Har du funderat över vad James Murphy har haft för sig sedan LCD Soundsystem splittrades 2011? Den senaste tiden har flera detaljer krypit fram gällande hans karriär. Något soloalbum finns det ännu ingen information om, men Murphy har varit aktiv ändå - som producent. Nyligen delade återförenade britpophjältarna Pulp en nyinspelad version av den gamla demolåten After You producerad av Murphy. Samtidigt flyter det omkring sannolika rykten om att han ska ha ett finger med i spelet på både Arcade Fires och Yeah Yeah Yeahs kommande plattor som släpps under 2013.

If you're someone who has worked in retail, the thought of listening to Christmas songs EVER is probably horrifying. If you're like me you probably wouldn't mind hearing covers from your favourite bands, or even carolling a bit, because hey, you've never had a job (in retail or otherwise). So why not sit back and relax and listen to Christmas songs? Heck, you could even listen to songs that have the word Christmas in them but are actually morbid and sad and not in the holiday spirit at all. That's up to you. You can make your own [...]
Yep, the rumours are true. Fantastically true. Arcade Fire management has confirmed that their next record will feature in several tracks with LCD Soundsystem frontman and part time Barry O'Farrell impersonator - James Murphy. Manager of the band, Scott Rodgers, has confirmed the inklings, stating " they're in with James Murphy on three or so songs, plus Markus Dravs who is a long-time collaborator ". The bands started hanging out together during the sophomoric Neon Bible tour and not long after Murphy left LCD Soundsystem, citing that there [...]
Wenn eine Band als „die schottischen Arcade Fire“ beschrieben wird, legt man die Latte ganz schön hoch. Aber natürlich weckt man damit auch das Interesse bei Leuten wie mir. Und so habe ich mir gestern das neue Video der schottischen Band Washington Irving angehört, eine Liveaufnahme ihres Songs «Wandering Wits» . Eine ausgesprochen energetische Performance, die die Jungs da hin legen, und gewisse Parallelen vor allem zu ihren Landleuten Frightened Rabbit, aber, ja, mit viel Fantasie auch zu Arcade Fire sind nicht ganz von der Hand zu weisen. Nächstes [...]

It wasn't until the mid-'00s that Canadian independent music began to really make waves this side o' the pond. Broken Social Scene – the rather ironically entitled moniker to Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning's all-encompassing collective – had already released three full-lengths, the '05 eponymous third of which picked up umpteen plaudits here as well as being certified Gold over yonder, selling over 50,000 copies. Indeed, the duo's artistically embracive vehicle united members from such esteemed likes as Stars, and Metric, and Leslie Feist, and Reverie Sound Revue, and Do Make Say Think , and so forth. Startling records [...]
