M83

[got_edge]

3 years later and I just had this discussion with Cujo this week. I still don't know, I say it as M-eight-three.

I vote eighty-three.

And thanks for the reminder to get the new album

 

[the tourist]

Graveyard Girl and Skin Of The Night are my favs.

 

[the tourist]

This music is seriously growing on me the more I listen to it.

 

[AtomicBono]

You, Appearing.

Couleurs | Pitchfork.tv

I love this song! Can't wait to check it out.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Just got this off i-tunes. So far...I'm digging the 80s retro sound.

 

[the tourist]

Kim and Jessie is now my favourite off Saturdays=Youth. But I think Farewell Goodnight might be my favourite overall.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Couleurs is my fave. But I think I prefer Before The Dawn Heals Us over Saturdays = Youth. There's just something special, creepy and otherworldly about BTDHU.

M83 have just supported Kings of Leon so i have seen them a couple of times. To be honest i was not that impressed although i know its hard to judge a band who are just a warm up act for someone else!

 

[the tourist]

I hate it when a band I like opens for bands I don't like.

M83 are not in Kings of Leons class sorry they are a mile off!

Ok, Andy, we get it. You're a HUGE Kings of Leon fan. LOUD and CLEAR.

That doesn't mean you can go into other people's threads about other bands and put that band down just b/c another user doesn't happen to think KOL are the greatest.

Not cool.

Oh right, I'm sorry. Kings Of Leon are the new The Strokes... or something.

 

[u2popmofo]

Well, he is right though. They're in very drastically different classes, though I'm probably thinking of it a bit differently than he is....

I think Dead Cities is still my fav., Fitz. Granted, it was my introduction to them, so I'm probably biased and have had more time with it than the others. Oddly, I probably enjoy Saturdays=Youth overall as an actual "album", but I still have to give favorites to Dead Cities.

I've said it before, but I love M83's album and singles covers. For kicks, here are a couple of my favs.

Tuesday, January 27:
NBC: Late Night With Conan O'Brien: M83

This is tonight. Watch or die. There is no middle ground, because I was given no boundaries as a child.

 

[FitzChivalry]

^ Yay! And tonight I can actually stay up late b/c I don't have court in the morning.

Court? Have you been involved in KNIFE CRIME, Fitz?!

 

[FitzChivalry]

No, but I can represent someone charged with one.

Thanks for the heads up...I'm gonna DVR it tonite. Just downloaded Saturdays=Youth today after hearing 'Kim & Jessie" amillion times on SiriusXM.

John Hughes needs to make a movie to go with this.....

 

[u2popmofo]

When you say "downloaded", I hope you mean iTunes. M83 deserve everyone's money.

 

[Elvis Presley]

I'm looking forward to the performance tonight , they will be performing "Kim & Jessie" for Conan...

 

[u2popmofo]

I was hoping it'd be that'n.

 

[bono_212]

Gotta try and remember to watch this, if that's what they're gonna do

 

[u2popmofo]

Did anyone else watch the performance? It was beautiful! The guitar solo at the end was fantastic.

 

[bono_212]

Damn it, Mofo! Thanks for letting me forget. This is your fault.

I'll have to Youtube it later.

 

[u2popmofo]

Conan streams the entire show on his site for a few days. Just check tomorrow, and you can watch it in considerably better quality than Youtube. I watched The Walkmen performance from last night on there earlier today. Generally, just click on the second to last break before the very end, and you can watch immediately from the musical performance.

Anyways, I'm still extremely happy with M83's performance. They get a lot of flack for supposedly being "boring" live, but I thought they were quite engaging and sounded fantastic on Conan.

 

[bono_212]

Oh yeah, I forgot Conan's online now. I'll check it out tomorrow then .

mmmmm.....I have a Zune, so I use the Zune Marketplace. We're PC's not Macs.

As long as it's legal, I'm happy.

By the way, if you like Saturdays=Youth, both Dead Cities and Before the Dawn are fantastic as well.
