 | Jessica Suarez reports: If, while watching commercials, you suddenly start to feel full of strong emotions (happiness, sadness, confusion) and begin to tear up, remembering past loves and all the mistakes you ever made, don't blame the doctor who switched you off low-dose hormonal birth control. |
Blame Pontiac, who are using M83's swoon-ariffic "Don't Save Us From the Flames," from French sound sculptor Anthony Gonzalez's latest record Before the Dawn Heals Us as the soundtrack to their current campaign.
Sure, the TV screen may be showing you the curves of the new 2006 Grand Prix, but you'll be thinking, "If I ever saw Tony again, would he even remember my name?" Or something like that.
You can wistfully reflect in rooms full of other wistful reflectors starting tomorrow, as M83 are hitting the road for a short North American tour. (The trek was originally scheduled to begin tonight in Houston, but Pitchfork has just received word that the show has been canceled due to the Hurricane Rita evacuation.) Perhaps Gonzalez will be driving through the Western states behind the wheel of a 2006 Pontiac Torrent, which isn't a file-sharing joke. It's Pontiac's largest new automobile.
