First Videos of the Godspeed Reunion Are Now Online!

Godspeed You! Black Emperor made their return this past weekend by curating the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in England.  Someone named, "Polar1One", videotaped the show and they've now been uploaded to youtube.  I can't wait to see them live!  Here are the videos:

  

Post-Thanksgiving: Primal Scream, The National, Z-Trip, Atlas Sound Arcade Fire covers Smiths, and more

Lots of good stuff from the holiday weekend.  Mainly the videos from the Primal Scream Screamadelica shows.  Seeing them doing Loaded was pretty fuckin' awesome and it's something that I've never seen.  The chances of a show like that coming to the US is pretty rare but damn.  They should get together with Suede and knock it out.

Back from Vacation, Tons of News

So let's try something new.  I've been on vacation for over a week and have gathered up a ton of links to interesting stories.  Instead of writing a bunch of little stories for each thing, I'm just going to lump them all in this one post.  This should get me all caught up and ready for the rest of the week.

Suede Are Still Alive, Releasing 2CD Best Of

I have been listening to a lot of Suede lately, revisiting all those awesome b-sides when I saw the news that they will be releasing another 'best of' collection (track list below).  Suede reunited earlier this year for a one-off show, but have continued and will be playing their largest indoor gig ever at the London O2 Arena on December 7th.  Their best of collection, "The Best Of Suede", will be released on November 1st and has a bunch of remastered singles, album tracks and bsides.  Looking over the tracklist I'm happy that it focuses on their earlish career and not so much on their latter albums.  I'm also pleased that they consider, "Europe is our Playground" and "My Dark Star" among the best of Suede.
