Daft Punk Live-Seriously this time.....

see if it had been Alexia Chung interviewing she would've made it a much more convincing joke to assume Murphy was from LA.

Just to add my voices the wireless festival praise - twas superb!

a guy I know met them after "rock ness" and they couldn't understand him and his girlfriend was talking to one of their mums

saw them at pukkelpop, last year. it was great despite it being the end of a long weekend and a bit of a crush

micheal = otm about lcd. really half-arsed.

james murphy is just a crap vocalist. it's too bad because the band is great, egging each other on - it would be great if they had a singer who could egg everyone on, too. instead murphy seems to try to go for some kind of ill-advised ian astbury impersonation interspersed with fey indie asides, very little of which seems to have anything to do with the music being played behind him.

I think If I was any other band on the bill that day I'd just give up. Daft Punk were on a different planet.

their costumes turning into red lines at the end

Roll on, Coney Island. I apologize to anyone near me in the crowd that day if I shit myself.

They were amazing last year. I won't get to see them this year unfortunately.

they're playing Coney? oh man

Hallo. Daft Transformers (Daft Punk's Discovery mashed up with The Transformers Movie) can be found in parts here:

Love to hear what y'all think...

It is made of fail and poo.

vahid, i bought tix for the berkeley show for 50$. i bought them at the campus, probably to miss the service charges (i forget why now, was a while ago)

good work, son. you still got mine?

ha. show's on my birthday. thought it was on you

;_;

dispwned

vahid (or anyone else), i bought two for july 27th but it turns out i'm in new jersey all summer, is $65 each fair? still pretty expensive for daft punk i know, but ebay sez 86 bucks (plus $15 shipping!) is the lowest and it'd be nice to recoup that shipping/service charge crap ticketmaster pulls, if anyone's interested

Love to hear what y'all think...

the Harder Better Faster Stronger, Superheroes and Face To Face sync are all pretty good/funny

actually Grimlock mouthing "i need you more than anything in my life" to Kup is the winner.

I saw them on Sunday in Leeds.

The best lighting i have seen - ever. The whole show was fantastic. In parts it was phenomenal, particularly the encore of human after all/one more time/music sounds better with you.

SHITTTT i thought i had floor tickets for the LA show and im in the fucking concourse

my friends are going to kill me ive been telling them were on the floor

i bought tix for seattle and then moved to sf last month so fuckin shitty.

wait... I know someone who bought tickets for Seattle and then moved to SF last month (or maybe it was a month earlier)... and that dude read ILM sometimes.
My official take is that anyone who bought tickets for the Seattle show should find a way up to Seattle... cuz it's gonna be totally awesome!

which i realize is kind of a ridiculous take probably

Yeah as far as I know I am going to be at the Seattle show.

excited

I will be at the Seattle show.

Heading over to the Sports Arena, SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously get as close to the front as u can. it's very worth it.

Seattle is going to be so great. i hope it sells out

I hate you all.

HEY

SPENCER I HOPE U HAD AS GOOD A TIME AS I DID DANCIN UP A STORM IN THE CONCOURSE FXXXED UP

I hate you all.

REV IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN, BUT THE HEAVEN OF THE FUTURE

OMG so good. Different from Coachella too. They should really set it up in Vegas as a regular thing - at the Luxor of course.

Quite simply the most entertaining thing I have ever experienced.

im sober now but still high as balls from this show

and spencer otm re: vegas... those fucking lights!

im sober now

First time?

you cant zing me rodney I JUST SAW DAFT PUNK

Touche.

They're confirmed for that Las "Vegoose" Halloween festival.

cool. if you watch the vids on youtoob of the la show you can see all these faces that were being displayed in the pyramid that i could not see live.

WHEN THEY TURNED AROUND AND IT SAID DAFT PUNK ON THE THE BACK OF THEIR JACKETS THAT WAS AWESOME

very good

the faces were weird. like grandpas babies and people. so weird. weird.

what is the maximum picture size now for posts?

DID U SEE THEM SPENCER?! THE FACES?

the concourse sucked in a lot of ways but i could see all the faces! and the awesome designs on the pyramid!! with the 3D lines and shit. I LOVE U DAFT PUNK

he co-wrote & produced one track on My Dear Melancholy along with Gesaffelstein. what i didn't know is that he co-wrote & produced Kavinsky's "Nightcall"!

neither has been that prolific with solo collaborations really, they've both done about the same amount

had a couple of co-writes on the Tellier album he produced too

Bangalter has done solo stuff (and a little more writing?) as well as other collabs, was my idle half-thought. but it turns out the video is taken directly from the end of Electroma, so no runes to scry either way.

Digging to catch up on the bits they've done since Parcels (in 2017):

Thomas produced and co-wrote Supercherie (2018, kinda Get Lucky-lite) and produced, co-wrote, played synth and sang on L'autre Paradis (2019) for -M-.
Guy-Man wrote the music, co-wrote the lyrics and produced Rest by Charlotte Gainsbourg (2017, mixed by the other bloke from Le Knight Club), and Hurt You (2018) is that Weeknd song with Gesaffelstein.

also was not aware that Natalie Imbruglia had released a cover of Instant Crush

I kind of wonder if the continuity they’ve had since the large-scale festival and arena shows that’s followed through to appearing in the helmets in a variety of tv performances and collaborations has kind of boxed-in the brand. The between-album shifts and minor reinventions are a little trickier to pull off when you’re yoked to the robot helmet shtick?

Random Access was the biggest style shift of all, played with real humans in contrast to the robot helmet schtick. Probably would have been time for a major helmet redesign if they made another record, or just go full anonymous - the helmets were a very minor part of the image when they debuted for Discovery, given the Interstella 5555 videos.

li'l cuties

The Helmets were actually designed for the Discovery era. Interstella 5555 doesn’t feature them much since the idea for the anime was developed with TOEI in the early stages of Discovery and the helmets came after, developed by Alterian. At one point the helmet designs even had hair.

Here’s a short interview with helmet creator Tony Gardner, where you can see the hair design and explaining the process:
