YES! That song is f**king amazing. Love Secret Machines, hope they play this summer, I've already missed them twice :(

now theres a band that has grabbed me by the balls. that tune has everything, very dancy but a great song with great lyrics. My fave song at the moment. Pissing everyone off at work listening to it over and over again. BLOWING ALL THE OTHER KIDS AWAY

yeah, completely. I missed them with The Killers when they were doing the $2 tour in the States and again with The Chemical Brothers at the Point. They are definately one of the best bands out there at the moment.

Beck's "Electric Music & The Summer People", an Odelay era B-side and also two non-album Arcade Fire tracks I found on t'net. "Old Flame" is one of them, the other song title escapes me...What a band though.

ooh, 'Old Flame', eh? Is it a B-side?

Not sure. Unless they've released some EPs in the States pre-Funeral. There's a track called Woodland National Anthem also (I aint heard it) and Vampire something something. I read that the B-Side on Laika is great and really bizarre. Some sort of Wartime recording that eventually becomes a dance track? Must check out.

gonna check that out now, cheers.
