According to Pitchfork, The Arcade Fire will be playing CMJ on September 14th. Odds are it won't be a mid-afternoon set at Arlenes Grocery this time...
If you haven't heard their new song off the new Six Feet Under soundtrack, go download it now at Daily Refill. It's sensational.
their CMJ set last year was at arlene's? that's wild, i didn't realize that.

how do you get into the CMJ shows? Is there a special process for buying tix? Are they on sale to the public?

keep your eye on CMJ.com for more info. they just finished taking submissions from bands. they usually just announce larger bands first to generate interest, and then closer to september they release the final schedule. in years past, they even prevent clubs from advertising exact shows/lineups on their web sites until just before the CMJ week starts. i remember checking the mercury lounge site everyday until they finally posted the line up.
