Arcade Fire & LCD Soundsystem to team up?

Arcade Fire have been updating their website, and at the same time are being very cryptic. All that is on the homepage is a message that tells visitors to come back on October 6th (that's tomorrow). The Internet has been buzzing with guesses as to what the band are going to reveal.

This could well be the secret. James Murphy, the man behind LCD Soundsystem, has expressed an open desire to produce an album and has remixed the track 'Black Mirror'. There's two likely possibilities:

a) a remix album/EP of sorts.
b) perhaps far off, an album of new material.

Either of those two options would make sense. LCD Soundsystem recently played the Hollywood Bowl with the Arcade Fire and the two bands seem to be good friends. The remix album/EP looks the most likely though.

I'm a fan of both bands. Arcade Fire have released two outstanding albums that pull the right emotional strings, whilst LCD Soundsystem are the leaders in their own genre by a long country mile (only Hot Chip could potentially rival them). I can't wait to hear the news tomorrow morning.
