Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

I was just listening to top 40, and they played a block of celebrity station IDs. "Hi, this is Robin Thicke," "Hi, this is Justin Timberlake," "Hi, this is Daft Punk ..." With that last one my ears pricked up, because no ways was it Daft Punk. High voice, no accent. It sounded like Spike Jonze, actually.

robot voice?

No! Just some high pitched nasal voice. Like Spike Jonze.

Spike Jonze has an American accent though

exactly. i said no accent. no french accent.

the other day, three different normal, non-music-obsessed people in my fb feed called Get Lucky "Up All Night"

I felt like that *meant something*

Overheard in the pub last night: "So anyway, he spent 15 minutes explaining to me all the different meanings of the phrase 'get lucky.'"

lol what

uh, that's to the condoms, not your anecdote

Daft Punk has a partnership with Durex now is how NME described it. (Much cooler than just saying "licensing deal".)

i heard "get lucky" played on a very AOR station that is associated with middle aged ladies and thats when i knew this song was transcendent

This is basically a novelty record

basically

*kicks over nearby trashcan*

*fumes at computer monitor*

Yikes, trying to decide who is the weakest link in that cover:

Cline?
Kotche?
Tweedy?
Stirratt?

it's probably the link between wilco and dance music

i dnt know wilco dude names, but the rhythm guitarist just playing a facsimile of a xerox copy of a drawing some kid made of disco guitar

i think if nile rogers met him in florida he'd have the legal right to murder him

I think any working wedding band could do a better job with it than that.

i immediately regret that joke uhghhhhhhhhh
xp

don't apologize, man. stand your ground.

get lucky tonight

your prayers will never be answered again.

we've come too far

LYTD sounds so effing good walking past an open doorway on a Saturday night - hey let's go in there

i posted this on fb a while back so otm

this album is an intentionally hollow lifeless piece of shit. Get Lucky is the Magic Carpet Ride of our young decade. I thought HAA was taking the piss but boy did they show us

100% of the noises on this record just make me want to spin up christopher cross, steely dan and hall+oates with a splash of ye olde weather report - or one of those curated "disco rarities!" 2CD comps from 2005
because any of those would be an improvement - and the worst part is that I feel certain that DP intended for me to feel that way - which is also kind of hilarious and awesome in the OK HA HA YOU GOT ME sense

but yeah basically this whole record can go fuck itself and I hate all of it

GL was lol catchy the first time it got stuck in my head. After that it dawned on me that I got took. There's not a lot I enjoy less than feeling like a chump

and the worst part is that I feel certain that DP intended for me to feel that way - which is also kind of hilarious and awesome in the OK HA HA YOU GOT ME sense

The ego on you, thinking DP made an album just to fool Mr. Tomboto...

Seriously though, don't confuse your dislike of a record for the band being "ironic" about their music.

That wasn't supposed to be an image, but your quote:

lol u got duped and now everyone thinks your dumb

what a useless waste of space you are, listening to a song and liking it

ROBOTS CAN'T MAKE MUSIC

I like to play this record for my dinner guests and laugh at them if they show any sign of enjoyment. Dupes!

RAM is the whoopie cushion for millenials

I unliked Nile Rogers and Giorgio Moroder on facebook yesterday.

i dig the robot voices on a purely aesthetic level... the ostentatious ugliness of it all. but they're not, like, "fun" or "pleasant" to listen to. they don't work on this shit. weirdly ugly robot vox are better than shitty human vox though, i guess.

I don't want to share message board space with people who don't like "Magic Carpet Ride"

except about magic carpet ride

most of this album would be a big improvement if it was as fun as "Magic Carpet Ride"

I think I would have enjoyed this album more if they'd bumped the BPMs up by at least 10 across the board on the first 9 tracks

it's not that I don't like MCR, it's more like it makes me feel like I need to shove some kind of diminished epi-pen into my forehead to offset the D C G A barf
so it's more like an allergy

I still like certain kinds of fun, like messy sandwiches
but this record is like a molecular gastronomist's cheeseburger
so it's still a cheeseburger
and yet, fuck me for ordering it

come on man you know you love the pedal steel over those synths that come in at the end of "Beyond"
