The Avalanches - Frankie Sinatra

It's been 16 long years since last we heard from the Australian DJ wunderkinds of The Avalanches, with many rumors and missed release dates behind us, but at last the group's sophomore effort, "Wildflower," is coming out next month.  The first bonkers single, "Frankie Sinatra," features vocal assists from Danny Brown and MF DOOM, and is accompanied by a fittingly bonkers video.  Watch it below and pre-order the record in various forms from Newbury Comics/Astralwerks.

Air and Francoise Hardy- Jeanne

Today sucked.  I'm exhausted.  I'm moody.  And there's still more to do.  So, here's one of my favorite songs of all time.  Way back in 1997, French duo Air teamed with living legend Francoise Hardy for a track called "Jeanne."  The song appeared on the single to the band's "Sexy Boy" on Astralwerks.  It's smooth, and sexy, and trippy, and mournful, and beautiful, and it led me to discover the work of the lovely Mlle. Hardy.  Listen below and enjoy your evening.
