If you're an NBA fanatic, you already know what you're doing this Sunday. It's the annual NBA All-Star Game , where the best of both conferences come together in one epic (and ridiculously scored) match. Typically, it's the West that's the best, just as the saying goes, but this year it's anyone's game - especially with the way LeBron James has been playing. Then again, I'm sort of bias . With that in mind, Consequence of Sound thought we'd assemble our own team of All-Stars, only they'd be made up of musicians. The result [...]

Se eu tivesse que apontar o disco mais injustiçado de 2011 (e também um dos melhores, visto nossa lista de discos favoritos do ano), certamente ele seria o CoCo Beware , do quinteto nova-iorquino Caveman . Um disco de guitarras e extremamente melódico, que passeia pela leveza do Real Estate e a grandiosidade do Arcade Fire , o trabalho está prestes a ganhar um sucessor, desta vez abraçado pelo selo Fat Possum, que liberou nesta semana seu primeiro single. Apesar do título, “In The City”, a canção passa longe do caótico e te embarca [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com Does anyone actually know how to use Tumblr ? Like really know how to use Tumblr? Because even though we're well and capable of identifying the best things about it , it still remains kinda baffling. Except where the Arcade Fire are concerned, that is. See, we know exactly who they [...]
Here is something that'll cheer you up in these wintry days, The Great Escape has released their initial line up. I can feel the Mid-May sun on my face, the perfume of soaked soggy chips, the cackle of seagulls in my ears and the taste of Brighton in my mouth. The best UK festival hits our shores 16-18 May in Brighton Town. I've picked three artists for you to get your programme highlighters out for, and maybe they're a little different to other tastes on the blog, but I'm known for being a little bit different at The Ruck.

Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake, Miguel, Trent Reznor, Skrillex, and Usher were among the early winners at the 2013 Grammy Awards' pre-show telecast.

Miguel's "Adorn" won Best R&B Song and Usher's "Climax" won Best R&B Performance. Skrillex was the big winner in the Dance/Electronica category. Bangarang won Best Dance/Electronica Album and [...]
If the album's name didn't give it away, the years preceding the Arcade Fire's exceptional debut album were filled with death. Family members of the band 'kept dying', according to the album's liner notes, which cleverly mimic the bi-fold handout oft present at funerals. In this time of death, the band realized they should call their first album Funeral. And so one of the best albums of the 2000s was born. Rich with violins, cellos and other instruments rarely used as a centerpiece in indie music, Arcade Fire effectively created an album ambivalent to the pain of losing [...]
İki kişi buluşabilir, birbiriyle konuşabilir, birlikte olabilir; ama ruhları çiçekler gibidir, her biri kendi bulunduğu yere kök salmıştır, hiçbiri öbürüne varamaz; varmak isterse kökünden kopması gerekir. Bunu da yapamaz. Çiçekler kokularını ve tohumlarını çevreye saçarlar; çünkü birbirlerine ulaşmak isterler; ama bir tohumun konması gereken yere varması için çiçek bir şey yapamaz, bu rüzgarın işidir, o nasıl isterse, nereden isterse öylece gelir, eser, gider… “Hermann Hesse” The Sleepy Jackson - Rain Falls For Wind Arcade Fire [...]

Os Of Monsters and Men foram uma das bandas anunciadas na conferência de apresentação para o Optimus Alive, juntamente com Green Day e Alt-J. Desde então, o interesse por este grupo Islandês tem crescido a olhos vistos. Ontem lançaram novo vídeo para "King And Lionheart", música que é retirada do álbum My Head is an Animal , a estreia em registos de estúdio. O vídeo parece iniciar uma história que se adivinha continuar pelos outros que aí vêm, um pouco ao estilo M83 e outros do género. A miúda tem de se safar! [...]

Filed under: News , Holy Hell Sutton Realtor The Arcade Fire are selling the studio/converted church where they recorded Neon Bible and The Suburbs . On Friday (Jan. 18) the band tweeted the following: "Anybody want to buy a church?" The tweet also contained a link to a listing for their church studio located in Farnham, Monteregie just outside of Montreal, Quebec, which was built back [...]
Canadian alt-rockers, Arcade Fire have put their Quebec church-come-recording studio up for sale. The place of worship where the group recorded both 20102s The Suburbs and 20072s Neon Bible is set to be sold after the roof collapsed last year. The band posted the building's real estate listing on Twitter with the caption: "Anybody want to buy a church?" We can only assume many fans would, but they'll need around $325,000 to do so - the current asking price. Arcade Fire [...]
The Arcade Fire are selling their church/studio in Farnham, Quebec. This is the church where the albums Neon Bible and, 2011 Grammy Award "Album of the Year" winner, The Suburbs were recorded. The group sent out a tweet this afternoon simply saying, "Anybody want to buy a church?". The only problem with this piece of musical history is that it needs a new roof, which can be very expensive, especially for a church. The property is listed saying, “Its architecture makes it a perfect location for an artist's studio”. The [...]
Anyone want to buy a church previously owned by Arcade Fire ? Yes, the defunct church in Farnham, Quebec which the band purchased in 2005 and converted into the studio where they recorded Neon Bible and The Suburbs is on the market. In fact, the band tweeted about it this afternoon, writing, "Who wants a church?" It needs a new roof (which was one of the reasons the band moved to a new church ). However, according to a real estate listing , this "very private church [...]
