Justice † (Vice) You might have familiarized yourself with French dance duo Justice courtesy the remix of Simian's "Never Be Alone", and such an introduction wouldn't be a false start, though the album is a bit different. Justice, who have received (mostly justified) comparisons to Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk, seem to shine when given someone else's work to toy with, but seem less dynamic when working from their own toolbox.

We're all friends here, right? So let's just admit to each other, right now, that we all love John Hughes' movies. Just let it out--there's no judgment here. Hughes wrote some of the best all-around comedies of the 1980s, from National Lampoon's Vacation to Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
