Following on from the bogus website leading to the announcement of a new Radiohead album, the Arcade Fire are following suit with another mysterious domain address.
beonlineb.com (an anagram of neonbible.com) currently has an “Arcade Fire presents…” title and a 6th of October date for an announcement. Pitchfork know, but they ain’t tellin’. Find out what it is this Saturday. It better not be “Arcade Fire presents.. Win Butler” – the solo album.
Niall Byrne is the founder of the most-influential Irish music site Nialler9, where he has been writing about music since 2005. He is the co-host of the Nialler9 Podcast and has written for the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Sunday Times, Totally Dublin, Cara Magazine, Red Bull and more. Niall is a DJ, co-founder of Lumo Club, event curator, Indie Sleaze club promoter, and producer of gigs and monthly listening parties & events in Dublin.
I bet its something lame like a full-length video of the entire set from their latest tour, perhaps one song per city that you can watch online.
If its Win Butler the solo record, I’m not buying it. NO.
Word on the street is that it’s something to do with their LCD Soundsystem collaboration. Apparently LCD have remixed Neon Bible. Although that could be a fib- the internet is filled with em.
The website name being an anagram makes me think that it will be something to do with remixes… Rob could be on the money!
Am I missing something? It seems to be just an interactive video?

nooo, total anti-climax, but you;’ve got to hand it to them, turning a non-event into a real-time internet event. or not.
