Filed under: News , I Fought the Law , Politics as Usual Matt Jelonek, Getty After last weekend's performance on Saturday Night Live with Mick Jagger , Montreal's Fire">Arcade Fire were shown wearing small red patches on their clothes, a reference to the ongoing student protests against tuition hikes taking place in Montreal and throughout Quebec. The protests, which recently surpassed the 100-day mark, have garnered attention both in Canada and internationally. Now various musicians with close connections to the Montreal music scene have been weighing in on the nightly protests. "Hundredth day......Very good #redsquare ," Stars and Broken Social ...

"Der Auserwählte" lässt seine Augen über die Magazine voller Pin-Ups und Glamour-Girls streifen, es knistert verheißungsvoll. Dann eine Schlägerei. Schnelle Autos und Straßen, die nie enden wollen, ein tiefschwarzer, experimenteller Stil prägt das Bild. Matt Moroz und Tracy Maurice, die schon für Fire">Arcade Fire und Black Atlantic gearbeitet haben, liefern mit ihrem Video zu "You Are The One" für die New Yorker Noise Rock-Band A Place to Bury Strangers eine perfekte Reminiszenz an die B-Movie-Szene der 70er ab. Auf 16mm festgehalten, dürfte der Clip außerdem eine der schaurigsten Rummachereien der Filmgeschichte beinhalten. Die beiden Regisseure in eigenen Worten: "Uns ...

(( my alarm goes off at 6:35AM on my iPad, which this morning chooses Arcade’s Fire “Month of May” )) Heather: When we get to June are you going to choose a different song.? (( I ignore this comment, pondering a few other things instead )) Me: It’s a pretty mainstream choice for me, isn’t [...]

The Swedes are poppy, the Danes are laid back – but Norwegian musicians embrace the darkness Anyone who became hooked on Danish-Swedish crime series The Bridge knows its theme tune set a perfect mood for the gruesome, dark and grainy drama. Back in 2010 , I described Hollow Talk by Danish act Choir of Young Believers as "a melancholic Fire">Arcade Fire doing the soundtrack to Wallander" (I used them as an example of a band that made beautiful music, but couldn't or wouldn't do self-promotion on social networking sites). Seems I was just wrong about which crime series the ...

Some sad news as of last week. It would appear that my lady friend’s car is on it’s last legs. Before we go out and get a new vehicle I thought it would be respectful to post a few of my favourite car-related songs. You did well ole girl. Enjoy. Free mp3:  Fire">Arcade Fire – [...]

If the cover song is the highest form of musical flattery, then David Byrne must be tickled pink at how his 1983 classic “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)” has fared over the years. It was perhaps most famously covered by Fire">Arcade Fire, with the endorsement (and participation) of Byrne, as a B-side to their single “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out).” But it’s also been moped over by the Counting Crows, stretched into a full-on jam by The String Cheese Incident, piped from a laptop by MGMT and whimpered by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio, who ...

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Pop Culture , Music Appreciation Hulton Archive The depths of May seems to be the perfect season for fomenting protest. Perhaps that explains Fire">Arcade Fire 's act of supporting Quebec student protesters on Saturday Night Live recently. Win Butler and crew's act of solidarity wasn't the only rebellious music moment that occurred this week in history. This was the week that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young wrote "Ohio" in 1970 and warned everyone that Nixon was coming. The times, they also a-changed forever because someone was born, and because someone else decided to sit ...

Scratch any literate songwriter – Win Butler, David Bowie, PJ Harvey – and beneath the surface you will find a debt to TS Eliot The New Yorker critic Louis Menand, reflecting on TS Eliot's transition from radical modernist to arch-conservative, wrote in a review of the poet's letters: "He tried to shut the door on modern life. It was too late of course. He was the author of Prufrock and The Waste Land. He was already inside." Eliot would not have loved pop music but pop music loves Eliot. Ninety years after the publication of The Waste Land , he remains ...

I am blinded by the glare of white skin, honkeys celebrating the honkeyness of a honky moment, the culmination of honkey culture for the past decade. This clip is the embodiment of the self-congratulatory culture that bridges the divide between television and the people who sit on the internet to overrate it. The clip contains A-list honky celebs, blog darlings who are the mouthpiece of modern high-end honkeyism. It is the beginning of an era. It is the end of an era. The clip was intended to 'say goodbye to Kristen Wiig', the most notable SNL castmember who was basically ...

They're recording under the name Divine Fits , with a debut produced by Nick Launay (Fire">Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) set for Merge later this year. The band's first Tweet reads, "Hi. We are Divine Fits from LA, CA. We've been making a racket while the pool drains into the yard. We want ...

Bring in the noise, bring in the fun! The perfect prelude for a jam-packed weekend is presented by Symptomatic and provided by the intensely bubbly and enthusiastic Library Voices, on a balmy Friday night. This seven-piece from Canada are so overly and overtly enthusiastic that it’s almost surreal, especially when in the midst of a London crowd, in Hoxton. Nothing comes between this band and their crowd though – Library Voices don’t understand or allow personal space – they get in each other’s space and the audience’s, with total unapologetic elation and ear to ear Cheshire cat grins ...
