Stylus jukebox, Arcade Fire wins it, I am the only person to see genius in the Rasmus single.

I have a bunch of MP3 requests to fill and will give it a shot tonight, incidentally.

The radio version of "Wait" came on Radio 1 this morning. Jo Whiley said afterwards "I spent the first minute of that praying I'd not played the dirty version".

Does it sound like The video (http://www.tvtrecords.com/video/2520/v2520_1_01_320x240.mov)?

Lex, check your mail.

So the Arcade Fire is an anthemic piano house record", wot? I have never heard them, knowingly, I don't think, but I never expected that.

Hats off for the Wait write-ups, good and bad--it's been around for ages now but, still, I can't get out a coherent sentence on the thing. I'm not sure if it's a simple love it or hate it thing--hating almost seems an admit of defeat [this argument against hiphop has been around forever] but it is almost too repellent to love.

I quite like it.
