M83 brought one of the best, if not the best single this year to Jimmy Fallon last night. Is there anyone having a bigger breakout year than M83? Victoria Secret commercials, mainstream radio play, critical praise, and that sax. Not one person has done more for the saxaphone since Rob Lowe in St. Elmo's Fire. Enjoy the performance below.
Though unfairly saddled with playing Cindy to SXSW's Marcia and ACL's Jan, Fun Fun Fun Fest offers more music, comedy and garden-variety debauchery over a three-day period than you can shake a stick at. 2011 represents the 6th installment of this upstart festival, and if the schedule is to be believed, FFFF6 is shaping up to be one for the annals. 3-Day Passes and single day tickets are still available for a mere pittance, but if you can't make it, fear not. MOKB is sending an envoy to cover every last note, [...]
I got a little bit of grief when I stated that M83 's " Midnight City " was one of my favorite tracks of 2011, but I still stand by it. I'm even happier, now, to see it put to video. Very X-Men/New Mutants inspired visuals. A group of "talented" kids escape imprisionment and make their way into the big city. Not too long ago, M83 digitally released the Midnight City Remix EP , which features remixes by Trentemøller, Big Black [...]

M83 returns this year with a new two-LP set entitled Hurry Up, We're Dreaming ! Few albums, in the last few years, have had as much staying power with me as 2008's Saturdays=Youth , so to say I'm excited is an understatement. This new cut, " Midnight City ", is an exciting, pulsing jam to say the least and only fuels that fire. Last year, M83 talked to Pitchfork about the new songs, "For now, the [...]
