Give this a try. It's Arcade Fire. Great idea.

I should point out...you need Google Chrome to watch this.

I tried to run it on Opera but refuse to install Google Chrome.. with all the controversy over them taking usage statistics on all the sites visited, the layout of the browser is too basic.. I prefer nice big buttons to click and normal menus.. and Chrome also showed in tests to still be slightly slower than Firefox - which in recent times has become more bloated and slower again - Opera still seems to have the fastest browser, with decent buttons, features.. but yeah..

.. Arcade Fire... I've never been all that into them.. I saw a film on YouTube and it seems you plug your address into it and it will drag up photos of your house from Google Earth and display it on the Chrome browser in time with the music. Still there's something a bit creepy and 'Big Brother' about the whole Google / Chrome "we know where you are" thing!

True...but dude...you're on Facebook. Let's not get carried away with the evil Google stuff.  The whole internet is scary these days.

So true.. we as people I think have all become a bit numb to it all, but one day I'm sure there will be a line in the sand where we will say enough is enough and fight back. Probably when video cameras get installed in every room in every house 'for your own protection'! And there will always be those who say 'fine, I have nothing to hide', but how will they feel about their bedroom romps in full view? Well.. maybe they are kinky folk who would quite enjoy it

The way things are going, it's going to cost money to do ANYTHING on the internet. It's just a matter of time before just checking your email is gonna cost you a dollar. Right now in Canada...the phone, internet, cell phone, cable, satellite companies are all one company. They are trying to control EVERYTHING and it's just a matter of time before they start charging for each individual application. They just recently started charging for Incoming text messages. 15 cents to my account because somebody sent me a text? Get real. I turned it off. But I am sure in the future, you won't be able to turn it off. Google/Shmoogle...I'm getting me some carrier pigeons

Yup, Vodafone in Nz are trying to tempt people to get rid of their landline and take on one of their 'naked broadband' plans. Sounds good, sounds cheap... yeah.. except you'll still need a phone right? That's where they try and sell you one of their (expensive) calling plans! More and more money!
