Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since Neon Bible. Both Arcade Fire albums are true classics in every sense of the word. They are timeless. I still listen to them regularly.

But even more than the album, I am excited Arcade Fire is once again, touring. I saw them back in Sept 07, at the Hollywood Bowl. I sat in a box with 3 people I didn’t know. I sat on my hands and gave a stranger a stranger

Here’s the track listing for the upcoming album, which comes out the first week in August…just in time for my birthday. Thanks Arcade Fire.

    Arcade Fire + Spike Jonze = Movie


    Via Stereogum

    According to /Film, the director will be in Austin, TX to do a short film with the band based on the concept of “friends growing apart.” MTV  also got a Jonze spokesperson to confirm the collaboration and location, but he wouldn’t name any other details. Jonze and Arcade Fire were bound to work together after Where The Wild Things Are (Jonze said  the band were a huge inspiration). But it’s not clear if this will be a short film like Jonze’s work  with Kanye West, an extended music video for their upcoming album, or something in-between.

    In the meantime, watch Jonze’s awesome I’m Here robot short film, featuring Sleigh Bells’ “A/B Machines.” A robot has it playing in her car while she’s driving, naturally.
