Le Corps Mince De Francoise, “Something Golden (Renaissance Man RMX)” MP3
Helsinki trio Le Corps Mince de Francoise just MySpace-droppedtheir new single in advance of their full-length release on perennially chic tune haus Kitsune. It’s a slice of electronic pop nougat, breathy vocals and what sounds like Pokemon barking for dramatic effect, something like 23rd century twee sans babyishness, or maybe an audio companion piece to the less cliche Takashi Murakami pieces. Plus they have a song called “Bitch of the Bitches” that we can get down with. House duo Renaissance Man’s remix of “Something Golden” takes the Pokemon to a ping pong tournament, adding all sorts of sproing and patience and it’s lovely.

Kitsuné x Petit Bateau
- story Chioma Nnadi
Kitsuné have had their hands full with clothes recently. They just unveiled their men’s spring 2010 last week in Paris, as well as a very neat transatlantic collaboration with NY-based label United Bamboo called Modern Marines. The Kitsuné designs we’ll be scooping this summer though are entirely more homegrown, and basically remind us of our gurgling days in the crib. Petit Bateau make the choicest baby onesies that we know of, and the tees they have lined up for August, designed by Masaya Kuroki and Gildas Loaëc of Kitsuné, are also trés trés adorable.
Video: CHEW LiPs, “Salt Air”
- story THE FADER
The old-timey photo effect plus sepia lo-fi animation is really working for this one. Can whoever did this come draw stuff all over our real life? We want to walk around with animation coming out of our footprints. If you happen to be in London this evening, perhaps stop by the Lexington for CHEW LiPs’ video release party? Because “You’re an ocean, I’m the salt air” is a good lyric. (via Funkism)
Video: Classixx, “I’ll Get You” (dir. Cobrasnake)
- story THE FADER
In late 2003, we were at a little party on the east side of Los Angeles. It was at a Vice store. We were drinking this crazy stuff called Sparks. There was mayyyyybe one fixed gear bicycle parked outside but it may have been a rusty ten speed with a forgotten lock combo. The memories are cloudy. Anyway, it was mellow. This dude wearing $4 glaucoma sunglasses and a headband walked up and asked to take a picture with his Polaroid. He seemed weird but generally pretty nice. He is now absurdly wealthy (we’re assuming), uses a big digital camera and none of that other stuff really exists anymore. Life, man. Anyway, Mark the Cobrasnake, formerly Polaroid Scene, recently “directed” a “video” for LA band Classixx and it looks like things are still going well for him. And California—good shit.
