A free track from French duo Air is now available on Facebook. The group scored the restored version of George Melies’ Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon), which is about (here’s a shocker) traveling to the moon.

The 1902 film, which is considered the first science fiction movie ever, was found to have a colored version that was hand-painted by Melies himself. “Parade,” one of the tracks that was worked into the movie, is now available for free download.

A short clip of the film, which is set to the track “Sonic Armada,” can be seen on the video above.

Trompe Le Monde is 20 years old! If it was a person, it would be borrowing money from its parents and reassuring its girlfriend that it doesn’t have herpes.

Guy Garvey raving about Peter Gabriel’s new album to… Peter Gabriel. Can you say bromance?

A fan video of actor Jim Carrey performing a karaoke version of Radiohead’s 1992 single “Creep” has become a hit online. The video, which shows Carrey making rock star moves while hitting high notes that would make Thom Yorke blush, was shot in Arlene’s Grocery in New York. As a bonus, there’s also a video of Carrey channeling Billy Corgan on Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet with Butterfly Wings.”

“Everyone knows that NEW ORDER without PETER HOOK is like QUEEN without FREDDIE MERCURY, U2 without THE EDGE, SOOTY without SWEEP!”

This was Peter Hook’s reaction to news that Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert will reform New Order for two charity shows later this year. He has a point, even though he can probably use a bit more humility. Also, nothing says rage like comparing one’s self to a puppet dog on a children’s television show.

The wealth of Smiths material that is coming out of the woodwork is remarkable. This one is a “previously lost” video documentary of the Smiths commissioned in 1992. The documentary contains excerpts of promos for “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out,” “How Soon Is Now?” and “Panic” and makes you wonder whether Morissey can still sway his hips like a go-go dancer.

Andrew Bird revised the Kermit the Frog classic “Being Green” as part of an upcoming Muppets tribute record called The Green Album (Weezer’s also on the record so the album name is completely original). Bird’s poignant version captures the struggles of a young muppet with skin color issues and asks the philosophical question of why we can’t all be of a different hue.
