Main menu   Phoenix Rises   The French indie-pop maestros are
back, and catchier than the clap.  Few bands have unlocked the
secrets of the pop song as successfully as Phoenix, the
Versailles-based, Grammy-winning indie-rockers who insist on
making us reconsider the proposition that everything French
sucks. With Bankrupt!their fifth LP, and one of the year's most
highly-anticipated releasesdue out April 22, the four-piece are
giving fans a sneak preview with "Entertainment," a sunny slice
of synth-rock. The band recorded the album using the same mixing
console Michael Jackson used for Thriller (they bought it off
eBay for $17,000), and it seems like that was a good
investment.   Show me more music! Take me to the girls!
