One of my rules on this blog is all music must be live. Listening to this Chet Faker live version of No Diggity is a revelation and more proof how a record company can mess with your music and market what they think is the right version. Well folks in my opinion the radio version can’t come close to this…

As Arcade Fire’s Reflector Tour comes to a close at the end of August in Montreal lets take a moment to remember just how good they have been in concert.
