>R.I.P Lou Reed•

Sad news of the passing of Lou Reed this morning. The Velvet Underground founder and member was 71years old. Having the pleasure of seeing the icon perform live was such a memorable performance that I shall always cherish. In memory of the music great, Lou Reed. Thanks for your timeless contributions to music…

>New Arcade Fire: Reflektor*

20130914-154553.jpg

Has worldwide recognition and a Grammy gone to Arcade Fire’s head? It could seem that way with not one, but two video releases for the new single ‘Reflektor‘.

Clocking in just short of the 8minute mark, the Anton Corbijn directed video features the band sporting inflated mâché heads in their likeness.

A second interactive video was also launched at justareflektor.com but requires viewer participation (and the ability to use Google). However ‘Reflektor‘ is packaged, the first material since 2010’s ‘The Suburbs,’ proves the band is able to stay innovative without compromising substance.

Oh, and David Bowie has confirmed, it is indeed he you hear providing background vocals….
