In that case would you please explain my corny indie fukkitude to me, please? Perhaps you could summarize it as, "You prefer Discovery over Homework."

i definitely like being a toe-tapping dance music fiend, especially compared to being a corny indie fuck. corny indie fucks are wack.

i dont even know that i agree that hw is better - i listen to that a lot more than discovery cause of discovery burnout, and i dont really listen to hw THAT often any more either - but rev, NTI's argument is really boring and cliched, regardless of whether hes 'right' or not
― deej, Monday, 3 March 2008 07:23 (sixteen years ago) link
its the equivalent of 'outkast TRANSCENDS rap music' kind of nonsense. you can still love outkast and think they're one of the best rap groups ever but arguing it thru 'dont you see? other rap is just GENERIC RAP MUSIC' is a boring (and fallacy ridden) way to do it
― deej, Monday, 3 March 2008 07:24 (sixteen years ago) link
i like both but i listen to 'discovery' more.
so that gets my vote.
― sam500, Monday, 3 March 2008 07:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Unless of course the subject at hand has crossed over into a totally distinct genre. Which, btw, DP did with Discovery. It's not like I'm pissing on an acid house band for being acid house -- why would I fucking bother? I'm saying 1) this record doesn't function as much more THAN an acid house record, bells, whistles and satin jackets notwithstanding and 2) that Daft Punk were more interesting when they left the trappings of it behind and actually put all that crap in the music itself, not the liner sleeve.
― Naive Teen Idol, Monday, 3 March 2008 07:44 (sixteen years ago) link
so they TRANSCEND dance music into a totally distinct genre?
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 3 March 2008 08:06 (sixteen years ago) link
a totally distinct genre that sounds like a mix of phoenix, cassius and alan braxe
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 3 March 2008 08:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Deej: Yeah, I get all that, but I'm not really defending NTI here so much as objecting to the language vahid is using to refute him, which is just as stale, if not even worse.
― The Reverend, Monday, 3 March 2008 08:09 (sixteen years ago) link
you know what's not stale? JOCKING DAFT PUNK in 2008.

xpost: Musicians be having influences. (And surely that influence runs both ways with all those examples. I mean, weren't DP in a band with one of the dudes from Phoenix, ffs?)
― The Reverend, Monday, 3 March 2008 08:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm just saying that deliberately portentious sound notwithstanding <i>Homework</i> was at its core kind of a generic acid house record.
how is this record portentous?
voted 'homework' for sentimental reasons; they're both amazing, there isn't that much separating them; could care less about "as-of-2007-DP-fans" and their tastes since i've been one since 1996. 'homework' isn't pedestrian.

You're absolutely right. I should have ran out and bought the "Alive" single when I was 8, then I'd have cred.

I've read the Justice thread, not interested in doing it again. Yikes. Still lol @ one of the first couple posts: "That pretentious symbol looks familiar", though.

And I disagree, if you close your eyes, it sounds exactly like something from '96 -- that is, ANYTHING from '96.
this is totally wrong to me. list three tracks by other people that could've been on Homework or vice versa. in '96 nothing sounded like DP (not even just the recontext of disco on 'Trax On Da Rocks' - American takes on this weren't as 'psychedelic' or the deeper-but-less-range 'Pansoul').
― blueski, Monday, 3 March 2008 12:18 (sixteen years ago) link
listened to bit of old Leftfield essential mix from '94 last night and it's got 'Alive' in it daamn

i d/l'd 'discovered', this thing of 'tracks sampled by' DP. kind of bemused -- no idea what connects 'da funk' to the track they include.

Naaaaaaahhhhhh...
If anything, Homework kinda went against the grain. The big trends in house and techno at that time were breakbeats, deep/progressive house, drum and bass, trip hop, etc... Trippy, spacey, "warm", "deep" immersive sounds. Daft Punk were a bit more stripped down, hard edged, disco-ish, electro-ish. They were a ahead of their time in some ways, and looking back in others.

Listen u fong, ilm is a general interest music board, not a dance board, and Discovery obv has the wider reach. 44 votes for Homework is still pretty significant!

so people with "general interest" don't actually know anything about dance as we can see here. and judging by the "rap" producers poll, they dont know shit about hiphop either. so for all the general interest, what the fuck does anyone know about here?
