I ♥ Phoenix

I finally succumbed and bought the new Phoenix cd, It's Never Been Like That. While I'm not yet sold on the whole album, there are a couple of songs that I just love. Go here and listen to "Consolation Prizes" and "Rally." If you don't find them absolutely infectious, then you might be a little bit dead inside, which is sad.

You can watch the video for "Long Distance Call" here. It was directed by Roman Coppola, brother of Sofia, who is dating the lead singer Thomas Mars.

I think I like them even more knowing that they're French. Why are they singing in English? I have no idea!
