my my metrocard

i've been busy and not taking the subway a lot this week/weekend, but as i'm about to go to sleep this wanders in to my inbox twice so i thought i'd post it...

We’re walking up the stairs from the N,R at Union Square, bout 2a.m. Sat night. Couple street musicians are banging out some tune when we get up to
the park.

Holy fucking shit.

It’s Arcade Fire.

Covering New Order. Win and Will on guitars. Regine on
guitar-case-as-percussion. Why the fuck not? It’s a nice night in New York,
why not blow the dozen wanderers’ minds who’ve magically stumbled upon this
scene?

Cover a couple more, then wrap it up with Tunnels.

Holy fucking shit.

New York is magic.

Note to Arcade Fire: J M Z, Delancey St.
Here's a video of them playing Boys Don't Cry [via Jeff]
