If you ever tune into John in the Morning, then you know the poor dude has been pumpin’ this show HARDCORE. Can’t say I disagree with him. The excellently ambient star-pop album from M83 (aka Anthony Gonzalez), Saturdays = Youth, will undoubtedly be on lots of folks’ year end lists come next month. Can’t say I’ll disagree with ‘em. Honestly, I haven’t listened to any of the Frenchman’s other albums at length, but I do know that his latest is a wonderfully crafted wash of rich, shoegaze nostalgia and futuristic electro pop. “Kim & Jessie” is pure bliss with its secret lovers and squealing rhythms, and “Couleurs” is an intense 7-minute excursion into the depths of a vast musical ocean.

You’ll no doubt be reminded of some John Hughes flicks (see pic below), and its quite possible you might wake up hungover on the lawn of the handsomest boy in school after a complete and total year-end rager. You also might make out with Blaine in a parking lot (with Ducky’s blessing, of course), or spend a Saturday in detention with a bunch of misfits you never thought you’d like. You just might.
