How's your French? Merde? Better ask for Rosetta Stone for Christmas then because if you really
want to know what's what with the Impact you're going to need to read and listen to a lot of it.
But if you are like me and only speak French after a bottle & a half of Bordeaux (and poorly even
then) you can check out the latest episode of the SoccerPlus podcast because it features an
English-language interview with Montreal coach Jessie Marsch.
Typically I restrict myself to talking about wet, hot America soccer but if there is a player with
no North American angle that I can make an exception for it is Zidane. Have you seen the Zizou
shirts from 3NIL? So necessary. I'm going to cop one in hopes that it will make me look worldly.
From this point on all supporters groups should perform "Seven Nation Army" in the following, funky
manner.

The video for M83's "Midnight City" just dropped so everyone else can just go on and put the
cameras and lights down now because the video of the year has been made. Seriously anonymous record
label marketing dept. save your promo budget, use it on tour support instead.
It's kind of on some ComicCon-goes-to-SVA sh*t but I dare anyone to make a video this year that can
match this for storytelling, effects, cinematography and ability to capture the forlorn,
retro-futuristic mood of the song so effectively.
Real Salt Lake's --or are they RBNY's, I can never tell-- most continental fans have a documentary
coming out. You should watch the trailer, preferably while imbibing in a nice Louis Jadot
Pouilly-Fuissé while wearing something so conservative it's alternative (because
that is Phoenix's modus operandi when it comes to both their music and presentation).
Damn. Just when I was ready to write off the upcoming Justice album they f*** around and drop a
pair of Serato-ready bangers that sound like Daft Punk doing classic rock. If you've ever wanted
music that works equally well in a Camaro or a club congrats, it's Christmas. Get. In.

The older folks in my family always said that death and birth come in threes. The recent, premature
loss of Bobby Rhine may have been the 1st of a troika for me as news came this a.m. of the passing
of one of my favorite DJ's, France's DJ Mehdi, a vital member of the Ed Bangers crew.
If you have no idea what Mehdi sounds like check out his video for "I Am Somebody"; it's probably
his most accessible song and the video is really playful, really fun.
So yeah, last night was Fashion's Night Out. If you are man enough not to know what that is it's
basically the fashion industry's version of a single-night South By Southwest. Everyone has a party
with free booze and bands you've never heard of hosted by someone you have.
Unfortunately I was at the Lord & Taylor event watching Beyonce's sister DJ (please don't ask why)
and missed the Dolce & Gabbana event that I wasn't invited to that featured TiTi co-hosting
alongside Justin Beiber, and Tyson Beckford.
EM Theories hipped me to the new Justice video and like them, I'm not sure how I feel about the
track yet. It's oddly catchy but not the Ed Banger-banger you might expect. Honestly it comes
across as the beefed-up soundtrack to a Nintendo-era video game that centers around a quest for a
princess and multiple fights with "bosses".
Saturday morning mellow music courtesy of Anthony Gonzalez. Probably the best faux-Bon Iver song
going right now.
There's some big, convoluted marketing message that goes with this clip but I can't be assed to go
along with it because Thierry Henry's beard looks so outlandishly, distractingy lush in the video
still. Seriously, I haven't seen a beard so black, so luxurious since Barry White died.
I bet that s*** smells ridiculous too, like fine musk & fresh leather.
Sh!t. Yes. Anthony Gonzalez is back with more of the maudlin electro-pop that made Saturdays =
Youth so cotdamn unimpeachable but with a pinch of the great, grating texture of Dead
Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. This is what I will be listening to for the rest of the day. Or
at least until The Wizard OX drops another prog-house remix featuring Ray Hudson.
There was a time when Kele Okereke and Bloc Party were it. Then they went on hiatus and Kele went
solo and it all pretty much went to sh*t. Now he's singing on songs for French people to use in the
most French videos around not featuring Pepe Le Pew.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
I'm not saying he should be freed --I mean he did hit a dude in the back of the head-- but I just
love "Free Person X" movements. They never work but they're always so precious and spawn great
t-shirts and stickers. So make yours today!
You have to love the French. No one does nostalgic, lustful nativity better.
Chipping the keeper on a PK then dropping this wonder bomb on him late in the game? Ooowee! This is
how you show up and show out in a "derby." Eric Hassli, you are The Baddest Man in MLS, Today™.
I showed this picture of Thierry Henry and Swizz Beats having lunch at Cipriani yesterday to my
girl Jackie Pickering and she said "I wonder who had dibs on the red hat?" These are life's big
questions America.
About time they release a video for this. But then again why make a video when you already have the
song featured in an adidas advert with Becks & Danny Mwanga that's on TV every 60 seconds?
Seriously, why?
Henrooney has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Much better than Brangelina or TomKat. Either way I
don't think these two will be on the cover of US Weekly nearly as many times as the other
conjoined-namers but I'm far more interested in seeing their upcoming work than I am in seeing
another Tomb Raider or Mission: Impossible flick.
