M83 - Outro
The real thing might suck sometimes, but the French concept of your teenage years is always perfect - self discovery, chemical (and peer) exploration, finding your personal brand, passing out on Sparks-soaked linoleum and doing it all over again.
But living for today is boring when you can be a Hollywood star from the glamorized redux of 80s pop culture. The Teenagers name drop Dirty Dancing and proclaim their love for all things 90210, M83's Saturdays=Youth is a self-described ode to teenage life on MTV, and Kavinsky's "Flashback," (from the 1986 EP, of course), documents the cool kid's dangerous post-prom moonlight Ferrari excursions. Now France's David Grellier, known on the electrobloghaus circuit as College, is rebuilding the cache of your forgotten early-morning/after epiphanies right alongside his peers, retouching blemishes and socially awkward incidents with the stroke of a synth. Call it Kavinsky on klonopin or M83 on a hott clap holiday.

Last week's BT masterpizzle theatre paired the diamondy brilliance of Cut Copy's Far Away with our favorite VHS teen bike challenge. Tonight we match a track from M83's forthcoming LP Saturdays = Youth with wormholes and Sparkle Motion, as frontman Anthony Gonzalez says the record tackles how it feels to be dazed, confused and 15 years old. You might call this version "Gretchen & Donnie" -
Create your own predestination paradox by buying this album before it actually comes out. By the way don't watch that video if you haven't seen Donnie Darko yet as it will scramble your wig.
Also note M83 crew do the chocoloate meow in DC on 6/7 - live setup includes Gonzalez on vocals, guitars and keyboards, Loic Maurin on Drums, Pierre-Marie Maulini on bass and guitar and featured album vocalist Morgan Kibby on vocals and keys. Everyone wear a gray hoodie instead of a black one!
