Following the release of their third album, The Suburbs, Arcade Fire will take the stage at Madison Square Garden for a two-night stint on August 4th and 5th. They will be joined by label-mates, Spoon. Tickets are still available and a dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to Partners In Health, an organization helping impoverished communities around the world combat disease and poverty. Kudos to Arcade Fire for giving back.

As for the rest of us who do not have the pleasure of living in NYC, the August 5th show will be streamed live on Youtube. This will be the inaugural concert of a new live music venture between Vevo and YouTube, which is sponsored by American Express. Trailer below…

Beck is Infinitely Cooler Than We Will Ever Be

Beck continues to push the boundaries of creativity and music industry normalcy (if there is such a thing anymore). His recent venture is a new series on his website called Irrelevant Topics featuring “extended informal conversations with musicians, artists, filmmakers, and other various personages [...] without promotional pretext or editorial direction.” The first artist to be featured in the series is the great Tom Waits. Check out Part 1 here.

Also on Beck.com, keep an eye out for a new feature titled Record Club, “an informal meeting of various people to record an album in a day. An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted… Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time.” Tracks will be uploaded once a week on Beck’s site and on the web sites of those involved with the project.

Well done (as usual), Beck! We like what you’re up to.
