Five Things

(M83's Anthony Gonzalez)

The D Man has sort of felt bad ever since he posted ten of the coolest records he owns. So many albums just feel left out, I may have to do another entry. So it goes. Check out these five things--all cool enough.

• M83's 2009 album Saturdays = Youth was epic. Anthony Gonzalez recently said that his next electronic opus would be "very, very, very epic" and "mostly about dreams." If the 90-second trailer for the forthcoming album is any indication, it is going to be awesome.
• Check out the cool trailer for a documentary on Mark Kozelek over at his Caldo Verde Records site. A Cameron Crowe interview with Kozelek will be featured on the Sun Kil Moon website on August 16th, the date of the DVD's release. The D Man is, of course, stoked to check out the live takes and other goodies. Here is hoping for some behind-the-scenes footage in Rip's backyard.
• Junior Boys are as smooth as ever.
• Coz except for her, there just ain't nothing to latch onto. Check out the skater-love video for Kurt Vile's "Baby's Arms," vividly shot by a cell phone. Tag some walls and you'll get some action.
• This is strange and heavy stuff.
