Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Also, melancholic.

everybody go home

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

^ 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

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.

i remember phoning a friend on the landline to tell him to turn on radio 1 because they were playing da funk and being shouted at by his mum for calling so late

Last month, when the band were filming the video for Get Lucky in Los Angeles, Rodgers says he realised that the dancers didn't really know what they were listening to.

"Somebody called out, 'Wow, what kind of music is that?'" Rodgers recalls. "I didn't hesitate, I said, 'disco!' And they all screamed back, 'Yeah!'. It was like they'd found something mythical that they'd heard about but didn't know. There was an organic connection between the kids and the music. At the end they were literally weeping. I've seen those moments. I've been that guy – and it was for real."

lots of ppl i know (<30) are interested in DP, what is this nonsense

We just dont want this thread to die so we're discussing all the possible psychosocial implicatons of this new album. Following up: race, gender and religion. Which ones dig? Which ones dont?

I'm sure most religions oppose the technosexual implications of a pair of robots up all night to get some. Theyre still habing a hard time approving human/human marriage.

*having

The dancers were literally weeping, people! Where is this video?

Which dancers?

video prob gets released sometime this week?

still crossing fingers for a paul williams vice video

old ppl (like really old ppl) love disco ime

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.

i figure that since really old people (but not THAT old) would've been in their 30s-40s when disco was getting popular, it makes sense that future old ppl are getting excited about daft punk. also disco is the easiest music to dance to, an old could twitch their eye in time and that would be a valid disco move

also disco is the best style of music ever developed

otm

"Nile Rogers jam makes people happy" is the least surprising thing about any of this

yahhh like my grandparents on my mom's side basically didn't like any music after 1955, except for disco, which they loved

it's got a beat, u can dance to it

my parents still hate disco

your parents aren't in the demographic I'm talkin bout tho

tru. also I'm pretty sure that in their heads all disco sounds like KC and the Sunshine Band.

I was in a trendy club today and 'get lucky' was played. The 'posh' people we're pretty into it.

That said, they were all pretty drunk.

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.

you're living in the wrong era if you think 'experimental and slightly weird' and 'commercial hit' are opposed

this is about to be a much bigger commercial smash, at least in america, as we've gone over many times itt

My mom's favorite musical sound is Nile-style rhythm guitar, wonder if they'll play "get lucky" on the local r&b station.

Well, my comment was tongue in cheek... just paraphrasing the CQ interview. It seems that the gal who interviewed them was being unnecessarily polite about the album. It seems to me that she didn't really like it as much as she thought she would (or should) but she didn't want to talk shit about it neither.

Haha yeah totally

wait how else are you supposed to listen to music in a trendy club

I think at this point it's pretty safe to say than rather a lot of people are really into this record whether they're drunk or not.

I've been enjoying watching the "tribute" versions pop up on Spotify

Whippersnappers into it. Spent last night dealing cards to my students at After-Prom. Many were irked the prom DJ didn't play "Get Lucky."

there's an Enrique now?

lol at that daughter cover

it's kinda really great

Get Lucky has moved up to number one here in the UK selling 155,000 copies which is the biggest sales for a number one single this year by quite a long way. I thought this would be a hit but had no idea just how big it was going to be, the video isn't even out yet.

I have no idea whether being no.1 means anything anymore
