With 2008 coming to a close, Peter Bjorn & John 's contribution may have been less than memorable -- a mostly instrumental, highly strange follow-up to one of the most loved albums of 2006. Fortunately, Seaside Rock was never supposed to be a proper sophomore album, just something fun the band wanted to do. And fortunately for fans, they've already got a new album in the pipes for Spring 2009...

Arcade Fire will release a film documenting the planning and recording of Neon Bible with footage of the band at their Montréal studio, recording the NB promotional videos, along with live footage and clips from the road. The video, directed by Vincent Morisset (of the previous weirdo/badass Arcade Fire video for "Neon Bible") and shot by Vincent Moon...yes, the same dude from La Blogothe..

Sort of. You might remember that the world's most tragically named band are doing things a bit differently on their upcoming second album by allowing fans and fellow musicians to remix, remaster, edit, and otherwise make anew each of the album's seventeen tracks. The submitted reworkings will be subsequently dug through by the band, which will choose the best of the bunch for the album. I...

You know those visually brilliant but unnecessarily complex futuristic computer interfaces from movies like Minority Report and Quantum of Solace , where some guy does a combination of the Macarena and the Vogue to magically interact with a semi-translucent screen? Apple and Microsoft may have brought us closer than ever imagined to those forward-thinking electronic encounters, with the Mul...

Xylos is one of an endless number of New York indie/pop/folk collectives that will aim to capture your attention in 2009. Beginning as a bedroom pop project from founding member/lyricist Eric Zeiler, Xylos later blossomed with the addition of vocalists Aaron Mendelsohn and Nikki Lancy, drummer Mike Greenfield, and bassist Monika Heidemann, as well as contributions from Yeasayer singers Anan...

Cate Blanchett is amazing in just about everything she plays and apparently had to convince Brad Pitt into doing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button . I'm definitely intrigued by the premise of the film and David Fincher at the helm, who wouldn't be? Not to mention I've seen Arcade Fire's "My Body Is A Cage" being fittingly applied in a teaser for the film ad nauseam over the last week.. st...

Every now and again you come across some new tunes that set your ears abuzz. So good, in fact, that your ears suddenly feel like they're attached to strings and are floating above your head like the helium-filled balloons you cherished as a child. You may be wondering how Dent May , the man pictured above who looks like the skinny cousin of Dan Deacon, is capable of making your ears defy gr...

We first caught up with Franc Cinelli and his Goodtimes Goodtimes project back in January, when his infectious single "Kids" hit my other other sweet tooth, you know the one that's typically reserved for guilty pleasures. I can't say enjoying his music is any sort of challenge (unlike the kind of blockade set up by Joanna Newsom's voice, or No Age's white noise melodies, that rewards persev...

Since the giving season is upon us, IGIF has teemed up with Insound for a contest, in association with Insound's mouth watering gift guide . We've been publicly shameful of the failures of 80s pop culture in the past, but hell who hasn't? There's a reason "Rickrolling" famously replaces any given pursued media with this video from 1987. "New York Noise: Art & Music from The New York Undergr...

If you haven't jumped on Weird Tapes yet, now's the time. The dudes just re-uploaded their More Tapes EP via their blog , featuring four sample-heavy electro cuts that'll drench us all in anticipatory wetness while we wait for the full length to drop in the early months of '09. Oh yes. Step 1. Listen to "My Babe Walk" ("Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" sample included) »[MP3] Weird Tapes - My B..

Over the Thanksgiving weekend my family met at my grandparents' house in Connecticut, the usual gathering point for holidays, birthdays, and general familial events. What was once a childhood beacon at the end of the proverbial road "over the river and through the woods", while still serving a similar function, is now more of a nostalgic getaway not just to my early years but also to the si...

Young or old, there is something far too timeless and appealing about the music of Springsteen and his E Street Band. While he's wrapping up work on his 16th studio album titled Working On A Dream (out Jan. 27th ), a new video for the track "My Lucky Day" just hit the web with really neat behind the scenes footage. The first few minutes of the video show Bruce putting parts of the song togeth...

Being under the weather and under duress is not an enjoyable combination, especially when one is preparing to enter the caverns of academic purgatory. Final papers and exams are approaching within the week, looming like the annual trips you were once forced to take to the pediatrician - fearful of cold hands, prognoses, and the dreaded shots. As I adjust my headlamp and begin my descent int...
