VIDEO THRWBCK: The Psychedelic Furs - Pretty in Pink (1986)
We're totally obsessed with Saturdays=Youth, the brand new M83 album, for a multitude of reasons, one being that it is basically a concept album about the warm, fuzzy feeling you get when watching a John Hughes movie (and of course, soaking up the soundtrack). When push comes to shove, our favorite Hughes teen epic is Pretty in Pink (Andie! Blaine! DUCKIE!), and we never get tired of watching Molly Ringwald deal with her teen angst set to a pastoral soundtrack of New Order, The Smiths, and of course The Psychedelic Furs' eponymous theme song (re-recorded from the original 1981 version for the movie's release). All together now... Isn't she... pretty in pink...
