Harvard's Human-Bound Books

I know a lady who's obsessed with Harvard University; she dreams of attending it, she used to go there to read on her breaks from Boston U and attend their parties; I guess it's the Good Will Hunting thing.

But when it isn't about their fraternities and secret societies (Skull And Bones is my favourite one to read about, though they're Yale-based), or how athletes get a pass in most classes because they're on scholarships, it's the fact that since it was founded in 1636, it's got quite a few fucked up things happen there over the years.

Today's fun tidbit: its library has at least three books bound by human flesh and skin. Yay!

Arcade Fire's ''Secret Show'' Tonight

After playing a secret show at Salsathèque last week, Arcade Fire are back at it again tonight, in a half-secret show (it is advertized on the venue's website this time around as being a show by The Reflektors, the band's single that is to be released tonight at 9PM, same time as the show):

The poster's in the same type of art as the single's cover. I expect big things, but so do the thousands who have been lined up outside since early this morning. There are more folks out there than there is room inside.
