I've never bothered unsubscribing from the Plumtree Yahoo! Message Group(I guess I'm always hoping for a reunion) but every now and then someone(sometimes one of the Plumtree'rs) posts a message. Bassist Catriona posted a message today. Her and her new band Dearie Hunter and her Screaming Elks(which includes Dana from The Bicycles and Andy from Spitfires and Mayflowers) have a show at Embassy(223 Augusta in Toronto) on December 7th. Sounds like a good show even though I haven't heard a note of their music. How's that for optimism! Also, Catriona has her own web page.

A second Metric show's been added for Kool Haus, this time on February 25th. Public onsale is this Saturday December 3rd at 10 am. House of Blues presale started this morning.(ok, so I'm a little late with that news.)

Listen to/watch the live session that Super Furry Animals performed this morning(well, afternoon EST) for Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Here's a torrent(registration required) of a live show of The Organ at Abordage in Evreux, France on November 11, 2005. [via Largehearted Boy]

Exclaim Reader's Poll 2005/2006 - fill it out for your chance to win some cool prize packs! I was assuming that it's only open to Canadian residents but then the 'Province/State' field got me thinking that maybe it's also open to U.S. residents.
