arcade fire videos

Via the ArcadeFire.net forums, I finally tracked down the music video for the Arcade Fire song "Laika". There are also links to (unofficial) downloadable versions of the other two videos - "Rebellion (Lies)" and "Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out)". I'll include the links to the places you're supposed to go and stream these videos from, just to be all official about it, but I'm pretty sure the "Laika" one is only available in a shady manner.
Laika: Windows Media Player version; Quicktime version

Rebellion (Lies): Quicktime version; stream it at MTV.com

Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out): Windows Media Player version; Quicktime version; stream it at Atom Films
The "Power Out" video was new to me - it stars a bunch of weird little animated kids who are at once menacing and endearing. It was made by Plates Animation. The "Laika" video is also animated; watch for the faces of the band members in the background.
