Playlist August 23, 2010.

I have been a fan of The Sleepy Jackson for some time so I was surprised to have not found out about The Empire Of The Sun before now.  Sprawl II is a standout among the new Arcade Fire tracks, I think, and this live version is great – both for having been directed by Terry Gilliam and for the...
