Mm, I thought Peter Gabriel sang the song first, but I guess it's a different song? That makes me happy, actually!

It is the same song, Peter Gabriel just did a cover version later pretty much just because Arcade Fire is awesome.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #402 on:** September 18, 2012, 04:35:00 PM »

Ah, awesome!

Speaking of which, did Arcade Fire signal anything about a new album lately?

Cocteau Twins - The Spangle Maker

Been on a Twins kick for the last few months. Wonder if that'll stop.

Mumford and Sons - After the Storm

Such beautiful music. I preordered the new album!

When is it out? I've been kinda longing for the kind of high-voltage emotional blackmail those guys do oh so well.

Not that I am aware of. It was three years between the previous albums, so probably not anytime soon. It's always a little curious to me how prominent bands tend to have several years between albums nowadays, whereas in the 60's/70's it was closer to a yearly basis (even more frequently for prolific freaks like The Beatles). Probably this is just the expanded storage capacity of CDs making the expected duration of an album longer and therefore more trouble to produce, but it always seems weird to me that it's worked out that way given the general shortening of our cultural attention span in the internet era.

Of course, most of this is academic since only fossils like me even think in an album format anymore.

It's September 25th, I think, Snow. I am shipping it to my parents house so I won't get it for a while (bought my mom a birthday present on Amazon but I wanted the free shipping so I tagged the new album on with it.).

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Om Nashi Me

Crafty of you. Also, yay!

Probably my favorite song on the album.

Quick Ciato bring the Givenchy and Lagerfeld

Metric - Youth Without Youth

Oh wow they -did- improve upon Fantasies' winning formula. This is both charming and dangerous.

Grefter · « **Reply #415 on:** September 23, 2012, 10:57:19 PM »

A Perfect Circle - Passive.

Grefter · « **Reply #416 on:** September 25, 2012, 10:55:40 AM »

JayZ - 99 Problems.

So yeah I really enjoyed the Black Album, 99 problems definitely the crown jewel in a great album though.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #417 on:** September 25, 2012, 12:03:25 PM »

Metric - Lost Kitten

I was looking for a hooker when I found you~

Grefter · « **Reply #418 on:** September 25, 2012, 12:30:35 PM »

Rage Against the Machine - Kick Out the Jams.

Because hey MC 5 are that awesome.

Grefter · « **Reply #419 on:** September 25, 2012, 12:33:59 PM »

Julia Stone - I Want to Live Here.

Oh by the way Snow. New album.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #420 on:** September 25, 2012, 01:33:54 PM »

Living Colour - Cult of Personality

Been going through some old music again, finally getting round to sorting stuff about 4 months after my computer was fixed. Currently in love with this song.

Grefter · « **Reply #421 on:** September 25, 2012, 01:52:59 PM »

So Wiki says the album came out in May? I hadn't seen it until now and I do check that section at music stores a bit... but whatevs.

The Killers - Flesh and Bone.

Hoping this album is better than the other two albums I have. They both have some good tracks on them, but as albums are weaker.

Metric - Youth Without Youth

It's 2010 all over again. I really dig this album - it has the slick, glossy production values of Fantasies shaved of its excesses, and I don't think Metric has ever covered as many distinct approaches in a single album. I never knew Metric could actually sound elegant without feeling weird.

Grefter · « **Reply #423 on:** September 26, 2012, 08:42:46 AM »

Motörhead - Ace of Spades.

The only god I need.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #424 on:** September 26, 2012, 08:18:03 PM »

Lost Kitten is my favorite song on that album! It's so cute and catchy.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Come In Please
