Ok, so my last post didn't bring forth much evidence other than my own word on the matter.
If you are looking for concrete evidence here you go.
Take the middle section of Black Mirror of of Neon Bible. Let us look at the lyrics:
I know when the time is coming
All the words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn’t mine
But mine is the only kind that I relate to
I never guessed how the mirror could ever break you
Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror
Upon first glance you might ask yourself "what does this have to do with bocce?"
The answer is everything.
"I know when the time is coming" is clearly an allusion to the fact that they know I will be trying to get my bocce set back.
"Please show me something that isn't mine" is basically a confession that they have something that isn't theirs. They continue to say that by making it theirs they can get better at bocce.
"I never guessed how the mirror could ever break you" is almost a guilty voice, they didn't realize how devastated I would be after losing my prized bocce set.
Finally, replace the last part where they chant "Black Mirror" with the words "Boc-ce Ball" and it fits perfectly.
If this doesn't convince you of The Arcade Fire's guiltiness I don't know what will.
