A couple of days ago, Arcade Fire Tube released a video of Arcade Fire performing “Crucified Again”, a new song (from New York last Thursday, 4 oct). The band has played the the track before (Hotel Oloffson, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) but this is the first time the song was captured on video.
The official release date or title for their new album, however, has yet to be confirmed.
Check it out!

From Wikipedia:
Jonas Fjeld (born Terje Lillegård Jensen; 24 September 1952 in Bodø, Norway) is a Norwegian singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He is best known in the English-speaking world for two albums recorded by Danko/Fjeld/Andersen, a collaboration with Canadian Rick Danko of The Band and American singer-songwriter Eric Andersen. Fjeld also recorded two albums with the American bluegrass group Chatham County Line.
He is 60 years old today!

Ok, so where do I start? Do I pick one from each of his ten best albums, or do I divide his career into 10 year periods and pick equally from every period? Or do I simply let my emotions decide, and pick what feels right today? That’s what I ‘ll do, like I allways do, I go with what feels right at this particular moment.
Springsteen is a fantastic songwriter and a formidable performer, for me he is easily in the top 3 both as a singer/songwriter and as a performing artist.
To pick 10 songs from the hundreds he has written is not easy, but here we go.

3.) The River

5) Adam Raised a Cain

Just a fun video to start the weekend, and so cathcy, you’ll hum along in no time, this is perfect pop.
