Sometimes I wonder if the world’s so small, / that we can never get away from the sprawl. / Living in the sprawl, dead shopping malls rise / Like mountains beyond mountains, and there’s no end in sight. — Arcade Fire, “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)”

    The video was really good! I liked the images they chose, and I liked the timing, especially the one spot in the middle where the couple’s dancing goes along with the music. We think of today’s consumerism as something new, so it was interesting to think about its roots.
