    The Future, and Good Music

    The Wilderness Downtown
    http://thewildernessdowntown.com/
    Check out Arcade Fire's new interactive HTML5 music experience, “The Wilderness Downtown”.


    Check it out. You should be using Google Chrome (perhaps Firefox will work as well? Haven't tried it -- Chrome is recommended).

    Make sure you watch it all the way through for all of the cool parts. This is 100% HTML5/CSS/JS, no Flash or plugins or anything else.

    Brilliant marketing as well.

      That's cool.

          Not just a movie.

            I'm also told it works in Safari 5 (on Mac at least) and it 99% works in the Firefox 4 betas, with a couple minor glitches and hitches.

            It probably works in the IE9 dev preview also, but I've not tested it.

              Download it because it's the best/fastest browser currently available then.

                    It "works" on Firefox, but is incredibly laggy. It's pegging one of my cores and is stuttering. I've got a Core i7 920, so I don't think it's my CPU's fault...

                      I did it, but don't see what all the fuss is about. Kinda neat, but nothing exceptional.

                        until you read "This is 100% HTML5/CSS/JS, no Flash or plugins or anything else.", in which case it's ****ing fantastic.

                              This worked terribly for me. I lived in an apartment building on the side of a 12-lane highway. It looks ****ing retarded that this guy is running along a freaking highway and then just pauses in the middle of the road and looks around.

                              It also got my address wrong. It showed the building NEXT to my address.
