Watch This

DVR alert for this weekend: Arcade Fire will be making their second appearance on PBS's Austin City Limits. In the Boston area the show airs on channel 44; the first broadcast is Saturday night/Sunday morning at midnight. There's also another showing 24 hours later on the same channel. Their first performance on the show, a few years back, was excellent. I imagine this time they'll be playing mainly songs from The Suburbs, which should also be great.

There are a few other airings during the week, but only on the 'GBH Kids channel; if you have cable or satellite service you'll have to check to see if you get that channel (being kidless, I have no idea). The WGBH schedule main page is here. If you live elsewhere, check the website for your local PBS station, or the main PBS site. And if all else fails, after the show airs you'll be able to watch it online here.

To get you in the mood, here are two preview videos: first, a look backstage set to "We Used To Wait":
