Arcade Fire is back! Stream the band’s first new recording in four (long) years below, which also features the one and only Mavis Staples on vocals. In a tweet accompanying the song’s release, Arcade Fire explain, “It’s never been more important that we stick together & take care of each other.” All proceeds will benefit ACLU.org.

Arcade Fire has finished recording their new album and plans to release it later this year.

[mix] (31) Days of Good: 2010

November 7, 2016 Concrete Opinions Leave a comment

As I prep #31days2016, I find myself exploring the tunes from past (31) Days of Good. It seems counter productive when i’m writing about the best new music of the year, but listening to old favorites seems to motivate me more. Last month, Brendan and I revisited the early blogspot days of Concrete Opinions and 35mmBeats on Revolutions Per Minute and had a blast. So, as we approach the “best of season”, i thought it would be nice to share my old (31) Days of Good playlists.

Enjoy.
