Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

everyone's favorite track was actually "Revolution 909" for the first few months

OTM

scratch that, i was 20!

i think i was 18 when i heard "musique"

then "da funk", and then only really after the video came out that "around the world" really took off

for reference iirc the big anthems (in california at least) of the day were like "psychic bounty killaz" and "fly life"

will admit that the first thing i thought when i heard spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished is 'well somebody's been listening to omd'

I was 22 when Homework came out, at college radio all the dance music DJs were like GAHHHH THIS IS THE NIRVANA NEVERMIND OF ELECTRONIC THIS WILL CHANGE MUSIC

and it kinda did but not in 1997

heard 'praise you' on the oldies station the other day

:(

reminds me that fifteen years ago when i was playing the fuck out of 'rockafeller skank' i don't think i imagined i'd someday see something like this (she's all that i know but still)

pretty strong argument against 'dance music but w/ real instruments'

looooool

dance music with real instruments:

lol that they left out the vocoder part, like people are supposed to sing it

now I remember why I stopped watching Dancing with the Stars

also holy hell

kellie pickler dances like a girl who knows how to have fun

I like that they give each collaborator a different color of backlighting in these vids

One of the songs will sound like the Doobie Brothers on Segways. What will the rest sound like?

Panda Bear being Panda Bear?

anonanon, maybe you're thinking of The Vegetable Orchestra? Or Maxence Cyrin, who did piano covers of some ecltronic classics? Those are the only ones I thought of that weren't brought up before...

CrispyBen, nope no luck on those leads, thx though.

anonanon--

whomadewho?
munk?
fujiya & miyaji?

is it just me or are the drums on the looped parts of "get lucky" in the promo/interview vids way heavier than on the single version?

lyrics different too in the snl commercial right?

where did everybody go...?

hey guys, presentness!

...hello?

presentism, first of all

checking, gr8080... nope, a lot less slick and produced than those

more like a really lo-fi version of Aufgang or rough demo versions of Hauschka (when the latter does house-y stuff) but maybe with more prominent live drums... idk

presentize

I wish Daft Punk's music was more presentable.

I wish the present had a ribbon

I was 20 when homework came out

i was DOING homework when homework came out

♪♫ up all night to do homework ♪♫
(actually how I feel right now)

I prob first heard Homework and Discovery in like 2005 when I was 19. How's that for real cred?

I bought Homework when I was 12. Only crut has more cred than me if hes telling the truth.

crut emerged from the womb humming Wendy Carlos iirc

I was living in France when Homework came out, beat that crut

I was living in a home when Homework came out, beat that crut.

Ironically, I was a mongoose when Human After All came out.

I was 17 when Homework came out. I didn't really appreciate them until I dropped the teenage snootiness. I was desperate to be thought of as a cool kid, and the more obscure the music the better. Daft Punk didn't fit into that category. It was all about the big beat and finding awesome funk tunes on vinyl.

I totally missed on Homework when it came out. I thought the album cover looked too 80s or something. At the time, I was dividing my electronic music attention between Sasha & Digweed, Dieselboy, Keoki, Electric Skychurch, and the Deee-lite remix album.

nb I didn't buy it till ~2001 when I was 13

in primary school, every boy i knew had the same ten or so cds...

daft punk, homework
prodigy, fat of the land
a blur album
what's the story morning glory
verve, urban hymms
chemical brothers, the one with block rockin beats
fatboy slim, come a long way baby
reef, place your hands one
manic street preachers, everything must go
bently rhythm ace
+ something by ocean colour scene, or embrace or something like that.

i grew up a rockist though, and *only* owned cds by prince, santana and jimi hendrix

I would have been 26 for Homework, and I remember one of my friends at the radio station going "I like 'Da Funk,' it reminds me of 'Never Let Me Down Again' by Depeche." Probably explains why KROQ jumped on it too.

I was 21 when homework was released.
a student in paris while it was burning with french touch sounds.
"around the world" was the jam.

def remember first hearing homework, spent the day at a mate's house who had an older brother and a hangout room complete with a pool table, cd player, drum kit. we put it on, ate sweets, tried to smoke for the first time and generally acted pretty weird/silly. those guys became my secret music friends.

remember thinking it sounded different to what i'd hear 'kevs' or 'trevs' playing in their souped up vdubs, and also different from what i'd heard at the roller/school disco. i didn't HATE it like i did all other 'fake music' but i didn't really get into it until i was about 15 and trying to go to the pub.

14, loved "Da Funk", bought the album but didn't really click with most of it for a few years until I got into house properly. Chemical Bros and The Prodigy and etc. were easier propositions. Most of Homework is way more thuggish ruggish than that stuff.

must have been super fun to have been a youngster in paris during the french touch years damn

I was 17/18 and thought it wasn't as interesting as Orbital.
