Team Ghost - "You Never Did Anything Wrong To Me"


I was just reading the Wikipedia page for the band M83 yesterday and learned that it was started by two French guys (Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau) and that after the second album, Mr. Fromageau left the band. I wondered what he was up to, and low and behold just today I discover on Pitchfork that he has just put out an album under the name Team Ghost called You Never Did Anything Wrong To Me. If you like M83, you'll like this album. Have a listen above to the second track off the EP called "A Glorious Time".

Suck & Blow

Oh, France. God love you. This would be their anti-smoking campaign. Not really sure it accomplishes that, but it's certainly playful and eye-catching. Here's their explanation:

"The ads suggest that smoking is being a slave to tobacco by showing young guys and girls kneeling down in a simulated forced oral sex scenario with the cigarette assuming the role of the penis."


This assumes 'forced oral sex' is a negative. Fail.
