Ode: "(Antichrist Television Blues)"


So far, Arcade Fire's Neon Bible is my favorite album of the year. Listening to it on the way home, I was again blown away by how amazing each and every song is.

But my favorite might have to be "(Antichrist Television Blues)," a Springsteen-esque march of a song about Joe Simpson, father of Jessica and Ashley, the former minister who sold his soul (and his daughters' bodies) to make a few bucks.

It's just so damn good. And as I said, hearing about Bonnaroo made me nostalgic, so here's your crappy sound-quality video of them playing it at Coachella, courtesy of the AT&T Blueroom.
