M83 Tourdates! Conan O’Brien!

I unashamedly love the music of M83. Every album manages to knock my socks off. Yes, I’ve heard School of Seven Bells (and I like them too) but M83 has that certain something. SOSB might have it too, but I just haven’t spent enough time with that album to figure out if they do or not.

But getting back to M83 – Saturdays=Youth was one of my favorite albums of 2008. The band are still touring behind it, and will be joining The Killers for a Winter ‘09 tour. They’ll also be stopping off at Conan on the 27th to play ‘Kim & Jessie’ (and releasing it as a single again) as well as playing a solo show on the 24th at Irving Plaza.

If you *really* like M83, you can make a video for their next single, ‘We Own The Sky’. Entries must be received by the 20th, and the winner will have their video debut on Pitchfork TV. Submit here.
