Spike Jonze Trailer: "Her" features Aphex Twin and Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Can I buy the soundtrack please

Spike Jonze's new trailer for his upcoming movie "Her", starring Joachim Phoenix, begins with what is quite possibly the most beautiful song ever written, "Avril 14th" by Aphex Twin.  As the trailer continues and a lonely Phoenix falls in love with his personalized operating system, "Skeletons" by the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs kicks in.  As if there wasn't enough beautiful and heart wrenching music in "Her", Arcade Fire will also be contributing music to the film.  "Her" will be closing the New York Film Festival in October and it will be released theatrically in November.

James Muphy talks new Arcade Fire album

"It's really f*cking epic"

 

James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem front man and producer of the upcoming Arcade Fire album, spoke with NME about the epic nature of the Cunuck's fourth studio album.

"It sounds like Arcade Fire in the way that only Arcade Fire sound like Arcade Fire, you know? It's really fucking epic. Seriously. I mean, I feel at this point like I'm too close to it to really talk it up and do it justice. You know?"

We'll have to wait until October to "sing the chorus", of what is sure to be one of the best albums of the year.

Bonnaroo Memories

Today marks the beginning of the 2013 edition of Bonnaroo.  There are a lot of acts to look forward to, but let's take this opportunity to look back at some of our favorite Bonnaroo memories.

5.  Pearl Jam - 2008
One of the world's biggest rock bands, Pearl Jam, played an epic set at Bonnaroo 2008.  So epic in fact, that they played well over their allotted time leading to the now infamous Kanye West sunrise "Glow in the Dark" debacle.  Pearl Jam played hit after hit for the enthusiastic Bonnaroo crowd.

 

4.  Arcade Fire - 2011

2011 was a great year for Arcade Fire and it included a headlining set at Bonnaroo.  Their set was filled with songs off their Grammy winning album "The Suburbs", but it was during "Rebellion (Lies)" that Win Butler ventured out into the Bonnaroo crowd, making for one of the best memories at Bonnaroo.

3.  David Byrne - 2009

2009 was a great year at Bonnaroo with Phish, Bruce Springsteen, Nine Inch Nails, the Beastie Boys and David Byrne performing.  Byrne's performance was one part music, one part dance, and one hundred percent fun.  David Byrne is playing this year's fest with St. Vincent and it will surely be a highlight.

2.  Bruce Springsteen - 2009

Did I mention that 2009 was an amazing year?  Bruce Springsteen's headlining set at Bonnaroo will go down in the history books as one of the best ever.  He played for over 3 hours, wowing fans with hit after hit and even taking requests from the crowd.  When Bruce recieved a sign asking him to play "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" he smiled and said "It's too fucking hot for Santa!".  The crowd cheered and the band played on, making it an unforgettable Bonnaroo moment.

 

1.  Dan Auerbach/Dr. John Superjam - 2011

This Superjam is what Bonnaroo is all about.  Talented musicians, playing great music, to an enthusiastic crowd.  After this jam, Auerbach went on to produce Dr. John's 2012 album "Locked Down".  Proving that it was a match made in musical heaven.

 

Watch Win Butler perform with the Rolling Stones

2013 has been a great year for Arcade Fire's Win Butler.  He became a father, he is working with LCD Soundsystem mastermind James Murphy on a new Arcade Fire album and last night, he joined the Rolling Stones on stage in Montreal.  Watch them perform "The Last Time" below.

Arcade Fire Have a Baby

It's a Boy!

Win Butler and Régine Chassagne are the proud parents of a baby boy!  Le Journal de Montreal reports, that baby Butler was born on April 21, and is 7lbs.  I guess a daughter was "too much to ask".  Congratulations to the new parents!
