NEW YORK (Billboard) –Since the release of their third album, 2007's "Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever," the Cribs have built a fervent U.K following. Now the band hopes to mirror that fervor in the United States. Paving the way is its second Warner Bros. album, "Ignore the Ignorant," released stateside November 10. It's the group's first album with new member Johnny Marr

It's a 'progression' - we love a progression. The sound is more ambient, soupier, more lush and less varied than previous albums. It's sort of like Bon Iver, or even Arcade Fire - but obviously completely sounds like its own thing as well. Whilst we'll miss the individual little geological and geographical vignettes rendered in perfect folk splendour, it's nice to have a more cohesive work. Some of...

Spike Jonze, or whoever's cutting these trailers for Where the Wild Things Are , definitely has an accurate sense of the aesthetic preferences of what appears to be the film's target demographic. This French language trailer for Where the Wild Things Are (or Max et Les Maximonstres ) doesn't have any Arcade Fire in it, but the choice of this new Charlotte Gainsbourg track makes the clip no less likely...

In 1999 Pavement released what would turn out to be their final album. "Terror Twilight" was to be the band's swansong. Their final point. By November they had played their final show, bringing an end to the most important band of the 90s. In some quarters, these ones, the most important band of all time. Of course they shared this last decade of the century with other seminal bands such...

Tuesday night at the Fremont Abbey the Seattle Rock Orchestra, now well over 50 musicians strong, celebrated the Arcade Fire's beloved debut album Funeral by playing it start to finish to a sold out crowd. Their performance was so fantastic, so full of love, that I now want every show ever to be exactly like that one. EXACTLY like that one. I want dozens of violin, cello, and viola players to be crowded...

Filed under: News , Electronic , You Oughta Know , Canada Marcus Paquin, mastermind behind CMJ -breakout act Silver Starling , is an emo kid at heart. It's not that he's into black eyeliner and skinny jeans, but in that he isn't afraid to express his emotions. "I've never been able to help myself. When I listen to a record that moves me, I'm the guy who's covering his face because he's bawling...

The fine folks over at A.V. Club have posted their best-of-the-decade music list today, and at number one they've got the White Stripes' White Blood Cells. That pick is sure to start some rabble-rabble below, but it's a solid pick, backing away from the easy gimme of putting Kid A on top. Though I do take umbrage with calling White Blood Cells "true," since most of the songs are far from...

Truth be told, I’ve been hunting for news like this for weeks now, scouring the Interwebs for new signs of life from Interpol—aside from Paul Banks’ slightly underwhelming pseudo solo album and Carlos D’s film career, of course. And just when the most that I could hope for was a speculative “?” post (Arcade Fire one was a hit, right'), drummer Sam Fogarino dropped...

Filed under: Music Appreciation Rod Stewart admittedly doesn't listen to much new music, but, thanks to his kids, he's been hipped to Arcade Fire . He even made it out of the house to see the Montreal septet at the Hollywood Bowl. "They are extraordinary," he tells Spinner. "I haven't been that excited since I saw Free back in the '70s ..." Well, Arcade Fire are great, but Stewart...
