Skylark posted:It's here. If you're like me, and you are skeptical of a lot of music that these white guys are making, trying to be genuine and "real" in a sea of awareness, fear not - the video demonstrates that blacks had a dark hand in this music as well. Blacks are ignorant of a lot of the intellectual things that inhibit the creation of art. No hesitation - just the beat in the dark skin. O__O

its cool that the black people of haiti are essentially interchangeable with the black people of brazil, so long as whatever the black people are doing fits the arcade fire's thematic purposes

It's likely that the first time you heard the Arcade Fire's monstrously anticipated fourth album Reflektor, you were—to borrow a phrase that Win Butler spits out like a bite of bad food during the record's disco-noir title track—"staring at a screen." This past Thursday, the band posted to Youtube an 85-minute video which cued up the entirety of the double-album to visuals from Marcel Camus' kaleidoscopic 1959 film Black Orpheus. If something that happens on the internet can be considered An Event, then this certainly was one; in the same moment I saw the band's official tweet announcing it, two people simultaneously instant-messaged me the link. It was late afternoon on the East Coast, lunchtime on the West, and in that moment I did exactly what thousands of other people in those and all other time zones did: Stopped what I was doing, closed some extraneous tabs and programs, and listened. The auto-updating comments became a chronicle of knee-jerk first impressions: fervent gushing ("The bassline on 'Joan of Arc' is loving epic"), groan-worthy puns ("I can't even reflect how excited this makes me!"), and egregious misspellings ("I don't understand what all the fuzz is about"). This scene would have seemed bizarre—and likely a little sad— to us decades ago, and it's frightening to imagine how quaint it will seem in the future. But this is how a lot of people at this moment in time—the one in which Reflektor was made, and the one it distrustfully interrogates—discover new music: Alone; together.

“I am black; I am in total fusion with the world, in sympathetic affinity with the earth, losing my id in the heart of the cosmos -- and the white man, however intelligent he may be, is incapable of understanding Louis Armstrong or songs from the Congo. I am black, not because of a curse, but because my skin has been able to capture all the cosmic effluvia. I am truly a drop of sun under the earth.” -Frantz Fanon, 1952 What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you Reeling with the feeling, don't stop continue -Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1991
