Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

uh

I like and own bros

Couple of tracks into the iTunes stream, this is...not what I expected. I love late-70s Herbie and early 10s Lissvik and find Steely Dan tolerable so I'm happy enough but in terms of alienating people this is way more of a political statement than the Knife album.

IIRC Person Pitch was better than any Animal Collective album I'd listened to but I only really wanted to play it once

(dammit should have gone with a "When Will I Be Famous?" joke)

Love Person Pitch, but it feels PB is repeating himself

toddler eye exam, how can they tell?

i'm really liking this so far, but seandalai otm---not really what i was expecting?

Please don't laugh because I do not know the answer. I took my 2 year to an ophthalmologist because he was showing signs of a lazy eye.. After a very long exam doctor said he needs glasses. +6.50(r) +6.0(l) took him to get his rubber glasses and the eye care lady looked at the script and was like wow that is very strong. Now the only sign he is showing is the sometimes lazy eye... How sure are doctors, I mean how do they really know. I have never wore glasses and husband doesn't either so I am not familiar with the whole glasses process.. Please explain

lol DJP that is the opinion of a half dozen people I know, although possibly to the point of really enjoying Person Pitch and just not liking AC

Lex, srsly, why do you spend half of your time speaking about music you find "boring" or "dire shit"? Vampire Weekend, now this. I just don't get it. Are you a masochist?

i don't? i listen to new releases that fall vaguely within my field out of curiosity/interest in keeping up/because it's sort of my job. and then i talk about them. i also rave about loads of new music, like every single day of my life! i'm sorry you only seem interested in the most boring obvious hype-releases tho

shut the fuck up

Wasn't expecting to like this Panda Bear track as much as I do, but here we are.

Do the PB haters also dislike 'Person Pitch' and 'Bros' in particular? If so, I feel bad for them.

two of the worst pieces of music ever recorded iirc

We get it Lex.

of course hardly any of the people raving about it have hitherto given the tiniest shit about todd the god :(

I luv todd and this track is the shit u mad >_<

thanks for the peven everett track though lex, that thing is awesome

yeah lex you pick and choose things to fit your narratives a lot of the time

'Contact' is a great track as well. I'm liking this.

lex, when you get like this, your posts remind me a lot of the music of animal collective.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

oh stop whining about a tiny dissenting opinion

shrill, discordant, and easily ignored

at least animal collective sound like they're having a good time

this fight is making me want to try listening to the stream again

those first 100 seconds were really boring, though

it's not the dissent you fool. i usually agree with you.

dan you should listen to this instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-Zg6hB-UE

otm

of course hardly any of the people raving about it have hitherto given the tiniest shit about todd the god :(

this week in smug tedium

Does a little happy dance.

does a little happy dance what

^^ worst knock-knock joke

seeing lots of ppl entering the bargaining stage of the kubler-ross stages wrt to this album

lol, how many people are taking the paul williams track like an eight minute punch in the face

So who's going to start the RAM vs. m b v poll?

It was nice of Daft Punk to make this particular Steely Dan fan a disco album. That's all, not looking for a fight.

Will get filed in between my George Duke and Herbie records.

I kinda can't wait to pick the sunniest point in the day and go for a walk around the neighborhood while listening to the back half of this.

the italo parts of this sound to me like a poor version of alex moulton's ideas. the funk bits are sub paul hardcastle.

"motherboard" does sound like something off "exodus" i'll give you that, but not ~poor~ at all imo

i hear no steely dan in this whatsoever but hey

"fragments of time" is very steely dan

I hear more Toto than the Dan.

i'm kinda curious abt this now actually, i wasn't going to listen to this but i can't resist DIFFICULT ALBUMS

i'm sorry you only seem interested in the most boring obvious hype-releases tho

Lol. A 'tu quoque' as reply? Really? Come now...

'Fragments of Time' one of the standouts so far. Indeed v Steely Dan/Yachty/10cc

What's a Steely Dan?

Finished. I like this album quite a bit!

Keep in mind I like later Jamiroquai, and I was listening to Captain & Tenille and Tony Orlando & Dawn last night. Sounds like Daft Punk aren't interested in Dance Music (tm) anymore, and going more in the production/soundtrack/retro realm. Didn't Daft Punk say they loved Sebastian Tellier? Looking back at that statement, this album isn't as surprising.

i'm kinda curious abt this now actually, i wasn't going to listen to this but i can't resist DIFFICULT ALBUMS

granted I only listened to 100 seconds of this before wandering back to Savages and Keep Shelley In Athens but "difficult" is the last word I would apply to those 100 seconds

All hail our yacht disco overlords.
