Messier 83 aka M83

I can't recall the first time that I listened to M83, but they're latest double album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is really good. You may have heard the most popular track on a recent Victoria's Secret commercial. It's amazing hook is just so catchy, you'll repeat it for hours in your head.. here's a look/listen to that part..



Oddly enough I had never taken the time to wonder why they called themselves M83. Well, in speaking with my musical BFF colorcritical, he informed me that they chose the name after this spiral galagy, the Messier 83.

So cool. Just goes to show you that we are such a small part of such a MASSIVE universe.







Here is the official video for Midnight City, just released.



EDIT: very cool remixes of Midnight City here and a track by Man Without Country here
