As a general rule of thumb, I'm not a huge fan of covers, because if a song is good enough to cover, it's unlikely another band will do it justice. And the worst is if it's a song that's been released in the past few years. Ugh I'm probably already sick of the track, I don't want to hear it even more. Having said that, there obviously are exceptions (I'm not that close-minded) - a recent one being The Last Bison 's remake of M83 [...]
The Last Bison have put their acousticana stamp on a dramatic and soaring cover of M832s "Midnight City." They turn the song inside out in all the best ways. Watch it below. The band's debut album, Inheritance is out tomorrow. Purchase the record here. The band performs twice in our area on Friday, June 21st; ... Continue reading
M83’s “Hurry Up. We’re Dreaming.” trilogy is the best video experience of 2012.
Nothing beats the blues on a Friday better than some spacy shoegaze electro, while waiting for the madness of a Friday evening? Well maybe not, but either way, this remix is amazing! Follow / [FACEBOOK] Other / [OFFICIAL SITE]
Fleur & Manu 's video trilogy for M83 's Hurry Up We're Dreaming comes to a close with a piece for album standout "Wait." Created in conjunction with the Creator's Project , part three closes out the tale of F&M's runaway super-kids that began in "Midnight City" and "Reunion." "Wait" is an ambiguous end to the story, presenting a post-apocalyptic world presumably brought about by the continued exploits of our young protagonists. In the words of the directors themselves, "We felt it was important to re-connect with a meaningful subject that would [...]
In a trilogy that's seen stunning videos for "Midnight City" and "Reunion" , it's now time for M83 to round it out with his video for "Wait" , another epic journey from the minds of Fleur & Manu in an end-of-the-world type scenario. The visuals are again amazing, so make sure to turn that dial to HD for its true glory. "Wait" is taken from M83 's 2011 album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming [...]

Friend of City Hall, The Melker Project sent me this heater. Superthug vs Midnight City vs Get Me Bodied aka Nore Vs. M83 Vs. Beyonce
If you look up the word “euphoria” in the dictionary, the definition will simply read “M83”. Probably. Their 80s electro and shoegaze inspired sound - awash with droning spacey synths, live drum beats and mesmeric vocals – inspires a certain kind of elated euphoria, the sort to have the audience’s kneels trembling, palms to the sky and hearts raised to the heavens. Brixton Academy was the last leg in the band’s current tour of Europe for their third album ‘Hurry Up, We’re [...]
![[on the rise] Trails and Ways](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4578808_lg.jpg)
photo magic credits to Alex Khomyakov via facebook I must admit, this post is long overdue. Along with the rest of the blogosphere, I've been obsessing over Trails and Ways for the last couple of months, so i'm a little confused on why I waited this long to spread the love. Oh well, better late than never. Hailing from Oakland, CA, this quartet is producing some of the most infectious dream pop (or [...]
Tapping the same genome that M83 's "Midnight City" and the Big Pink 's "Dominos" made deservedly famous, Parade of Lights , a Los Angeles band release a stunning first single, "Just Give It Up." Made for late nights and the fuzzy neon of downtown, "Just Give It Up" smashes its way through a shout along arrangement rooted in an enormous back beat and a karate-chop sample loop that offers an implied and metaphorical violence. There is even a hint of an ode to the Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy" in [...]
I realized today its been nearly a year since we last "took cover" so to speak... and thats just plain bogus! So to make it up to you I've compiled a few of my favorites from the past few months. And just like that Tuesdays are relevant again. MP3: John Mayer: Video Games (Lana Del Ray) MP3: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr: Like A Prayer (Madonna) MP3: Avec Sans: Perth (Bon Iver) MP3: [...]
Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Song: M83 - Midnight City (Trails And Ways Cover) [download here ] What's so good? One of the best feelings ever is hitting play on a song, only to find yourself saying 5 seconds later: "HOLY CRAP THIS IS [...]
I was first introduced to Trails and Ways earlier this year when I stumbled on their amazing, bilingual, cover of " Miracle " by Ghost Beach . They transformed one of my favorite summertime, synth jams into a tropical, bongo infused, beat. They use the same treatment with other covers like "Animal" by Miike Snow and M832s " Midnight City ." However, It's their original music that had me yearning for more. This [...]
Ohh shit it's Saturday night and this one's a banger. One hour of pure dance music. It's progressive, it's tech house, it's just the right mix of delicate and grimy in the mid-1202s that's not too fast and not too slow. Some originals, some remixes of his originals (weird), and the occasional hit - dance your [...]
We know you all have been going bonkers with anticipation over the identity of our surprise guest for Friday's All Things Gold One Year Anniversary show at the 9:30 Club, so we won't keep you in the dark any longer. If you weren't already excited enough for RAC , Vacationer , POP ETC and French Horn Rebellion , we have some friends who may put you over the edge: The Knocks. Though the band consists of only two people, the party gods have blessed both B-Roc and JPatt with enough rage factor to [...]
Mo Cities Mo Problems - Diddy, Mase & Biggie vs. M83 - Carlos Serrano Mix - Click to download Carlos Serrano is back with his latest mashup, combining Mo Money Mo Problems with Midnight City. Great track to start our week off. Catch Carlos on facebook .
President William Jefferson Clinton is known as 'da pimp ass President'. He used to Oval Office to comb Washington DC for pussie, and used the White House as his sex den where hefty bitches would give him hummers, get fingered by cigars, and let him use their face, dress, and breasts as his own personal cum target. U gotta give him props 4 nvr getting impeached. Anyways, one of his passions is playing the saxophone. Recently, M83 went on the Arsenio Hall show, and spent some time 'playing Midnight City', which means running [...]
Recently I stated that Saint Saviour 's debut long player Union would be one of the best listens 2012 has to offer and after previewing the album in full, my statement still stands. Two clips here! Watch as the climatic first single "I Call This Home" gets an intense visual treatment directed by Tim Brown. Then view the extremely talented singer-songwriter smash M832s "Midnight City" to pieces with her fantastic cover that'll have you second guessing which version you prefer. Strongly suggest you pick up Union when it sees daylight on [...]
Een van de lekkerste hits van vorig jaar moet toch wel M832s Midnight City zijn geweest. Het heeft een onweerstaanbare 'hook' die je overal tussen vandaan herkent en die zich in je hoofd nestelt om er niet meer uit te komen. Het heeft een lekkere flow en is niet voor niks door de toonaangevende blogs tot het beste nummer van 2011 uitgeroepen. Commercieel gezien legt het M83 ook geen windeieren. Het nummer is van de tracks die door de BBC worden gebruikt bij de promotiefilmpjes voor de Olympische Spelen en inmiddels bereikt het nummer ook een paar hitlijsten. [...]
