Arcade Fire, The Wilderness Downtown

I want to share a nice project which is largely spread over the internet. I let you discover it.

I really like that. This is a real good example of what music industry should develop to bring a new value to music. And ease the way they share and sell music.

Enjoy!

The XX wins Mercury Prize

As you may have seen elsewhere The XX wins the Mercury Prize. Some competitors were Corinne Bailey Ray, Foals, Dizzee Rascal.

As I'm curious I had a look at the past nominees and winners of the prize. They are listed here. First prize was decerned to Primal Scream in '92. U2 and Simply Red were some of their competitors. Lists of past years for nominees are also impressive (Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Coldplay, Bloc Party...).

Ting Tings, Hands

Oh, here is a big event : the new single from the Ting Tings ! It's called Hands and is released on october the 11th.

If the other tracks of the album to come named Kunst are on the same line, The Ting Tings are definitely going to more electropop music. Big influence of the 80s in the music, images and also in Katie White's haircut !
