Air's outstanding 1998 debut Moon Safari will be reissued in an expanded, limited edition "pimp pack" via Astralwerks on 4/15. The three-disc set includes the original LP, remixes, rarities and radio sessions, and a DVD with videos and a documentary from their first tour.
Although this video featuring the Tommy Seebach band didn't make the cut, it does prove that people with mustaches make better music and have more fun doing it (they're actually playing a disco version of "Apache" but some industrious YouTuber dropped in the Moog Cookbook remix instead).
There's a popular saying in certain parts of the Southeast, "All great films begin with a shot of Scarlett Johansson's can." While Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation provides the perfect sountrack to describe isolation in a big city, viewers learn that hearty helpings of karaoke, Santori whiskey and ScarJo can be the perfect cure.
Baldwin Brothers fun fact: On September 30, 2003, the same week that Lost in Translation was released, Alec Baldwin made a $1,000 contribution to Vermont Senator James M. Jeffords, who was Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Coincidence?
