They may not be Italian accordionists, but hopefully reader Bryan will appreciate a little music video French duo, Air.

This week marks the release of their sixth full-length, Pocket Symphony. To celebration the occasion, here's the moving image for one of the album's singles, "Once Upon A Time". It's not much of a departure for the dreamy electro lovers, but it's definitely worth a spin.

Let us know what you think. Or don't. Although, we'd prefer if you did. Your comments are the source of our life force...we're like Tinkerbell, only virtual.

Those of you in the know have probably already heard JB Dunckel aka Darkel's solo endeavor. For those of you not in the know, Dunckel, who made a name for himself as one half of French musical visionaires, Air, just released a self-titled solo album.

With it, Darkel continues his exploration of electronic absurdity. While there are definitely some provocative beats and engaging lyrics, it's a lop-sided effort to say the least. The opening track, "Be My Friend," features cinematic-friendly, dreamy beats with lackluster lyrics. "My Own Sun" surprises the listener with a poppy, nearly twee hand-clapping frenzy that sticks out like a sore thumb, while "Pearl" seems like a leftover from Air's 10,000 Hz Legend.

Still, it's not all bad. For example, we're pretty in love with the single, "At the End of The Sky," a seemingly nonsensical trip into the origins of life, love, and everything else featuring sliding guitar, comforting drums, and Darkel's soft, dreamy vocals.

To hear (and see!) what we're talking about, check out the video - a delightful animated piece that takes the viewer from earth to space and back again. Where? After the jump, of course.

• Good As You let us know that the American Family Association on Thursday called off its threatened boycott of Ford Motors after Jaguar and Land Rover ads were pulled from gay publications. Redneck bigoted hillbillies don’t drive Land Rovers! Gays do. Looks like we need to start our own boycott.

• In California a lesbian student has earned the right to sue her school after her principle outed her to her mother. "The person to decide when and how to talk with our family about this should have been my daughter, not her principal," her mother was quoted as saying. Thanks Lara.

• The Pet Shop Boys, still pop’s smartest performers, are set to release an album in the spring produced by the amazing Trevor Horn. Can’t wait.

• We know Madonna doesn’t cut it for everyone when it comes to electronic music. So we are highly recommending Beck’s new remix album Guerolito, a work-over of tracks from the Gold-certified and wonderful Guero. Some of our faves like Boards of Canada and Air lend the cutie iconic hipster a hand on production this time around. The result is a trippy and fun ride you can shake your ass to. Thanks Popbytes.

• here! Network has answered many a gay man’s prayers by casting Antonio Sabato, Jr. in Deadly Skies. The heartthrob plays a gay man who saves the world from an asteroid. This has all the makings of a new camp classic.
