Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

i think the scratching is a turntable

idk though

Sounds kind of like a guitar solo with someone scratching over the top to me.

there's this restaurant near me that's got this beautiful expansive patio covered with trees and is perpetually filled with beautiful people having conversations, but thing is the food sucks and they give you too much of it.

Really hate Paul Williams voice though. Rainbow Connection or no.

What's the scratching sound on latter part of Giorgio by Moroder? Is that a turntable or a guitar?

"the food was terrible... and such large portions!"

for the record i am not particularly worked up

also i'd rather have people post negatively in threads about music i loved (which are plentiful! i post in them all the time!) instead of the usual tumbleweed, because seeing a range of opinions interests me

I too am interested in a "range of opinions". You saying music is "boooooring/suuuuucks" is not very opinionated though, and that is your usual shtick in thread about music you don't like. You hadn't even HEARD the new Daft Punk album but already came marching in declaring your dread.

With love,

Tumbleweed

aside from the breakdown, "fragments of time" isn't doing it for me. like most of the rest, though, so maybe i'll come around.

French musicians seem obsessed with the 1970s to a pretty unhealthy degree. Other decades are available for inspiration.

ATTN: THIS IS A METAPHOR

Honestly this is like complaining about a box of chocolates because one had coconut in it. Don't eat that one, silly.

I still skip Crescendolls every time I listen to Discovery.

i for one am glad that lex is being boring itt. every wheel needs an axle.

WTF Josiah

What? I really hate coconut?

Really hate Paul Williams voice though. Rainbow Connection or no.

"Lose Yourself To Dance" is amaze fyi

I'm a good, kind spirited dude, but skipping Crescendolls, Josiah, really?!

It's just a little too ... fast? Like if I played it out it'd be at -8?

What Le bateau said

Didn't Daft Punk say they loved Sebastian Tellier?

one of the daft punk guys produced his album sexuality and it rules.

"contact" = the super roots 7 of french disko

"contact" is awesome. i'm afraid, sort of, that i might have bought into the hype, because i never considered myself a big daft punk guy but am loving this whole album

Yeah that album is perfection, was hoping this would be similar in some ways.

had to open the window and let the sun in for the second play of this

mostly this seems like an album for people with no underwear on

Stephen T Erlewine @sterlewine
I like Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories but I also enjoy the Alan Parsons Project so perhaps take my quick take with a grain of salt.

This isn't Steely Dan, this is Atlanta Rhythm Section covering Steely Dan.

So far I have been listening to this in a suit and that works too

Who is lex in journalist terms?

i'm wearing a dress shirt and blue khakis. it feel like i'm doin' it right. xpost

*feels

touch is the real standout here insofar as it's the most obvious piece of shit. the moroder track is vv good, game of love and instant crush better than that. i kinda like the panda bear one. the rest is kind of w/e.

white linen, translucent prints, strappy footwear, salt spray, rum drinks. someone is wearing a captain's hat. no one thinks twice about what anything costs. ever.

i just accidentally downloaded a leak of human after all from 2005

get lucky sounds good on a dance floor i think. but outside of that i don't like it *that* much.

i'm wearing khakis, a johnny cash t-shirt, and a minnesota vikings track jacket/zip-up, K-SWISS shoes (important note they are blue suede uppers with WHITE stripes, as u know it's very hard to find K SWISS that aren't black on white or white on white, found these at Friedman's shoes in North Mpls off the Broadway/94 W exit, very good sneaker store, check it out if you are in mpls)

also i never knew who sang this "i would never wanna be like you" song but it turns out it's alan parson's project....

'touch' is really good but I've been on a disco kick all weekend so I'm really feeling those ~vibes~

something in Williams' delivery reminds me of Shatner, gives me a good hit of cheese

hit of cheese is undeniable, good part up for debate

the Panda Bear track runs out of inspiration after a minute but, yeah, otm, and the only context in which I wanna hear him.

I have listened to this record front to back 4 times now. Thoughts:

- It is melancholy, yet lascivious
- Robot blues, tears creeping down metal masks a lot of the time
- Love making
- Groovy, soul, intimate
- First-listen reviewers all over the world have failed HORRIBLE. Not one word about from them about the melancholy on this record.
- This record will be butchered on social media (because of the insane build up, that also gathered a lot of people otherwise not interested in DP into the "viral" (ugh) side of it)

expect it's gonna get hit hard by generation skrill

I think my dad might like Touch if he heard it, he listened to a lot of Three Dog Night and Chicago in the late 70s.

two tracks in, it is quite like tellier's sexuality, no problem with that at all, one of the best records of the last few years. arise guy man your time to get credit is finally here.

- Robot blues, tears creeping down metal masks a lot of the time

weeping fuck robots is what you're saying

tellier's one of the best i meant, i'll wait to hear the rest of this before deciding i like it or repeatedly shouting it's shit to the uncaring cosmos.

Totally, yes

xp

Is it really a binary? I'm horniest when I'm sad, like any good robot.
