Arcade Fire Send Covert Messages Through Setlists, Overt Messages Through Bodily Fluids



Well, at least the front row won’t be going "without water”! More to the point, apparently those kooky Arcade Fire kiddos have been sprinkling bits and pieces of a tale re: Joseph Simpson, his daughter, and what or may not be aliens into the set lists of their current tour. "But how do they do that?", you might ask. Well, rather than calling “Antichrist Television Blues” by it’s given name, (“Antichrist Television Blues”) it has been announced incognito under the following monikers:

“Joseph Simpson knelt down in a grove and a dream came to him”

“He saw his daughter standing on a stage in a black room”

“When suddenly the brightest spotlight he had ever seen was turned on her”


*SPOILER ALERT*


"The room was faded with the light reflected from her white dress"


OooOOOooo000, creepy! Please do inform MonsterBlood of any developments in this yarn-a-spinnin', because we're all caught up. Also, Joseph's daughter is totally gonna hook up with the aliens, you heard it here first!
