I haven't spent enough time with Arcade Fire's music to really have a strong opinion of the band one way or another but I had to shake my head after hearing the stories that there were a number of Craigsist posting for the band's 2007 show at Judson Memorial Church soliciting sex for tickets. With a proposition like that, you have to wonder who is more crazier/desperate - the poster or anyone who responded.

While front man Win Butler may be a "a f*cking rock star", you have to give the band props for bringing Echo and the Bunnymen front man Ian McCulloch onstage with them for a dead-on cover of the Bunneymen's 1983 hit "The Cutter".



Arcade Fire are in town in August for three nights at Barclay's Center and their run of shows starts August 22nd. Tickets are still available and range from $38.70 to $82.60.
