No Particular Order: Eight Remarkable Arcade Fire Live Performances

Nov 15, 2010, 8:00am The Tale of The Tape

With their appearance on SNL over the weekend, Arcade Fire once again transcended the tired late-night television format by offering water cooler-worthy performances of Suburbs cuts "We Used to Wait" and "Sprawl II." Since 2005, AF's late-night performances have been appointment viewing, as have their appearances on other burgeoning mediums such as La Blogotheque and Terry Gilliam's unprecedented Unstaged concert. Let's have a look. "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)" - Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien - 2/2005 An exciting network introduction to [...]

Elevator Music

Aug 27, 2010, 5:59pm Noise Narcs: Say Yes to Music

Here is my long overdue initial contribution to the Noise Narcs community. When I was growing up my mom insisted on my brother and me taking piano lessons, and when I was about 12 I quit to focus on my athletic career. This turned out to be a mistake, as I have yet to impress any girls with my baseball or basketball skills. I imagine I might be able to woo them if I could sit down at a piano and play something romantic, like some Chopin, Beethoven, or the piano version of Sisqo's opus "The Thong [...]

The Arcade Fire- We Used To Wait and Ready To Start

Jun 17, 2010, 6:00pm AWmusic

Let me start this by saying, THANK GOD because the first two tracks that I heard from one of the best bands of all times in my opinion really disappointed me. Not to say they are bad songs, something the Arcade Fire is unable to produce, just they didn't have the same feel to them as their other stuff that I have grown to love. The Arcade Fire is one of the bands that made me fall in love with music so they are very close to my heart. I didn't get a chance to see [...]

Finally! Arcade Fire do Something.....

Dec 3, 2009, 2:26pm Stranded In Stereo

It's been a long fucking time. The best band of 5 years ago have decided to grace us with their epic indie presence. I have been worried that Win Butler and Regine Chassagne had settled into the good life, bought an old church, some sheep and set about growing an amazing veggie patch in the outskirts of Montreal. Thankfully there must be some tension in there life that has permitted for them and their thousands of members/friends to record something. This will be the first full length release since Neon Bible, [...]

Deux Concert à Emporter

Mar 19, 2008, 12:24pm End Hits

Good morning. We've been writing about our undying devotion to La Blogotheque's "Concert à Emporter" (I think that means "Take Away Concerts," to us Yanks, but don't hold me to that) for some time now. So how about we start this morning out with a couple of their amazing videos? First up, R.E.M. in a car, which is just surreal enough as it is, but it's even better since the band is having a blast while performing a sloppy acoustic take on "Living Well Is the Best Revenge," the [...]

Frekvens Favoritter 2007 - John Fogde

Dec 29, 2007, 12:03pm Frekvens

Det bedste man kan sige om musikåret 2007 er, at 'gamle' favoritter kom ud med plader, der levede op til tidligere præstationer. Desværre var der ikke så meget nyt, der blæste mig omkuld, og derfor er der også kun blevet plads til en debutplade på min liste. Der er også flere af navnene, der går igen fra tidligere års lister, så selvom der i nogen grad er tale om Tordenskjolds Soldater fra min side, vil der nok alligevel være et par navne i mellem, som de fleste ikke er specielt godt bekendte med. Dette er den [...]

Top 15 of 2008, With (Mostly) Live mp3s.

Dec 14, 2007, 10:48pm The Smudge of Ashen Fluff

Here are The Smudge's favorite 15 albums of 2007, not counting Elliott Smith's New Moon or the Deluxe Edition of U2's The Joshua Tree . I was only going to do 10, but couldn't find it in my heart to exclude the last five. There are many other strong releases that I loved this year - albums from LCD Soundsystem, Black Francis, Animal Collective, Bat For Lashes, Jesca Hoop, and Mavis Staples among them, and if you asked me at the end of next year, this list might look different. But for now, here [...]

"The times we had, oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow, were not all bad..."

Dec 3, 2007, 10:43pm I Wake Up Late

As I was commuting home to my random mix of music, I realized that this is an amazing song to hear while nearing your home. The instrumentation builds and it really feels like you're arriving someplace, making a grand entrance, rather than just adhering to a regular routine. In addition, the layering of the horns section adds a bit of the exotic with its French flair. It reminds me of French Cafe music, though I believe I remember it being cited that Beirut was going for a more Eastern European feel. [...]

Delusione per il nuovo sito degli Arcade Fire

Oct 9, 2007, 7:55pm soundsblog

Svelato il mistero che da qualche giorno circondava il nuovo sito dei canadesi Arcade Fire , Beonlineb.com. La band ha infatti messo online il video in alta definizione del secondo singolo tratto da Neon bible, ultimo album del gruppo uscito in primavera, intitolato proprio "Neon bible". Ci aspettavamo decisamente di più, con tutto l'hype messo in giro ad arte durante la settimana per fare aumentare l'attesa. Comunque il video è molto bello, nonostante la sua semplicità, e lo potete vedere cliccando il link, mentre sotto potrete vedere la band eseguire proprio il nuovo [...]

Best of Roskilde 07

Jul 22, 2007, 5:39pm Indie Laundry

People have been asking if rock is dead or if we are just on vacation at Indie Laundry. Well - we are still recovering after a very wet, extremly fun and musically very satisfying festival. Best of all the Roskilde spirit, that you cannot find anywhere else. Here's my personal best of Roskilde 07: Arcade Fire - The opening concert in the big green tent. Small sound problems, but fantastic concert, that almost made me cry and dance at the same time. Here they are live in an elevator!! The [...]
