Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

I think Shaun Ryder was why NME invented "fook"

iirc 'fahckin cahnt' was how they did Essex

Question: is the song getting any mainstream airplay in the US? Any airplay at all?

It was playing on the tinny radio behind the counter where I was getting my lunch (not in the US though). It sounded pretty terrible tbh, I can see why you'd ramp up the compression if that's the media you're targeting.

It's been getting some airplay on that Canadian station that accidentally leaked it.

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.

Ah, the Britannia Music Club.

report from a friend djing a wedding on Long Island last weekend:

"had 50 middle-aged people from Ohio dancing to Get Lucky, dropped it right after 'we are family' :)"

*Like*

middle-aged ? how old were they when homework was released ?

watching the Clippers / Grizzlies game last night on the teevee I heard this song being played over the loudspeaker during one time out

xp Did any of them get lucky?

middle-aged ? how old were they when homework was released ?

haha this was my thought too

They are from 1974 and 1975. They were in their early 20s.

Oh wait you meant the audienc? My bad.

middle aged means 50-65 now fyi

Question: is the song getting any mainstream airplay in the US? Any airplay at all?

yes, i've been hearing it quite a bit on one of my city's top 40 stations basically ever since it premiered

was scanning through Boston's Kiss 108 playlist of 206 songs to see if it would show up; got to "Stuck On You" by Lionel Richie before lolling and bailing

Jam'n 94.5, the hip-hop station, has three Macklemore songs in its top 40 so I'm not going to keep looking as I don't want to start crying

middle-aged ? how old were they when homework was released ?

speak 4 yrself

Middle aged = your parents' age. This has always been true and still is.

I am reasonably certain that mid-70s is not "middle-aged"

middle aged means 50-65 now fyi

cougar joke

like 50 middle-aged people from Ohio posting about Get Lucky

The US Census lists middle age as including both the age categories 35 to 44 and 45 to 54

argh

We stay up all night to fall asleep

mouthy, brimstead, chew: nope no luck there, not Hauschka or the others.

It was more like: take Hauschka being house-y, record it somewhat live sounding like Tussle, and cross it with like... Steve Reich piano piece style repetition? Doubts increase that this exists as a thing.

I got home from an evening out before eight o'clock tonight, who am I kidding

seems GQ magazine has an exclusive of some kind interview wise. here's an interesting paragraph

"In the end, they wound up making the “Daft Punk sucks!” record themselves... It’s extremely impressive musically, weirdly pedantic in places - unless you think there’s merit in listening to Giorgio Moroder haltingly talk about his early days as a German club warrior over a click track - and probably a little overgenerous to guys like Panda Bear, who basically gets to sneak a solo track onto one of the most anticipated albums of the past decade. I would say the disco-connoisseur-y songs outnumber the potential pop smashes by a ratio of about 4 to 1, but there are definitely a couple of potential pop smashes. I have no idea who they imagine Random Access Memories being for, besides themselves, but there is something seductive about that, the band’s ability to do something so totally, breathtakingly self-indulgent - it makes you want to try to see it their way.
“It’s maybe not ‘Kill the father,” Bangalter says. “But it’s like: Things have got to move on.”

Do you have a link to the whole thing?

we're up all night to get lucky we're up all night to get lucky we're up all night to get lucky we're up all night to get lu- o shit I have to get up in eight hours I better go.

Thanks Crüt!!

I just noticed that "Get Lucky" debuted at #19 on Billboard this week.

So that setttles it, then. This will not be a pop album or a commercial hit the way Discovery was. It's experimental and slightly weird.

Also, melancholic.

everybody go home

^ YES I DO

we're up all night to get... pedantic?

wonder what the other 2 'pop smashes' are then.

Later I'll give the two of them a ride home in my car, and from the backseat, de Homem-Christo will break character to beatbox the hard-hitting percussion break in Montell Jordan's "This IS How We Do It" when it comes on the radio, a sublime and unexpected moment, like watching a goat yell like a man.

lmao

haha

we're up all night to get... pedantic?

surely the most precise of ilx board descriptions.

which makes me wonder : do people, sayg under 30, care about this new DP ?
it really feels like a 30 something/40 nostalgia trip (which is perfectly fine by me !).
like the music we loved when we were kids done by the musicans we loved when we were students...

in europe (incl. UK) i get that feeling yeah: RAM interest is mainly restricted to people who got discovery if not homework at the time.

it seems very different in the US though.
