TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX.

Things that make me universally happy? New Arcade Fire. Things that make me universally happy in the kind of way that chocolate does. The new Arcade Fire album being released on my birthday, August 3. There's a list of maybe five bands that sends me into some kind of joyous, musical coma, and Arcade Fire is without a doubt one of them. You can listen to their new singles, the Suburbs and Months of May here. And pre-order the album on the site as well.
