dis: miroir noir

After a few days of waiting (well it came out on the 5th of March) i bought Neon Bible – the new arcade fire album.

L and I were listening to it in the car – and after hearing Black Mirror we got to the second song.

Holy smoke ! I thought i was listening to Bruce Springsteen.

I suppose i should have the album in front of me to reference the song i’m referencing here, but it very well had the sound of the Boss.

It was like 1984 all over again. I suppose i should check the album for a bandana in the back pocket of some well worn jeans.

It was good. It was what i desire. (Whoa, oh, oh, i’m on fire.) I’m looking forward to hearing more of Neon Bible.

Un, deux, trois, du miroir noir

When i first heard the new Arcade Fire i thought it was a long lost treasure from the goth days of the 1980s. Hell, for all I know about Bauhaus.

I was so pleasantly surprise to hear it was not only new, but Canadian, and Arcade Fire.

then i heard it again on the CBC radio 3 podcast… after an interview with the band.

You can hear it by going to the Arcade Fire site, clicking on “Win” and then on “black mirror”.

It’s good times.

POST SCRIPT: Shared the song with my coworker (or cowerker if we’re going all Bauhaus here) – he was okay with it. I tell you though, i’m digging this song – and i’m not talking ‘digg’ as in web 2.0, but dig as in lovin’ it old school.

UPDATE #2: Duh! I  should learn to spell “deux” correctly.  Still loving the song…
