Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Just to clarify: my horrible dad joke above was about calling rappers 'rap-ists' and not calling all rappers rapists. Anyway, terrible joke, flag posting myself, etc.

i associate this with disco the way i associate jt's "rock your body" with disco. this is just pop music reblogging MJ

lindstrom being brought up itt is kinda hilar/completely silly

we have lindstrom, why would we need pharrell singing over disco loops with nile rodgers playing guitar?

that said, while this song is p great, it's not a game changer or anything

Wait, why are we expecting Daft Punk to release 'game changers' all of a sudden? Have they ever changed anyone's game? I thought they just made fun, inconsecuential music.

haven't heard the song but no idea why people always seem to be wanting game changers the whole time

some things are just good and fun it's nbd guys

there is the "looking into the future" point that keeps getting driven home in the collaborators videos but that's not necessarily the same thing as changing the game

no luck keeping sports jargon out of a Daft Punk thread.

but Lindstrom instead of Pharrell? Might as well find Fonzi Thornton.

the melody of Get Lucky is a slice of great pop songwriting, with maybe just a little too much of the "were up all night to get lucky" hook repetitions.

the production and arrangements on the other hand, are nothing special imo

lol oh hooray we have lamestrom, we can forget about all other house music.

is it house music, disco, jobbing nu-disco, or pop? this thread has been very confusing to me!

lindstrom? whitney houston? lcd soundsystem? fuck!

^^ actual lyric

"Get Lucky" is okay. The best part is the vocoder explosion.

early daft punk tracks ("da funk", "musique", etc) WERE game changers at the time

what was the last 'game changer' in any genre

i'm gonna say scary monsters and nice sprites

heard this on the radio, it's good but i'd like it better w/o daft punk's robot voices

whaaaaat

breaking records on spotify: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1559016/daft-punks-get-lucky-sets-record-on-spotify

'i like that beatles song except for the lennon/mccartney stuff' xp

imo get lucky is disco but not particularly good disco -- production is perfectly taut and light but overall it's too unremarkable

it's also catchy as hell and has a fantastic groove

it's not the second coming but it is a very good song

word

"influential producer/ bassist Nile Rodgers"
say what, Billboard?

i am drinking too much wine and playing this on loop and fuck everyone who has come into this thread whinging, basically

itunes says 36 plays and it's still amazing and you are wrong is what i'm saying

these are the aspects that stand out:

1. an amazing campaign of word of mouth/social media noise that has elevated the buzz for this song/album beyond rational levels
2. a six-year or whatever drought between proper daft punk albums

putting those factors aside because they're just noise in my sphere of influence just at this second, what we're left with is (a) a song that's incredibly good because shut up that's why (b) daft punk evolving to disco/funk on actual instruments played by actual people (c) a travelling groove that fuck you is the best travelling groove in years

i didn't even like daft punk once, to whit: i remember having an argument (in 1998) with an old (i'm talking in his like 50s) friend who insisted the song 'da funk' and the associated clip were the best things ever, and that daft punk were amazing and revolutionarily talented, and i was not convinced. nfi how to contact this guy now but i would potentially be rolling out a giant 'I WAS WRONG' banner

output-wise, autechre shits on these guys. all the hype and anticipation over one polished to shit track.. gimme a BREAK

GOD

we should probably list everyone who, output-wise, shits on these guys

shitting nu-disco

it's just...i can never tell with autechre if it's just that my youtube is having trouble buffering.

wtf is autechre, are they fun, do they have cool robots

Webern > Kandinsky > Cervantes > Bob Hope > Autechre > Daft Punk

you know, all daft punk is doing here is ripping off can, autechre, and alice coltrane.

can someone get the pronunciation guide guys on "autechre"?

itt we compare niles rogers with a fax machine

next up: johnny marr was shit because blixa bargeld used more chainsaws

I like the song a lot, even though I don't think it's an INSTANT CLASSIC or whatever. But I do think the first time I hear it on a dance floor I will be super-excited.

how's life do u only listen to music on youtube

sometimes i listen to music on the cloud

number 3 in the fun 40 in the UK.

Ach, that's a bit disappointing
