Guys, obviously with the dolls out of the way they can start making ph4t b34ts again with a quickness.

you were just using that as an excuse to take a picture of that ASS!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Is that, in fact, an ass?

Leave Ken his dreams.

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 hadn't heard about this, thank you.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:05 (nineteen years ago) link

is this...TRUE???!!! no!!

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:12 (nineteen years ago) link

doubtful

oh bollocks

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.

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Buncha hataz!! :) Human, robot, dog, bacteria. Whatever. And only a very reasonalbe three months waiting period too!

― Omar (Omar), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 18:59 (nineteen years ago) link

omar! soulseek!! (i'd expect 1 month tops).

i'm off home 2 have a back2back DAFT CLUB/DISCOVERY fest.

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 19:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, SLSK is good for stuff like the new LCD Shitesystem. A new Daft Punk needs to be waited on till the official date of release and oldfashioned trip to the shop with "ah no, it still isn't in dude, maybe friday" style disappointments. Or is this just too 20th century? :(

― Omar (Omar), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 20:08 (nineteen years ago) link

tee hee "shite"

― STOP WITH YOUR PTANS (natepatrin), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 20:27 (nineteen years ago) link

the day Discovery came out i'd only heard the first two tracks and i didn't even buy it until lunchtime after swanning down to V-SHop in Turnham Green and hearing 'Crescendolls' and 'Superheroes' blasting out. will be quite a different 'first listening' experience this time i imagine.

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Daft Punk will be playing at my house.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

MY HOUSE!

― adam (adam), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 21:38 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm mildly annoyed at the LCD appropriation of Daft Punk. I suspect he doesn't really *get* them anyway.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Like, I bet he's talking about "Da Funk" and not "Digital Love".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually I'm all about "Short Circuit", chumply

― Jimmy "Booty Clap" Murphy (natepatrin), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:50 (nineteen years ago) link

That would make sense too. I'm still pretty confident that he'd consider much of their output and most house music in general, 'too gay'. It's the American disease.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Uh, not this American!

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:00 (nineteen years ago) link

How about asking him, Spence?

― STOP WITH YOUR PTANS (natepatrin), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

How about I don't really care, Nat?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, I'm kind of referencing that LCD thread which links to the WIRE interview (expanded, I think). Please note, I *really* like LCD Soundsystem, but I still think his use of their name is odd - I mean, he's hardly a Mongoloid.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:15 (nineteen years ago) link

that LCD track sucks anyway

am i wrong to think 'Humanoise' is a better title? (don't answer that)

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe Still Human After All These Years?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:25 (nineteen years ago) link

In League With The Humans

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:08 (nineteen years ago) link

How about I don't really care, Nat?

if you care enough to speculate about it on a public forum, it's not that difficult a leap to make, y'know.

what is this about the Avalanches? details pls!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sorry, when did it become a rule that we had to decisively determine an author's conscious intentions when speaking about what may be revealed by their work??!!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sorry, but who put the shovel up your ass?

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:40 (nineteen years ago) link

anyway, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT THE AVALANCHES? c'mon Spencer, if anyone knows this it's gotta be you.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm serious. I think it's fully within reason to speculate on Murphy's views on dance music without actually asking him. I don't think that's a revolutionary concept. Also, what's with the "shovel up your ass" bit?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:42 (nineteen years ago) link
