Arcade Fire!
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave.
Apologies for my earlier cynicism. It's easy to get downtrodden sometimes. When scanning the radio or the profile music of the average myspace, one is bound to come across things that grate on ones patience and tip one towards a vertigo-like cynicism, where only the past holds hope, that the present is descending, and the future is grim. I made a sort of ridiculous claim that only a few bands w

Nostalgia.
Driving home from work tonight, one of those "We play everything!" stations was playing a program called "Class of 97 Reunion" consiting of all late 90's singles, a plethora of has-beens and middle-of-the-road rockers. In the few brief minutes driving home I heard The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony", Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life", a few others. And I almost instantly became nostalgic. My

In Response To Those Who Believe R.E.M Does Not Deserve Hall of Fame Status
-
Artist:
R.E.M. is (as absurd as it sounds) one of the most UNDERrated bands of the last 25 years. Mainstream rock music generally starts tracking them from when they signed to Warner Brothers and released Green in 1991. However, the five previous albums Murmur, Reckoning, Fables of The Reconstruction, Life’s Rich Pageant, and Document are together the most influential set of records for what would be 80

A SPOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!This, in my humble opinion, is one of the most delightful surprises the Rock And Roll Hall people have come up with. It always seemed obvious the big 3 punk bands (Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash) would get into the Hall, but what about some of the other more influential, less well known bands? Television? Joy Division/New Order? What about Hardcore bands l

Arcade Fire iTunes Mishap
Arcade Fire were to put up their new single "Intervention" as a digital download on iTunes yesterday, but someone at their label uploaded the wrong song two days early. The song originally uploaded and labeled as "Intervention" is actually called "Black Wave/Bad Vibrations" and is the song which follows "Intervention" on the group's upcoming album "Neon Bible". "Black Wave/Bad Vibrations" has si

Joni Mitchell

Album:
Joni Mitchell is my dream woman. And I don't mean Joni the person, I mean Joni the narrator, Joni the young woman who ventures around the world in search of beauty; the woman who hangs out in sandy bars on Mediteranean islands and makes love with all manner of poets and wanderers. Ever since I first heard "Blue" I cannot get this woman out my head. She's coy, intelligent, hip, sincere, sexy, s

Pretension or Stagnation?

Artist:
Today I found myself in my local used record store completely perplexed about what it was I wanted to buy. I must've scanned the racks half a dozen times looking for something to jump out and grab me. It's a pretty helpless feeling.... one knows they want something, but they do not know what. As I was shuffling through, I thought to myself "Well, whatatever it is, it's got to be dense, it's go
