Regarding Music

Thoughts on music, from popular to classical, both recordings and live concerts.

Name:
Location: San Francisco, California, United States

I'm currently working as an architect with a software consulting firm located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in the Los Angeles area, so I'm pretty much a Californian at heart (although I did spend several years in Boston, just to see what snow was like). My latest hobbies are photography and playing the guitar, although I'm a little bit ambitious and tend to always juggle several new hobbies at once. I hope you enjoy my thoughts!

Springsteen Revival?

I just recently heard a new song by The Arcade Fire called 'Intervention'. I didn't think much of the first album by The Arcade Fire, but this song was an absolute relevation! I loved the bluesy, almost gospel aspects of it, the organ notes, it was such a wonderful sound. It sounded like it had a lot of Springsteen influences, which would make it the second alt band in a year to release music that had a bit of Springsteen in it (the first being The Killer's most recent album, 'Sam's Town'). Is there a Springsteen revival going on? He himself released and album this past year, so maybe more and more of the young hipsters are discovering him and starting to draw from his music. Not a band choice to draw inspiration from, in my opinion.
