Now You Can Read The Neon Bible

Singing along is better when you know the words, dontcha think? So, to match your leaked copy of Arcade Fire's latest, head to neonbible.com, click on any one of the neon bibles, pick the "Lyrics" tab, and finally click on the little girl's copy of the bible. There you shall have a listing of the album's tracks, and the lyrics therein shall set you free. For more Monday morning fun, pick the "Phone Archives" tab, click on the swirling image, and just stare. Phenakisticope? More like funakisticope! And don't get us started on the talking little French girl in the "Lyrics" section. (Seriously, don't get us started. She's creepy.)

Alright! Now I get to read such impossibly cheesy lyrics as 'eating in the ghetto off a hundred dollar plate.'

i like it. although the talking girl's sudden appearance spooked me a bit. a little creepy at times, but pretty interesting.

I really really wish I loved The Arcade Fire so I could splooge over them and go to their apparently-amazing live shows.

Too bad I think they're grossly overrated. :(

Too bad some of you have sucked the life out of yourselves and can no longer enjoy music. Joyless.

I realize now that people who use the term overrated don't really listen to music. They like to rate music and by doing so hope to rate themselves in the hopes of convincing themselves they're better or more interesting people. It's a tragedy is what it is.

I realize now that people who use the term overrated don't really listen to music. They like to rate music and by doing so hope to rate themselves in the hopes of convincing themselves they're better or more interesting people. They busy themselves by keeping up with what other people say or think almost as much as they do actually listening to the music. It's a tragedy is what it is.

Sage advice, try not to use stupid words like overrated and relevant.
