I would like to say I don't like BJ all that much, I like DP a lot, and Junior Boys better than both, that is all!

well it's not pure pop, what i am saying is it's this amazing convergence of pure pop philosophy and something else...blowing people's minds with fucked up sounds that demand dancefloor response basically

I need to hear this Junior Boys, though like with cult hit movies I'm almost afraid to.

I REALLY need to hear Big & Rich.

i don't think toxic and aerodynamic are playing the same game, CeCe (though i think they're both winning). and DP's 'two nerds' status (i'm not sure however that this is quite how they're perceived) has prob done them more damage than good in the eyes of (non-euro?) critics, considering how common yr complaint about the 'joy-crushing layers of postmodern irony' was in so many discovery reviews, as ENRQ said somewhere way upthread. (ffwd to 2004 and marcello and richard x etc...)

Daft Punk would like to announce no new music, but some figurines to go with that cartoon from last year. There you have it.

DAFT PUNK
I am all out of the loop but I was sent this today and maybe it is TRUE, maybe (if already widely-circulated news I apologise a bit)

Daft Punk to release 3rd studio album "Human After All" on March 21, 2005
through Labels / Virgin / EMI.

Daft Punk will release their first new studio album in four years on March
21, 2005 on Labels/ Virgin / EMI worldwide. Entitled "Human After All",
this is their third studio album to date and the follow-up to 2001's "Discovery".
Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo recorded the ten tracks of
the new album in just six weeks between September and November 2004, in
their home studio in Paris.
The French electronic music duo came to worldwide attention in 1997, with
the release of their debut album ''Homework'', a huge critical and
commercial worldwide hit whose impact on the dance music industry was
revolutionary. In 2001, they released their second album, "Discovery", which
also became a global success and again broke ground musically and visually,
through the use of Japanese anime imagery and the portraying of the band as
robots.
As ever, the music is diverse and fresh whilst retaining their trademark
Daft Punk sound, this time with a more spontaneous and direct quality to the
recording. A mix of guitars and machines, "Human After All" takes us from
the hardcore ''Brainwasher'' to the pumping "Technologic'', with the
addition of rockier tracks such as "Robot Rock" and emotional moments such
as "Make Love".
Album Tracklisting in Full :
DAFT PUNK "HUMAN AFTER ALL"
1. HUMAN AFTER ALL
2. THE PRIME TIME OF YOUR LIFE
3. ROBOT ROCK
4. STEAM MACHINE
5. MAKE LOVE
6. THE BRAINWASHER
7. ON/OFF
8. TELEVISION RULES THE NATION
9. TECHNOLOGIC
10. EMOTION

I feel deeply ambivalent about the idea of Daft Punk discovering they're human after all.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah don't think much of these titles, or the idea it was all done in six weeks (considering how long the refining process of Discovery supposedly was). but i'm reminded how somewhat disappointed i was when i first heard Discovery and maybe this will have a reverse effect. perversely i hoped it was a hoax! but i couldn't really think of better titles for any new material from them anyway.

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I am excited but you guys put a downer on it for me with your worry.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:03 (nineteen years ago) link

tis the season!

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:19 (nineteen years ago) link

echoed. i kind of hoped it was a hoax...what's up with the title?

i keep thinking of that GAP ad aswell.

so dp are back, the avalanches are back...
it's like waking up in 2001 again.

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:21 (nineteen years ago) link

DANCE IS BA-OW!

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 17:09 (nineteen years ago) link

wot tim f said.

i would've liked DP to stick to one word titles, it seems fitting.

one more thing...

THE AVALANCHES ARE BACK? why wasn't i informed??

― m. (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 17:19 (nineteen years ago) link

come on guys this is supposed to be good news!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 17:23 (nineteen years ago) link

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! The doubters' uppance will come!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 17:41 (nineteen years ago) link

has anyone seen it reported anywhere other than nme.com yet? it's not even on the Virgin Music site The Raft it seems.
