Daft Punk

So they've got a new album coming out next month. Random Access Memories. A new promo just aired tonight during SNL that pretty much blew my mind. It's been on constant repeat ever since I found it on You Tube.

So, um, in short: GET HYPE, BITCHES.

This song is good, but it seems to be more of a Chic-based song (Nile Rodgers is there, after all) than a Daft 'Punk-ish' one.

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to this album.

Like I said in the Chatterbox:

They released the entirety of their new single!

I'm sorry I'm linking to a tumblr post instead of a youtube video, I wasn't able to find a version with this quality on youtube.

I was a little skeptical when I saw the words "feat. Pharrell Williams", but I like this. Kinda getting back to the disco-ier moments of Discovery.

Link's dead, but whatever it was, it wasn't real. There numerous "leaks" in the past few days. There has been no official word on a release date for the single, but it's not today.

The song has been confirmed to be about six minutes long, so that should immediately discredit most "full versions" currently out there.

That was just the teasers edited together into one song.

Dammit.

Get Lucky is set to debut on various radio stations tomorrow, with the radio edit available for download on Amazon the same day.

Still trying to decide whether to go digital or get the CD.

Get the vinyl.

Is there gonna be a vinyl pressing?

Yes. You can pre-order it from the official site.

Also the radio edit of Get Lucky is out on Amazon and Zune/Xbox Music. Disappointing. All the good guitar stuff isn't in this version and the new lyrics are more nonsensical than usual. Pharrell's performance is lacking in places. I suspect the album version will be much better.

So. Wasn't disco supposed to be dead?

But, yeah, new Daft Punk album? I'm up for that.

Ah'm so tired of waitin'...

[1] apparently they choose the small country town of Wee Waa, NSW Australia for the album launch. Which has a population of just under 2000, sheep included.

Oh Daft Punk, you so crazy.

It is named Wee Waa. What else do you need?

So apparently if you pitch-shift "Get Lucky" a certain amount, it turns into a Michael Jackson song. Freaky, but cool.

I'm not familar with Daft Punk, but this might be of interest to you.

I like that they even edited in some of his many Lyrical Tics.

I don't know how an electronic house duo can make a 70's funk disco tune, but I LOVE it.

Their music was sampled from Detroit and Baltimore disco in the first place; they're just going full circle.

Of course they are so fanatically popular right now that they could release an whole album of this goat screaming and still be well received

The 70s vibe was still a good choice but.

Ah, it's a pity I don't keep up with pop music anymore. I'm depriving myself of such amazing Fanservice...

It's not surprising that a house group is doing disco, tbh, house itself arose as out of disco and has been sampling and emulating disco records since its conception
