Arcade Fire Meets Spamalot

What do Monty Python, Bruce Willis and Arcade Fire have in common? Well, they have all worked with the great and eccentric film maker, Terry Gilliam. Gilliam, who's works include: 12 Monkys, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Brazil, has signed on to direct the Arcade Fire's live streaming show on August 5th, in New York. Its all part of a series called "unstaged" sponsored by American Express and Vevo.

Here's hoping he's got some great and corky visuals up his sleeve.

Hear new Walkmen track: 'Stranded'. On NPR!!

The new Walkmen's album Lisbon isn't due out till September, but we get a little taste of what to expect with the release of the single Stranded, posted on NPR.

The new single sounds very dramatic with the incorporation of horns accompanied with Hamilton's smokey vocals. This is a great amuse-bouche to wet the pallet in anticipation for the new album, coming out September 14th.

I Need To Get My Shit Together

Its true. I started this blog close to 2 years ago and could only muster 2 posts?!?! I wanted to use this blog as a means of expressing my opinion on all things music (good music of course). I want to start fresh and post something at least once a day from now on. I honestly don't care if anyone reads it or not...this is for me.
