Most of you may be following the hilarious drama between M.I.A. and the New York Times. If you are not caught up, the entire ordeal is an easy find.

After the preview of two fairly mediocre songs (Month of May and The Suburbs)- Arcade Fire have announced the release of their new album titled Suburbs out August 3rd on Merge.
