The French rock band Phoenix is known for its infectious melodic hooks, '80s rock influences and '70s disco grooves that are custom made for listening at high volumes. Formed as part of the backing band for the French electronic duo Air, Phoenix recorded its first album, United, in 2000. That release featured the song "Too Young," a single that was prominently featured in Sofia Coppola's 2003 film Lost In Translation.
Since then, the band has found wider recognition, even being called "Rock's Great French Hope" by Rolling Stone magazine after its latest effort, this year's superb Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The album has appeared on many critics' best of the year lists, thanks in part to the singles "Lisztomania" and "1901," which was featured in a recent Cadillac car commercial.
Host Scott Simon spoke to Thomas Mars and Laurent Brancowitz of Phoenix about their music — and about the album's title, which Brancowitz says his mother apparently didn't condone. "She's German, [so] playing around with the name of Mozart is like a crime," Brancowitz says. "When we told her the title, she laughed a lot and cried; that's when we knew it was a good title, when you have these kinds of reactions."

A 90-year-old woman accidentally backed into a McDonald's restaurant, disrupting a bingo game and sending a couple to the hospital with minor injuries.
Lois Weber told police one of her tennis shoes became stuck under the gas pedal on her 2004 Cadillac, causing her to lose control and back into the restaurant Wednesday. She said she recently changed shoe brands and was not used to the wider fit.
No tickets were issued. Weber, who has a valid driver's license, was able to drive her car home.
Police said the car crashed into a wall and window of the restaurant in the Broad Ripple neighborhood on the north side of the city. The car pushed John Atkinson, 80, and his wife Beverly, 75, both of Indianapolis, who were playing bingo.
The couple suffered cuts on their hands from broken glass.
