The Arcade Fire - Miroir Noir

The Miroir Noir is a new documentary film by The Arcade Fire.Filmed in 2006 and 2007, the film features live performances, in-studio recording sessions, not one but two performances in an elevator and some artsy fluff scenes sprinkled in between. At some points in this film, the artsy scenes become irritating and leaves me wanting to get to the content.Other than this minor annoyance, It's a great film by a great band. It is always interesting to watch great bands creating and recording. The Miroir Noir is available now as a digital download. The film can be found in the link section.

No new Postal Service?

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Ben Gibbard spoke smashed our hopes concerning a new Postal Service record saying, "It's the record that never seems to want to come out. It's also just never been a priority...There never really was a plan to do a second album."
I guess it's time for us Postal Service fans to head to our respective showers and let the water wash away the torrent of tears.

An obsession with claps.

Lately I've had a strange obsession with songs that have hand claps in them. I don't care if they are electronic claps or human claps, I'm not judging. I just need more of that clappity-clap goodness! I'm not sure why I've formed this obsession, but I have a suspicion that it may just be that I pretend that the hand claps are really applause for me being so amazing. Or maybe it's just that hand claps make the music extremely catchy. But whatever the reason, hand claps in songs is the new trend, and of course we all need to hop on the trend train, like always.
So fortunately for you, I am going to share my obsession. Here are a few songs I've been listening to lately that contain hand claps in one form or another. Feel free to share your obsessions in the comments. And don't be afraid to clap along, participation feels good. I promise.

Alex Tschan

I like Alex Tschan’s music. I like his band The House Floor, but I like his solo stuff much more. Every time one of his solo songs comes up on shuffle I listen and enjoy it. This is not so with The House Floor, I’m just not always in the mood to get smacked in the face by social injustices.

I have nothing against The House Floor other than it seems to take Alex Tschan’s focus away from writing more solo music. There needs to be a massive myspace comment movement dedicated to letting Alex Tschan know that we fans are unsatiated by the few songs we have.

Ps: Check out Alex Tschan

Band Spotlight: Ghostland Observatory

MP3 Download: Heavy Heart (Right Click hit Save as)

If Daft Punk, David Bowie and Queen all got together and had a love child, the child's name would be Ghostland Observatory. Band members Thomas Turner and Aaron Behrens spend countless hours in their south Austin studio and it really shows. Their latest effort is Robotique Majestique, and track after track is filled with electro-rock goodness. I highly recommend picking this record up and spending the night in your living room flailing around to the beats with reckless abandon.
