M83's Saturday = Youth, especially the John Hughes-y "Graveyard Girl" video, has the '80s very much at the front of our minds. But, like, the '80s when it was the '80s. Milking nostalgia in a far wrinklier way, this summer's Regeneration Tour pairs together beyond-their-prime '80s icons the Human League, Belinda Carlisle, ABC, Dead Or Alive, A Flock of Seagulls, and Naked Eyes for a month-long tour (which opens 8/1 in Phoenix). Billboard uses the word "inaugural," which makes it sound like it's the first in a series of shows. If that's the case, this should get more awkward with each passing year... - Source

In our constant attempt to make folks feel old, we thought we'd mention that not only is 2008 the year NMH's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea reached the decade mark, but on 4/14 (4/15 in North America, bub), Air's Moon Safari makes it into double digits, too. The French duo, or more likely their label, have set up a special site to honor the milestone. Right now it's basically an advert for the 2-disc, 1-DVD 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the album, but we're hoping some more content goes up on the actual birthday. Some possible clues: There's an atomic counter set up at the band's MySpace and three weeks ago someone set up an official Air channel at YouTube.  - Source
