This song is one of many inspired by frontman Age,” which ponders upon the modern age, passion, and reflection. Selecting just a few standout tracks is especially difficult with this album, which was created as a double feature album only after the band decided that most of the songs were too essential to pass up. Each song on this album has their own quirks to it, such as We Exist’s Billie Jean-esque bass line, Normal Person’s rockabilly guitar and piano riffs, “Here Comes the Night Time’s tropical melodies, and Joan of Arc’s punk cadence. Fans of this band will be pleasantly surprised by the twang of Arcade Fire’s new album, and newcomers alike will also be able to appreciate the refreshing sound that is Arcade Fire. all graphics courtesy wikicommons.

    Indie Mixtape :: View email as a web page :: Arcade Fire apparently is in the midst of working on a new album, with writing having “intensified” during the pandemic. In spite of ourselves, we are interested in hearing this quarantine opus, even though we openly disliked their previous album, 2017’s Everything Now. Arcade Fire is also on our brains lately because the 10th anniversary of their third ( and we would argue greatest) album, The Suburbs, was this past weekend. That album, like all Arcade Fire LPs, is a mix of breathtaking musical moments and grandiose, eyeroll-inducing thematic gestures. And yet we wouldn’t want Arcade Fire to be any other way. Sometimes they miss in embarrassing fashion, and other times they absolutely crush it. But they always swing big. For this list of our 20 favorite Arcade Fire songs, we took stock of the crushes while also attempting to understand how and why they miss. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century PS: Was this email forwarded to you?

Katie Petts said that she would compare Spangler to someone like Jack Sparrow. “She’s the odd character that everyone loves,” Petts said. But, frankly, not everyone loves Spangler. Some make statements such as, “She’s off in her own little world singing songs.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fans get backstage pass to Arcade Fire with The Reflektor Tapes in Cineplex Theatres Cineplex’s Music at the Movies series continues with Arcade Fire, Roger Waters docs, and live performances from Eric Clapton and The Who. TORONTO, ON – August 27, 2015 – Canadian indie-rock legends Arcade Fire are playing at a Cineplex theatre near you when the all-access documentary The Reflektor Tapes hits the big screen on September 23, 2015, after its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Gelms As our digital environments—in their inhabitants, communities, and cultures—have evolved, harassment, unfortunately, has become the status quo on the internet (Duggan, 2014 & 2017; Jane, 2014b). Harassment is an issue that disproportionately affects women, particularly women of color (Citron, 2014; Mantilla, 2015), LGBTQIA+ women (Herring et al., 2002; Warzel, 2016), and women who engage in social justice, civil rights, and feminist discourses (Cole, 2015; Davies, 2015; Jane, 2014a). Whitney Phillips (2015) notes that it’s politically significant to pay attention to issues of online harassment because this kind of invective calls “attention to dominant cultural mores” (p. 7). Keeping our finger on the pulse of such attitudes is imperative to understand who is excluded from digital publics and how these exclusions perpetuate racism and sexism to “preserve the internet as a space free of politics and thus free of challenge to white masculine heterosexual hegemony” (Higgin, 2013, n.p.). While rhetoric and writing as a field has a long history of examining myriad exclusionary practices that occur in public discourses, we still have much work to do in understanding how online harassment, particularly that which is gendered, manifests in digital publics and to what rhetorical effect.

During this time, songs from nearly every high profile indie rock release seemed to find their way onto music blogs (often, to the chagrin of the music industry, far before slated release dates).

The Best Of British Summer Heights High SUBSCRIPTION TV PREMIERE Thursdays at 8.30pm from August 13 Following the internationally acclaimed hit series WE CAN BE HEROES about the search for Australian on the Year, the award-winning high-school mockumentary SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH spotlights the incisive observation and piercing comedy of Chris Lilley, who both wrote the series and portrays all three main characters. Filmed in a documentary style, with non-actors playing supporting characters Chris Lilley reveals what really happens in an average Australian high school as epitomised by its three main protagonists: Mr G - “Two words, deal with it” - The Megalomaniac "Director of Performing Arts" Mr G who, despite relentless opposition, cancels the traditional school musical so that he can write his own original "Arena Spectacular". Ja'mie King - “I don’t want to be a bitch, but…” - A self-absorbed, privileged teenager who is taking part in a swap scheme to bridge the divide between state and private schools, but finds she is way out of her comfort zone. Jonah Takalua - “Puck you Miss” - A contemptuous Tongan break-dancer and graffitist who was previously expelled for setting fire to lockers and defacing the principal's car. Hilarious, absurd and frequently shocking, SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH reveals a world where the seemingly huge traumas of friendship, staff politics, schoolwork and relationships are the fabric of life in the school universe. SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH is followed at 9pm by Australian sketch comedy at it’s finest with BIG BITE – see the early days of Chris Lilley’s character Mr G (also look out for Deal Or No Deal’s Andrew O’Keefe).
