not funk but funky. from four French dudes, three of whom sing, in English. from a 2002 sophomore album filled with electro-synth-soul-pop deliciousness. (more on Tahiti 80 in a separate post sometime soon.)

I've been away from mog for ages in MOG years (approximately a week), awaiting the birth of my first child, Riley. He was born on Wednesday at 12:09. If being impartial doesn't count, I must admit, he's a real cutie. I was slightly obsessed with not just what music to play for him on his very own Baby mix, but what, if anything would be playing when he was born.I was strongly advised to play...

A few things have gotten in the way of giving public thanks to my MOG Secret Santa (whom shall also receive their props before my head hits the pillow tonight). This past weekend, as I was thinking about what I wanted to include in my "thank you" post, I tried to recall what I wrote last year...the guilt hit me like a wave when I realized that I had not done it. I knew that there was no way th...

Unfortunately, when I was thirteen, there was no myspace.com, or purevolume.com, and definitely no mog.com. I found out about music the nice way, through tv. However, one afternoon while mallratting at a Contempo Casuals, I realized that there was good music playing in the store. As I paid for my $50 jeans that I wore twice, I asked the clerk for the setlist. That's when I discovered Tahiti...

Okay... I just have to say how much I love this French Pop band... In a world of backstreet n'sync pussycat dolls it comforts me to know that pop still has its original appeal elsewhere. I was digging through my CD collection and forgot that I still had the first album that I bought only because I was dating this girl who dragged me to their concert... I hated to admit it then, but now... Who c...

"Unpredictable" - Tahiti 80 Carefree English-speaking French pop from a band doing it before it was a genre. There's something not only charming but truly satisfying about a song that works quite so well both for people who are barely paying attention and for people paying close attention. This is no small feat. For the first group, a jaunty, smoothly sung tune is all that's required. Great...

Holy 'hiti, we've got a ton of good news to bring you from the camp of Tahiti 80. With a new album on the way, there's a ton of cool new stuff floating around, so we thought it best to compile it all in one massive post for you.Long the admirers of the French outfit, the group's core revolves around pop eccentricities with a flair for all things soul, funked out and totally groovy. While their ...
