The new Air France remix of Spring by St Etienne is available to listen here. Taken from this limited run 12”. Spring is one of many beautiful tracks off of St Etienne’s 1991 debut, Foxbase Alpha and this remix is a wonderful, distinctively Air France reinvention.

Muse's, The Resistance
Its hard to take Muse’s latest album seriously. Sure, if you are one of the many die hard fans, you are going to lap this shit up and have potentially whizzed your pants out of sheer excitement after reading the title of this post.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are a band from New York City. They make terribly catchy songs about unrequited love and such. This is the video for Young Adult Friction, a witty ditty whose simple innocence resonates far beyond most who try to compartmentalise love into more complex boxes.

Air France - No Way Down EP As we walk along cobbled stones, the thick rain is illuminated by the soft glow of yellow streetlights. My vision is a little blurred from cheap beer and I smile at nothing in particular as I reach into my coat for my wallet. The pocket is empty. My wallet is gone.
