Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

idk i dont agree with that post at all but i think theyre definitely canon-building here, just based on the way theyve talked about it. the same way theyve been doing since 'teachers' i guess

If this is indeed an attempt at canon-making, it’s really interesting how people like Larry Levan are written out of the story.

Yeah, why the fuck didn't they collaborate with Larry Levan?

lol

imo it's somewhat remarkable that daft punk have never collaborated with a female artist, esp in their field

I don't know what kind of canon-building would include Paul Williams, whose presence is solely down to DP's teenage obsession with Phantom of the Paradise.

"We need to construct an EDM canon. Quick, get the guy who wrote for Bugsy Malone and the Muppets! And the frontman of the Strokes - where would EDM be without him?"

Maybe they just prefer male voices to female ones. I don't think their "field" is relevant here because they've always done their own thing.

Maybe their next album will have them collaborating with Janelle Monae or Laurie Anderson.

they're gonna collab with emeli sande obv

She's waiting in reception.

I'm sure she was their initial choice before they had to settle for Giorgio.

NOT CONSENSUS CLASSIC -_-

melody maker were correct (for once)

of course, every other radiohead album should have probably received worse ratings

Wait a minute.. You don't like Radiohead???

Emeli By Sande

I'd love to hear a cover of Get Lucky done in the celtic folk pop style of Loreena McKennitt. That's right - Loreena McKennitt! She could call it Random Access Mummer's Dance.

Emeli By Sande

A narration of the history of Radio 1 daytime music as recorded into a Nokia 8110, a Nokia 3210, and an iPhone.

would be rad if they did something with barbara walters

lol i mean barbara streisand

a barbara walters interview would be awesome tho-- i bet they'd qualify for her "people who made the year what it was" specials in december

it would be hard to tell if they were crying behind the masks

Barbara Walters with Daft Punk would be the greatest thing since Tammy Wynette sang with the KLF.

barbara by walters

ilx pre-covers: Ned by Raggett

"At first there was a little something called Freaky Trigger..."

Could happen.

My name is Hansjörg Raggett. But you can call me Ned.

what this thread needed was a radiohead discussion

Get Lucky is actually about the time that Thomas Bangalter camped out overnight outside HMV to pick up a copy of the Help compilation on release day.

the lyrics are actually "ned raggett on the money"

Hoho. Love that library footage.

funny or die otm but i kinda got the joke after the first twenty seconds

Bob Lefsetz, a music industry analyst, wrote, “Get Lucky” is the song of the summer, and it’s still SPRING!”

woah

the nubile Lefsetz reacts positively to this DISCO creation...

Poor people on the southern hemisphere. It's the song of the Summer and it's still Autumn for them.

cuuuute!

Up to #14 in the U.S. this week.

("Get Lucky," that is.)

I can't think of a consensus classic from the last decade that had worse reviews.

Yeah, this is a good point.

In 2009 Metacritic compiled a bunch of different publications' "best of the decade" lists into an aggregate top 10. Kid A was #1 (order determined, from what I can tell, by the number of individual top 10 lists on which each album appeared), but it had the 2nd-lowest Metascore, behind only Amy Winehouse's Back in Black.

Damn that is a weird BEST OF THE DECADE LIST right there; i think i only seriously stand up for amy, outkast and the stripes

finally heard this song on terrestrial radio
sounded gooooooooood

it sounded really weird on the top 20 station here. they compressed the hell out of it & it was still quieter than the songs before & after

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
