not to beat a dead horse, but I thought this quote was interesting:

Quote :

"One more Daft Punk-thought... Most people thought (and was hoping) for them to come back and breathe new life into dance music. Instead they did something else - which is fine - but their new music just won't be relevant for most dance floors today. And to be honest... "going back to the roots" will never be as innovative as a actually inventing new sounds."

I mean Dada Life said it, so I take it with a grain of salt, but it's pretty much what I thought

I just want to dance!

5/15/2013 11:34:55 AM

Well, Daft Punk is/was the biggest name in DANCE MUSIC...

dance music isn't a genre

5/15/2013 1:10:24 PM

beat me to it

although maybe if you type it in all caps...

5/15/2013 2:02:25 PM

Funny, I thought they were one of the biggest names in POP MUSIC, and as artists, they can do whatever they want.

Is it possible that people in the dance scene are feeling betrayed?

Perhaps "dance music has" become so anonymous, Daft Punk would rather do something different right now?

5/15/2013 2:10:37 PM

I wouldn't consider Human After All or Homework pop, they are definitely dance, electro house and techno respectively. Dance music has always been disposable, and I think Daft Punk wanted to do something that was longer lasting. I expect the dance music community to get its fill as the remixes begin to pour in, and I bet there will be a lot of them. This is essentially the music that electronic musicians sample and rework, done by the best electronic musicians at sampling and reworking (Discovery).

the next daft punk album will be called Music for 18 Robots and will feature looping dial up modems for an hour and a half

"instant crush" on this new daft punk really fucking rules. the first half of the record is definitely better than the second half, with the obvious exception of "get lucky."

5/15/2013 3:40:10 PM

^ Yeah, best track by far.

5/15/2013 3:40:50 PM

well, a Stroke is involved

5/15/2013 4:01:04 PM

I really like this:

Quote :

"Chilly Gonzales on the potential impact of Random Access Memories: "It will lead many musicians out of the cul-de-sac they currently face. And those that do not understand will be cursed to make disposable music on laptops forever.""

5/15/2013 5:20:01 PM

the daft punk album has definitely grown on me more and more with each listen

5/16/2013 8:50:54 PM

Anyone have thoughts about the track with Panda Bear?

5/16/2013 9:48:13 PM

^perfect collaboration. beat blends with noah lennox's standard delivery. could easily fit on a panda bear album.

5/16/2013 11:13:53 PM

okay Daft Punk... i really am enjoying what you've done here.

5/21/2013 11:35:43 AM

I am one of the biggest (ha ha fuckers) Daft Punk fans in the world so I am biased, but holy shit the new album is good. "Giorgio by Moroder" is just amazing.

5/21/2013 12:03:58 PM

I've been more impressed with Vampire Weekend's Ya Hey than anything else.

5/21/2013 12:09:04 PM

And "Touch" as well. I really like phantom of the paradise so I was wondering what the hell it would sound like.

I've been listening to RAM nonstop for the last week and I'm still not even close to being tired of it. Album of the year for me, without a doubt

Instant Crush, Get Lucky, Lose Yourself to Dance, Giorgio by Moroder are all epic songs, there really is only a track or two on the album that I dont care for (Motherboard and Contact)

5/21/2013 12:46:21 PM

I hear lots of people saying they really like RAM, but no one's coming in to buy the stacks of Stargaard and Jean-Luc Ponty records that sound just like it. Come on!

fan made video, awesome

5/21/2013 12:51:46 PM

^^ I wouldn't consider either of those just like it. Similar of course, and obviously influenced RAM (or similar artists did), but not the same.

5/21/2013 12:59:15 PM

he's a Smashing Pumpkins fan

cut him some slack

5/21/2013 1:01:19 PM

^ Way better than anything I could've replied with.

5/21/2013 1:10:57 PM

Got my copy of the vinyls in the mail yesterday. The sticker on the front says "including Get Lucky and Lose Yourself To Dance", so I guess both singles are going to be pharrel songs.

Brooks Wood, who some of you may be familiar with from his time at State, just released a new album. Its pretty good and definitely worth a listen.

5/21/2013 1:22:01 PM

^^^ I thought he was talking about you

5/21/2013 1:51:23 PM

He was. I'm saying that defense was better than anything I could've come up with.

Someone needs to codify the vest-wearing bands.

5/21/2013 2:22:14 PM

"peace of mind" from that Mikal Cronin album is a great fucking song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkNZ63FW_nA

that album, stylistically, is all over the place and I'm loving it

it's been a good year so far with that one, Daft Punk, The National and VW

5/22/2013 8:18:16 PM

how the hell do I hear the Vampire Weekend album online? Its not on spotify anywhere dammit

5/23/2013 10:48:43 AM

has the Classixx album been talked about in here yet? really good. probably the best dance album I've heard in a while. at least until that Disclosure album comes out.

5/23/2013 12:17:46 PM

^^ Just buy it. I'm not even big on VW and I think it's pretty damn good.

5/23/2013 2:38:36 PM

not sure about this savages album

to me it sound like a sleater-kinney b-sides compilation to me

5/23/2013 7:39:51 PM

^people love describing it as such apparently

Quote :

"Listened to that Savages record. Not a fan. Super '80s and sounds like bad Siouxsie b-sides. "

5/23/2013 7:46:53 PM

2 and a half weeks of waiting left, and at least there's finally something other than shitty uploaded cell phone videos to go by.

5/23/2013 7:52:58 PM

Too bad S-K b-sides are way better than Savages. "Off With Your Head" FTW.

good shit, thanks

5/24/2013 9:00:50 AM

^yeah this is some good stuff. keeping me upbeat on this friday

5/24/2013 10:03:32 AM

^^^ Def a fan. I've listened to Golden Haze about 10 times this week.

5/24/2013 11:10:09 AM

^^^^I find that Michelle Williams monologue in "Paradise" pretty annoying

5/24/2013 8:45:27 PM

oh god the new Pharmakon is nice

5/25/2013 2:58:51 AM

I really like Wampire.

5/27/2013 6:08:52 PM

^^^yeah I prefer the album version

5/27/2013 6:46:46 PM

^^have only heard "the hearse" and really dug it. that album cover is horrendous though.
