Photo by Sarahanah/ Hooves on the Surf One of the best things about music blogs is (re)discovering old, random gems, that link two of your favorite bands in the world together. It happens more often than you imagine. This time, I owe buckets of gratitude to We All Want Someone To Shout For for bringing Arcade Fire’s cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps” back in my life. There was a time when this cover was a fixture in my daily playlists, but between new laptops and iTunes library transfers... Read Full Story

Arcade Fire, Spoon & Bon Iver for Dark Was The Night

Spoon - Well-Alright “Well-Alright” sounds like classic, old school Spoon, with it’s thumpin’, toe-tappin’ bassline and Britt Daniel’s jerky vocal delivery. This easily makes it one of Dark Was The Night ’s most fun songs. On the compilation, it follows Sufjan Steven’s 10 minute epic “You Are The Blood.” I’ve never thought of using Spoon as a pallet cleanser, but the DwtN people did and it worked out pretty great. Listen to “Well-Alright” below: Spoon - Well-Alright Arcade Fire... Read Full Story

Album Updates- Beastie Boys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, James Taylor, and Team B

Let’s start off with the Beastie Boys. The boys are finishing up their 8th studio album, and its apparently shaping up to be a “pretty weird” one, says lead rapper Adam Yauch. Far from their all-instrumental album The Mix-Up, this one includes “a lot of rhyming and playing and sampling — all combined.” It should be pretty cool…thanks to Entertainment Weekly for the heads-up. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ new album was prematurely evaluated over at Stereogum , and they seem to like it. A lot. Judging... Read Full Story

Updated: Wayne Coyne vs. Arcade Fire

It seems that Flaming Lips frontman Coyne may actually be the prick in this situation, as he has dissed many bands and artists in the past (Arctic Monkeys, Beck, Duffy, and Oasis, to name a few). But he claims that my idols, my music heroes, Arcade Fire, “treat people like s***.” It sounds like Mr. Coyne may be just a tad bit jealous if you read the full quote, which is posted after the jump. Can we trust Coyne’s word? Or is Arcade Fire still the best? Warning... Read Full Story

New Arcade Fire Material ‘Donnie Darko Resurrection’… Not

Sometimes I’m glad I have an addiction. Some people keep plants or have a dog, but others, like myself, opt to lose ourselves in something else entirely. I can plainly say that I cannot live without a few things; coffee, soda, my iPhone, and Google Reader. I AM an RSS Feedoholic. Glad to be one too. You can find tons of great things within a little RSS feed. For example, I found this post on a blog I like and it pretty much made my day. Donnie Darko (one of my favorite films of all...
