Video: Arcade Fire - Ready To Start [Later Live... with Jools Holland]

Greg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk Building on one of the themes of 2010, biomedical-engineer-slash-mash up-madman Greg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk , released a surprise record via his label Illegal Art 's website on Monday.  (Note that whether or not this art is actually illegal is a topic for debate ).   The free download proved so popular that it crashed the Illegal Art website, leading some to provide more efficient methods for acquiring it.  As with the two previous Girl Talk records, the album features sampling and mash-up of hundreds of songs, primarily [...]

Arcade Fire performed on Saturday Night Live last week and have now flown across to the UK to perform on Later with Jools Hollan. The band performed 'Month of May' and 'Ready to Start' so we don't get to see Regine dance around again. You can watch both performances below....

As I try to fix a technical issue that is way over my head (and beyond my interest) while simultaneously chasing around a behemoth Baby Vegetables, please enjoy these recent Arcade Fire performances from the teevee.

Jools Holland has some great guests. It's just interesting to watch the British way of doing things. You watch Letterman bring a band on, then you watch Holland. It's so odd. At least he's not reading from a cue card....

The Arcade Fire was recently on SNL, and they kinda 'tanked' because they let Regine sing [ link ], so they went on some other late night live talk show, and decided "Hmmmm...

They played "Month of May" and hid Regine in the very back on drums even though they already have a drummer. They [...]

So Bruce Springsteen's appearance on J-Fal was untouchable, but that doesn't mean the rest of late night didn't put together a pretty valiant effort when it comes to last night's musical entertainment. In fact, even if you omit The Boss entirety, Tuesday still proved to be one of the more memorable evenings of the year. For one, Arcade Fire followed up their SNL and MTV World Stage performances by dropping "Month of May" and "Ready to Start" on UK music program Later... with [...]
