One name who has notably not offered to assist the leakers is vehement anti-Trump and pro-Clinton billionaire Mark Cuban....

Arcade Fire ambitiously tackles information overload onEverything Now— but it's hit-and-miss

Since Arcade Fire debuted withFuneral, their 2004 masterpiece about death and grieving, one aspect has defined their epic music above all else: Theyre not ones for subtlety. Like 2013s overwroughtReflektor, the bands fifth LP tackles information overload in the digital age but the result is hit-and-miss. The concept lands beautifully on Everything Now, a heartland-rock ode to consumption; less so on Infinite Content, a 97-second ditty with the trite refrain Infinite content, were infinitely content....

Arcade Fire tricks the crowd at 'secret' show in Brooklyn

In retrospect, it shouldve been obvious. We can only get three members for right now, he said. Id like to introduce the Reflektors! So, the show started with a trick. If fans were upset, though, they quickly got over it. Within a few minutes into the set, the reoriented crowd was going nuts. The packed warehouse responded accordingly, dancing along through a set ofReflektorsongs theyd never heard before. The crowd ate (and drank) it all up....

It really is that simple. We were one of the least-known acts on the bill for a web link audience. Dont you think I wanted a better slot for the band? Rodgers assurances arent likely to change Stoutes mind, though. What mystifies this record company executive is that the highest-selling musicians do not necessarily dominate the Grammy Awards. Apparently Stoute forgot that todays top hitmakers already receive a much more valuable reward… its called money....

Arcade Fire's revolutionary 'We Used to Wait' video: Director Chris Milk explains how it was created

Honestly, Im not sure music videos can ever really touch you as deeply as music alone can. Music scores your life. You interact with it. It becomes the soundtrack to that one summer with that one girl. Music videos are very concrete and rigid because they rely on someone elses vision. Cutting-edge Web elements help makeThe Wilderness Downtowna more personal, immersive experience. The concept really came about as a way to bring two ideas together, Milk says....
