Man, Pitchfork.tv has been really hitting the mark recently. On this week’s One Week Only you can watch the full Arcade Fire Miroir Noir documentary for free.
Watch the full-length documentary after the jump.

All I can say is that Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are looks absolutely awe-inspiring. An alternate version of the song “Wake Up” by Arcade Fire is featured in the full-length trailer. Enjoy.

Arcade Fire – “Wake Up” [Alternate]

The Flaming Lips have been in the news a lot lately for strange reasons (which I guess is only fitting for such a wonderfully strange band).
First, there was their well-publicized tiff with the Arcade Fire.
Then came the announcement that the Lip’s song “Do You Realize??” was named the official state rock song of their home [...]

Bosque Brown – “Went Walking”
“Went Walking” is a stunning, eeriely beautiful track off of Bosque Brown’s first full-length release, Baby which hit stores on March 3rd. If you like whiskey, cigarettes or early Cat Power, I highly recommend adding it to your record collection.
Young Coyotes – “Momentary Drowning” [Daytrotter Session]
Maybe woo hoo ooh hoo oooohohohooo [...]

Bay Area musician Michael Zapruder does things a little differently than most artists. Best known (so far) for his 52 Songs project — for which he recorded and released one track online every week for a year — Zapruder also formed an orchestra dubbed the Rain of Frogs, which features a rotating cast including members [...]

Today’s cover project choice is more “ripped from the headlines” than normal. In recognition of today’s historic inauguration, we’re profiling Sam Cooke’s classic “A Change is Gonna Come.”
A civil rights anthem for decades, the song took on new importance recently when it became the de facto theme for Obama’s election. Everyone and their brother chose [...]

Everybody’s favorite hirsute folkies (ours too) are set to rock serenade the television masses tomorrow night as guest musicians on Saturday Night Live. Rosario Dawson will host. While we haven’t watched more than 20 minutes worth of SNL in years, we assume it’s safe to say that the Foxes’ performance — they’re rumored to play [...]

It’s that time of year again — the turkey leftovers are long gone and we’re hearing Christmas music in every store in town, so it must be time for best-albums-of-year lists.
After screaming matches, insults and a fist fight or two, the dust has settled and the Stranger Dance staff stands before you united with our [...]

This is probably the most excited I’ve been since I started doing this four weeks ago. One track that deserves special attention is Jon Lucien’s “Search for the Inner Self,” another sickening piece of the flawless Gilles Peterson Digs America collection of Jazz & Soul. Also, I had to give Deerhunter two tracks on this [...]

So, apparently you can’t start a music blog without having a top ten list of the past year’s best albums. Even if it’s about a month too late. That’s what Editor-in-Chief The Stranger claims… but relax, the Vague Panther’s list is clearly the best.
