Learning about the Earth and geography through music?

Over the course of the Canterbury Tails Literary Society Flat Stanley Project, we've learned a lot about people and places.  We have also learned a great deal about geography and Google Earth has been a very useful tool in that exercise.  Hearing the news that Arcade Fire won a Grammy over the weekend reminded us that the band released a video back in August of 2010 which uses HTML5, Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Street View to create a personalized experience for the viewer and which was designed specifically for the Google Chrome Browser. The suggestion?  Type in the address of your childhood home and watch a personalized and possibly nostalgic video of your old neighborhood.
