Earlier I played a set of covers. Joya Landis' take on "Angel Of The Morning". New Mommy, Beth Orton coverring The 5 Stairsteps and DeVotchka's version of "Venus In Furs". Last week there was a lively discussion on our blog about cover tunes. If you missed it, take this opportunity to chime in!

Today on our Song Of The Day Podcast we're featuring The Arcade Fire's "Black Mirror" the first single from the forthcoming album Neon Bible. The new disk is finally going to be released on Tuesday! You've heard about them playing in churches. Last week they played SNL and sparked quite a conversation over here. They're selling out every date they announce, including Coachella. They are so hot that if you did a Google blog search you'd have enough reading to get you through the weekend. Find more info on their site/fansite or on the Myspace page.

I mentioned that Arcade Fire's shows are all selling out. The big to-do in the UK reportedly sold out in less than two minutes!

I am just crazy about the Last Town Chorus. "Modern Love" I can take or leave--Bowie and his giant pompadour did it better--but "Boat" and "Huntsville" make my chest hurt.

I actually like that "Modern Love" cover from The Last Town Chorus, but to each his (or her) own! I think she has such a unique way with her instrument. I hear they are playing SXSW; I'm sure it will be packed.
