Out tomorrow: Saturdays = Youth, the fifth record from France's M83 (the nom de rock of Anthony Gonzalez). The album is a synthy, reverb-drenched paean to teenage swooning, epitomized by the single "Graveyard Girl." In Gonzalez's misty-eyed take, high school almost sounds fun—check out the video below:

Meanwhile, we're still too dizzy trying to register where Juno falls on the backlash/backlash-to-the-backlash/backlash-to-the-backlash's-backlash scale to recommend the new DVD without Dramamine. Instead, check out Ryan Gosling's sweetly bathetic (and underrated) turn in Lars and the Real Girl, a performance aided in part by the cast and crew, who treated the titular doll as (ahem) a real girl during shooting.

Sure, the MP3 era has done some serious damage to that once-great visual medium, the record cover. But it's not dead yet: Witness the new site Album tArt. It's billed as a quick place to import album art to iTunes, but the real reason to visit is the user-submitted images, which often best the official artwork that inspires them. Case in point: this stripped-down cover for In Rainbows, submitted by "The Collector," and (in our humble opinion) far superior to Radiohead's own far busier version. Check out some other examples here.

Those are the words of Formula 1 racer (and British GQ March '08 cover star) Lewis Hamilton, whose first appearance on Top Gear airs tonight on BBC America. He also takes a spin in a Suzuki Liana, which you can preview below:

Also on: the return of the Discovery Channel's oddly compelling Dirty Jobs and the premiere of MTV's The Paper, a reality show about high-school journalism, starring all the geeks who turned you off of publishing in the first place.

While they're undeniably convenient, folding bikes rarely handle well outside the city, and, even then, they often look a bit wonky. Montague's new 27-speed XO SwissBike, however, is a welcome exception: Its red aluminum frame looks good (if not aggressively stylish), and it's rugged enough to handle a mountain trail. That comes courtesy the hydraulic front-disc brakes, a RockShox suspension fork, and the one-step CLIX branded wheel-release system that won an (actually quite prestigious) Eurobike Design Award. Better yet, you can unfold it in less time than it took to read this post: about 30 seconds, without tools.

Boston's Colonnade Hotel is now offering guests a 20 percent discount on days when the market is down. Dubbed the Bull and Bears package, it's the latest example of a nascent trend: travel deals for struggling Americans. (Hey, no complaints here.) Still, the markdown is no reason to cheer for the economy's downfall—you get a 10 percent discount when stocks are up.

Kate Moss has never been married—though she is reportedly engaged to some bastard from the The Kills—but she'll play a bride in an upcoming ad campaign for Agent Provocateur's line of bridal lingerie. (How that differs from normal lingerie, we have no idea. We're guessing white's involved.) The ads premiere next month, but here's an image from a previous AP campaign to tide you over until then.

Bad (if not surprising) news from today's DNR: Menswear retailers did poorly during March. Even worse—for the economy, if not your wardrobe—are the three shops who made out all right: Aeropostale, the Buckle, and Wal-Mart.

Apparently, it's Philip M. Parker, a professor at international business school INSEAD, who has—stick with us—developed a series of algorithms to turn Google's vast stores of knowledge into more than 200,000 (!) built-if-bought books. Each one costs about 12 cents to make, but retail for up to $795, thanks to their hyper-specific (and often arcane) subject matter. Below, a selection of our favorite titles:

-The Patient's Official Sourcebook on Acne Rosacea ($24.95)

-Webster's English-Lozi Dictionary ($28.95)

-The 2007 Import and Export Market for Ferrous Metal Waste and Scrap Excluding Waste and Scrap of Cast Iron and Alloy Steel in the United States ($110)

-The World Market for Industrial Fatty Alcohols: A 2007 Global Trade Perspective ($300)

-The 2007-2012 World Outlook for Manufacturing Women's and Girls' Cut and Sew Bras, Girdles, Lingerie, Loungewear, and Nightwear from Purchased Fabric ($730)

Ah, tech blogs: Home to the unboxing video, where some nerd shows off what it's like to open a new gadget. (It's as geeky as it sounds, as you can see here and here.) Well, Scott Simpson, an Apple iTunes editor (that's a job?) has made a parody, in which "the most frequently mentioned product on the Internet gets its due." Check it out below:

California architect John Lautner's houses are so dramatic they've not only appeared in several movies, but usually steal the show. Who can forget how Brian De Palma used his 1960 UFO-style Chemosphere house to brilliant effect in Body Double? Or the 1968 Elrod House in Palm Springs that co-starred in Diamonds Are Forever? Amazingly enough, there's never been a comprehensive book on the late Lautner's work, but Rizzoli rectifies that and then some with the new Between Earth and Heaven, including tons of previously unpublished plans, drawings, and photographs from the architect's archives. On top of it all, we have a newfound admiration for Bob Hope, for whom Lautner built an amazing Palm Springs house in 1979. Who knew the goofy golfer had such discerning taste?
