maybe one day I could be one of them



Phoenix - Lisztomania
I'm thinking that they actually got the track name from Lisztomania, which is a 1975 film by Ken Russell, drawn from a biography of Franz Liszt. Apparently, the term "Lisztomania" was coined by the German romantic literary figure Heinrich Heine to describe the massive public response to Liszt's virtuosic piano performances. At these performances, there were allegedly screaming women, and the audience was sometimes limited to standing room only. Must have been quite the charmer, this Franz Liszt.

M83 - Couleurs

M83 - Graveyard Girl
These were the first and second singles released for their(his) 5th album, "Saturdays = Youth", respectively. Why his, it's because all that's left is Anthony Gonzalez, as former member Nicolas Fromageau parted ways around 2005.
