MUSIC THREAD

Arcade Fire's "Keep the Car Running" is one awesome fucking song. Here's a very cool cover done by the Foo Fighters (complete with squeezebox!):

Canuck, you should go see them live, if you haven't already. They are even better live. I got a special copy before the release date of the cd and I can't stop playing it in my car.

 

dreunc, the song with One Republic was featured on So You Think you can Dance, and that is how I was introduced to that song in particular. All the collaborations are unique but really add to the whole CD.

 

Yea, and since I had never heard of One Republic before it made me go and download a bunch of their stuff which is pretty good.

 

dreunc, do they actually have a cd out?

 

No, I think their first comes out in November but they had some stuff on Limewire that I got.

 

What would you recommend good tracks of theirs?

 

All We Are and Goodbye Apathy are pretty good just off the top of my head.

 

Thanks, I am going to download those today.

I can not WAIT for this album.

 

This is a killer track! Just downloaded it...thanks for the link CradleRobber

 

Album samplers for the two biggest albums dropping Sept. 11:

50 Cent's Curtis (sounds like absolute garbage to me, I hate what he has done to rap music)

Kanye West's Graduation, definitely worth a look. It's almost seven minutes long and has snippets from all but one track, I think. You'll be able to figure out from the track list in the iTunes Music Store which songs are which. Sorry for the poor quality of the recording.

Album sounds as good as College Dropout, much better than Late Registration.
