French music act M83 just released the video treatment for “Reunion,” the second single from 2011′s “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.” The video picks up the story from the first single’s music video, “Midnight City,” featuring a gang of kids with superpowers that turn their eyes blue and toss Chevy Tahoes like rag dolls.
The upbeat song combined with dramatic visuals is entrancing enough that you’ll probably miss the subtle MCA tribute the band carefully placed. At around the 46-second mark, a Nokia GPS device can be seen indicating the cars are traveling down “Adam Yauch Ave.”
Well played, boys. Enjoy the video a few times around so the subtle tribute doesn’t distract you from a great song.

After turning left to Adam Yauch Ave, they go straight towards Sabotage St! I had to stop a second and think and hit the pause on TiVo. Love it!
