Arcade Fire Celebrates No. 2 Status
1. Arcade Fire, “Kiss Off†(Violent Femmes cover)
Now that In Rainbows has rendered these Canadians merely the second most important band on the planet, they retaliate with this angsty cover. [Music Slut]
2. Cold War Kids, “I Don’t Want to Grow Up†(Tom Waits cover)
The blog band cover the Bone Machine track, tolerably. [Music Slut]
3. The Kooks, “All That She Wants†(Ace of Base cover)
All kidding aside, this is actually pretty great. [Fuel Friends]
4. Daft Punk, “Too Long/Steam Machine†(live)
A brand-new song by our all-time favorite pyramid-inhabiting robot duo. [Culture Bully]
5. Colin Meloy, “Every Day Is Like Sunday†(Smiths cover)
We never would’ve taken the super-fey, hyperliterate Decemberists front man for a Smiths fan, but we stand corrected. [Captain Obvious]
