If there's anything to learn from the über-hyped unveiling (early iTunes leak, dropping the first single via 1-800 number, etc.) of Arcade Fire's last album Neon Bible, it's that a new record from the Montreal-based conglomerate is surely an indie...
Found this via LondonFuse.ca:"Filmed by Vincent Moon in Paris, this is only a snippet of the short film that features the band in a performance that leads them through corridors and elevators and eventually in front of a crowd. All while performing their songs "Neon Bible" and "Wake Up." This is all part of La Blogotheque's weekly feature called "A Take Away Show.""I know that, in Canada, this ...

Seriously, Richard, the glasses are a bit behind the times. And I hope you're not selling that sweaty helmet, too. I can't imagine what the thing smells like.

Reader’s Choice: Madvillain – Madvillainy Like most great albums, Madvillainy creates discussion. It dichotomizes people and they either love or hate the album. The argument usually comes down to what type of hip-hop fan you’re talking to. Those who love modern hip-hop (or glitz-hop as I’m gonna call it) seem to hate this album. They [...]
Their name is known in almost every corner of the Earth and they've released just two records; Arcade Fire are the true definition of a success story. In 2004 when their debut record Funeral saw release, the musical world was shook to it's very foundations by an expected, rare gem that earned more than just a few accolades.
9 out of 10 starsThere’s no other concert movie like Miroir Noir. This is probably because there is no other band like the Arcade Fire.Yes, I understand that AF models their sound off of other bands.

In his ongoing quest to call out every asshole in the music industry, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne tears into Arcade Fire for Rolling Stone: "Whenever I've been around them, I've found that they not only treated their crew like...
Within the last few months, I discovered the Arcade Fire. I have to say that this band consistently makes me feel good. I've been listening to Neon Bible every time I drive this week, and I don't get tired of it. I usually go with music that makes me feel good, or just makes me FEEL. Many of the songs on this album do just that, especially Keep the Car Running, Neon Bible, and No Cars Go; altho...

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...
Man, that organ hits at the exact right moment, doesn't it? Great editing on this newest trailer for David Fincher/Brad Pitt's new film the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I've got high hopes for this one, as I've been following it for some time. Here's hoping it's as great as all the talent involved would [...]
