For those who don't know Moondog, here you have a nice compilation of his work. Starting with his first album from 1956, all the way to the time he was living (and died in 1999) in Germany. Interesting fact: Moondog wrote all his compositions in braille, because he was blind.

I'm going to leave you with Mr. Scruffs remix of Lament 1 'Bird's Lament' (and the original composition by Moondog), the reason I got to know 'The Viking Of Sixth Avenue'.

Together with the latest album, Arcade Fire teamed up with one of my favorite directors Terry Gilliam, to record their live gig at Madison Square Garden. The show was live streamed on youtube. I'll leave you with an impression of this show, some backstage footage and interview material all put together in a playlist. Enjoy!
