Arcade Fire’s Deluxe Edition of The Suburbs is going to be something you’ll need to buy. It will include a ‘Making Of’ documentary about the album, Spike Jonze’s entire Scenes from The Suburbs film, and 2 new songs that are very, very excellent. “Speaking in Tongues” (feat. David Byrne) and “Culture War” premiered on Zane [...]

A handful of amazing acts round out this year’s Coachella line-up. Some are a little more surprising than others, and all of the ones you wanted to see are mixed in there somewhere (with a few you’d probably rather not, coughkingsofCOUGH). Overall, it’s got nothing on last year’s.

The only way to get this year’s playlist up later than I did last year was to do it on NYE. Luckily, I kept a running list through-out 2010 that ended up with about 100 songs on it (too many!), and had to ax a lot of favorites. So, if the below 60 song playlist [...]

After 4 years of doing year end Top 10 Album lists, I’ve finally realized how insufficient it is in accurately showcasing my favorites from the year. it’s been a pleasure not having to slim my list down to only 10 records, because that is dumb. 21 seemed like a nice round number that complimented the [...]

Arcade Fire shows. It had been over 5 years since [...]

Not sure where this performance of Arcade Fire’s “Ready to Start” was filmed/recorded, but it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you’d want to miss. I Can barely remember 2010 before The Suburbs. (Vulture)

Arcade Fire’s 3rd consecutively marvelous record, The Suburbs, is streaming below in its entirety now via NPR, and is due tomorrow in the US on Merge Records. By the time you get to the intro of “Suburban War”, ask yourself if this isn’t the best album of the year. As usual, I’ll have to consult [...]

Indie rock is back. Arcade Fire are debuting new music left and right, and, today, two new and official US/UK singles off of The Suburbs have surfaced online. Not sure how these hold up to the band’s previous modern classics, but you can stream “Ready to Start” and “We Used to Wait” (arguably the best [...]
