<strong>The Arcade Fire</strong> have made another entry into the history books. This time not for being the biggest Internationally recognized Canadian recording act since Celine Dion, but for making the most innovative music video since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Killed_the_Radio_Star#Music_video">The Buggles launched MTV in 1981</a>. Why is it so important? Because this music video is tailor-made for me.]]></description>
