Thomas Mars and Christian Mazzalai just stopped by the Alternate Side radio and played acoustic versions of Lisztomania and Playground Love.

I was listening to this album while trotting through the Queen St. Subway Station. Just as Listzomania came on I saw this, and I took a picture. Shameless plug, but seemingly appropriate. It was a quaint moment where the world made sense through music.

Thanks for this post Sal. I was scratching my head for a bit and came roughly to the same conclusions. I didn’t get so far as to bother with the research so I appreciate that you did.

I apologize that my post attracted this. Google must have brought them out via the Jonas Brothers shout-out.

Also, UHB, Jules Ballavoine changed my life with his portraits. Wikipedia also changed my life with its date search. whatever.

Isn’t the term “urban haute bourgeois” a bit of a wikipedia stretch? Apparently it was coined by Whit Stillman. Oh the things you can learn.

oi sal, fantastic review!! i think WAP is great and defs one of the years best, but for me it is one of the worst of their discography. i had hiiigh expectations and hyped it up in my mind too much after hearing "1901" which felt like a song from Alphabetical and it's never been like that (my two fave albums!) stuck together. plus, only a handful of songs on WAP really stuck out for me, everything else was a bit dull. my mind might change now that summer is rolling along...it is a great summer album. i am super stoked to see them this summer at les saints in the 514!!! it's going to be legen---wait for it... dary.

The Jules Ballavoine comment is a bit of a [wikipedia] stretch, no?
