So. Central rain (I'm sorry) - R.E.M.

Today it's been kind of a REM day for me. Time to get back to the (almost) origins! I've been through Reckoning and Fables of the reconstruction, and sure enough I'll pick what is probably my favourite of the whole mid-80s period. So, I'm sorry (for the others), but for now I'm gonna pick Central rain!

Reflektor - Arcade Fire

New Arcade Fire album, Reflektor, is out today (well, yesterday actually)! I just downloaded the digital version thanks to my pre-order, I'm waiting to be able to pick up the physical copy and I'm really excited. They have been making a good deal of promotion for it, most of the songs have been made available before the release in various ways (live videos, videos, a movie...). The beginning of it all was the release of Reflektor, a very peculiar track with a sound that calls back to the 80s. The band has released a regular video for the song + an interactive video, which is really amazing (you can find it here).
