Just stopping by the bakery for a shortie today folks.

If you’ve turned your computer on in the last 48 hours or so there’s a good chance you’ve already seen the trailer for ‘Where the Wild Things Are‘ – Spike Jonze’s upcoming adaptation of the classic children’s book – but if you haven’t then today is your lucky day.  I don’t know what genius was behind the pairing of this footage with Arcade Fire’s ‘Wake Up’, but whoever it was did a damn fine job of getting me pumped for the movie.  Who ever would have thought Arcade Fire = perfect soundtrack to a children’s book? Take a peek below:

And in honor of that – an awesome live version of ‘Wake Up’. You know you just want to scream along with that crowd…

    The first time I heard that song was the main stage of Coachella 2007 – everyone was singing along, and I was like, “What the fuck is this awesome madness?!?”

    And yeah – that movie looks dope.
