Today's Quick Mention: While doing a
little browsing yesterday I happened to
notice a couple of videos on Pitchfork that might be worth your time. Both
feature Tame Impala out in the middle of nowhere
performing hazy numbers off the recently released
and rather good Innerspeaker. Check
them
out.
I know the new Arcade Fire singles are everywhere,
but unlike the little two-songer they put out a few
weeks back, I actually found myself instantly drawn
in by what the web yesterday. So why not add
another thought onto the already massive pile, right?
Could be fun. The US tune is below
(hear the UK one
here).
The
Suburbs will be out August 3. Enjoy.

Fire - Ready To Start:
"Now you're knocking at my door/Saying please come out with
us tonight/But I would rather be alone/Then pretend I feel
all right" It might be strange to say, but I don't
think I've ever really thought of the Arcade Fire as a "pop"
band. To me they've just always been this larger than
life/universally adored artsy act with a penchant for making
simple songs sound like epic pieces. Read To Start,
however, is definitely altering that opinion. It
doesn't feel epic. Hell, it's not even overly special
(see Wake Up below). But it's warm and
inviting, and I'm actually excited that it'll be owning the
radio waves all summer.
