It's not easy being AIR. In true Gallic style, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel are showing their roots and making existential love sickness look sophisticated and intoxicating. In 1998, Moon Safari may have made them famous and spread their dreamy, interstellar sound around the world, but what use, the duo asks, are all the critical success, credibility, fame, riches and synth-groupies in the world, if there is no love? "Ever since the success of our first album, we had everything given to us, everything available," Godin explains on the phone from his Paris apartment. "But the thing we missed most of all was love and tenderness. It's easy to have sex with everybody when you have some pop success, but you never know why someone is loving you."
Enter, Talkie Walkie, AIR's fourth album and their most intimate, honest effort to date. "It's very personal," offers Godin whistfully. "We have grown up. we have changed as men and for the first time we have focused on our emotion. THis album is a call for love." Of course, it may have been easier to continue making love to throngs of ladies with dubious motives, but in the end, AIR's dark night of the soul birthed a deep, shadowy soundtrack to late-night contemplation with left-handed cigarettes. "We needed to do it, to reach for what we needed, not what we wanted," says Godin of the duo's decision to fasten their hearts boldly to their sleeves. "It took us four or five years, but we did it." (Not a bad time-line, considering pop stars see no shame in riding the groupie gravy train well into their geriatric years.) They even forewent the seductive guest female vocalist routine, opting for all vocals to be delivered by Dunckel.

Yeah, Jay, I refuse to fuel the fire with pics of rosie and bea. Besides, I couldn't find any (not that I tried all that hard) and I suck at anything photo-related.
I'm so tired. I'm kinda delusional. I love it. It's great.

Have a good nap sillygirl and thanks for the pleasant dreams of the Bea and Rosie pic.
no the kinda feeling when you are stoned and drunk is puke, at least if you get drunk and then try getting high you puke, if you get high and then drink you might be alright. I have no issues everything I say is merely for entertainment, everyone like to laugh and if I can disgust people and make them laugh or say "what the fuck is wrong with this guy" that's great.

Wow I wish we could go back to the Bea pics Betty White is pretty sexy to, but not as hot as the woman who played Angela Bower on Who's the Boss, the way her glasses took up her whole face, jesus what the hell was up with glasses back in the day they were huge, how did I get from Bea to Who's the Boss to huge freakin glases holy shit do I ever have a craving for Timmies. But watch out for the drive-thru they fuck ya, and if ya want any fancy dounuts or pastries order them ahead last night just to get 2 chocolate mint dounuts we had to go through the whole chocolate menu and then she comes to the one we want, and low and behold only 1 Once again FUCKED IN THE DRIVE THRU.
it happens so much it may turn into a recurring theme fuckin timmies the drive-thru you love to hate
