Music

Here's three records which have been released this month and are worthy of adding to your ipod this month while it's still here.

Arcade Fire: The Suburbs

Already described by some as the band's masterpiece, Montreal's Arcade Fire have moved away from claustrophobic remnants of Joy Division-esque isolation and closer to Coldplay and MGMT's mainstream territory on 2010's The Suburbs.

Just in case you didn't see it in the U.M.M. mag and you feel it might be worth looking at, here's The Killers' Live From The Royal Albert Hall review, rather than Day & Age, Becci :P.

The Killers – Live From The Royal Albert Hall – DVD & CD

So far Rob and Nick have very kindly agreed to put cheesy xmas tunes/classics (and probably a bit of Muse) on a CD each - so that's two.

Any other ideas, guys? A bit of Rachmaninov to kick the evening off? System of a Down, anyone?

Seriously, if you want anything other than Wonderwall and Santa Claus is Coming to Town, then please step forward.

That's all. Party on.

For those unfamiliar with his work, previous examples of Marilyn Manson's art include dressing as the Pope (and being banned from Italy as a consequence), appearing as a mutilated rendition of Christ on the cover of his 2000 album 'Holy Wood', and using controversial imagery such as post-autopsy infants in his artwork. Due to his shambolic performance at Download Festival earlier this year, many have proclaimed Manson to be a 'falling star', stoking the dying embers of a career. However, his new music video proves that there's as much vitriol left in him as ever.
