there's an amateur video of the entire coachella performance making its way around the torrent sites (themixingbowl.org and others)

the video's not top quality but the performance sure is

The new er... direction of Daft Punk makes a lot more sense after seeing the single videos somehow. Almost makes it seem like they were first to the supposed trend going on in french house (wot I read about on Stylus... apart from Uffie I've heard like, _none_ of it yet) everyone going for a more rock-inclined in-the-red repetetive brutality in their tracks.

/heads over to justice myspace to check "the fuss" late as ever..

all image and no substance. i still don't get the love for daft punk.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 19:33 (twenty years ago)

the supposed trend going on in french house is more than ten years old!

what makes you think there is no substance, frenchbloke? i'm not sure what you mean exactly. no depth to the music? or what depth there is is jsut derived from other things?

three months pass...

hearing snippets of their live set in Ireland down the phone now courtesy of kv_nol. soundin' GOOOOOOD.

one month passes...

They've added a new member and are now called Sensus, apparently.

that video was awesome!

not

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Thursday, 5 October 2006 06:06 (nineteen years ago)

Adding a house beat to that would make it the best thing ever.

"internet presale" at ticketmaster--use the code "robots"

― max, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

Given my money flow I might have to see if someone can snag one for me (with the promise of paying back after my paycheck's in on Thursday).

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

I've been daydreaming about quitting my job etc and following them around like they're the Grateful Dead or something.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

Follow your bliss, I say.

tickets got. psyched!

― s1ocki, Friday, 23 March 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

Holy shit!

No, no, no. HOLY SHIT!

OMG.

― The Reverend, Friday, 23 March 2007 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sort of sad that the Rapture aren't playing the LA date, but we get Sebastian.

― max, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

50 bucks... pffff to that.

― chaki, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

And my euphoria comes crashing to the ground.

― The Reverend, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

50 bucks... pffff to that.

My exact thought, I gotta admit.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm...apparently the Seattle show's only $40, but that's still much steeper than I'd like.

― The Reverend, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

gotta pay for giant flashing techno pyramids somehow

― sexyDancer, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

Their Coachella performance was easily the best concert I've ever experienced. People pay huge sums to see terrible bands (way more than $50). This will be well worth it.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

Face value tickets for:

Police = $260, $98.50, $52
Josh Groban = $99 / $75 / $45 / $35
Killers = $45, $35, $29.50
Keith Urban = $79.50 / $69.50 / $47.50

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

You could save $5 and see Josh Groban.

Seriously, they are the only group that made Coachella worth the money last year.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm with Spencer. I bought tickets to the Seattle show last night and I gotta say, it felt like a bargain.

But I have been really desperate to see them for a ling time.

― Scott CE, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

yah well im not going to coachella either.

― chaki, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

Supposedly they're playing Lolla this year too. That will definitely make my early-bird $60 tickets worth it.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 23 March 2007 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

if they don't come to australia i will cry blood.

Playing UK and Irish festivals towards the end of June and beginning of July? Conspicuous hole in the touring schedule over the last weekend of June? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, DON'T YOU?

― Matt DC, Sunday, 25 March 2007 22:43 (nineteen years ago)

...Poptimism appearance?

OMG I was so bladdered, sorry again man.

Can't see them in Ireland as already sold out. Gutted is me.
