hopefully finishing the album will free up time for mr. de homem-christo to bombard us with le knight club 12s.

i wonder if they listen to RATATAT??

HERETIC DIE DIE DIE

(that was actually an Emo Philips quote meant as a joke.. but still.. the idea of Daft Punk emulating those 'tards... sigh)

― donut christ (donut), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:52 (nineteen years ago) link

ts: gallic dance guitars vs gallo-alike NY tards

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Sounds pretty good to me! And rather better than RATATAT. ;-)

Sorta reminds of an ECC track gone full-on dance instead of being art-project.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Hahahaha I love this. I've just heard it 5 times in a row!

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

well, "Robot Rock" doesn't have that vapid proggy feel that all those Ratatat songs seemed to have.. live at least. And I'd assume Daft Punk doesn't hit blinding floor lights 10 times a song and do "rock out faces" live.

― donut christ (donut), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Of course they don't do rock out faces, they're ROBOTS!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:58 (nineteen years ago) link

lol

and xpost
lol

ratatat are so lame.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 20 January 2005 23:59 (nineteen years ago) link

hahaha i didn't like RATATAT until i saw them on that tour!

but seriously the parisian underground is sort of dominated right now by, um, let's call it the "gooom disques" sound, and i know ratatat is really popular with that crowd, and daft punk aren't auteurs working in a vacuum, and so...

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 21 January 2005 00:00 (nineteen years ago) link

i guess compared to "aerodynamic" this is a step away from that sound ... hey, i'll bet RATATAT are into daft punk!!

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 21 January 2005 00:02 (nineteen years ago) link

There is absolutely nothing about "Robot Rock" that reminds me of Ratatat, now RATT is another story!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 January 2005 00:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't stop playing this song! ROCK! ROBOT ROCK!!! Aargh!

― JoB (JoB), Friday, 21 January 2005 00:45 (nineteen years ago) link

After one listen I was humming it to myself all the way back home on the bus. A GOOD SIGN.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 January 2005 00:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Doing the lead single as something similarly inclined to "One More Time" would have been a wrong move, I think. This is more, how you say if you are 808 State, inyerface.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 January 2005 00:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah it's great but I definitely think its been chosen as an unexpected lead-in to the album. It sounds like a number 3 track (not a bad thing - "Digital Love" is a number 3 track!). Much more continuity with the Discovery sound than I was expecting; I don't think any of us would have batted an eyelid had it been on that album (again, not a bad thing!).

Someone make the CafePress shirts. (Alternately, put an ILXor.com in there in that font.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 January 2005 01:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm quite upset they didn't go for my front cover draft above. I thought mine was far more passionate and cut to the bone regarding the album title.

― donut christ (donut), Friday, 21 January 2005 01:10 (nineteen years ago) link

YOU THINK YOU ARE SO ROCK. I unleash the fury fucking on thee. Maybe.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 January 2005 01:12 (nineteen years ago) link

"ROCK"

*squelchy synth funk*

"I'M
SO
ROCK"

the cover of the single is nice

i'm going to place this 'robot rock' at my grandmothers funeral.

Needs one of those covers that changes depening on which angle you look at it, so that when you tilt it the two robots burst through the screen like Angus is doing.

― haitch™ (haitch), Friday, 21 January 2005 02:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Lenticular images, they're called. Good point. Personally I'd settle for Angus himself bursting through the Daft Punk logo.

So long as that nasty staticky hiss isn't present on the actual CD, "Robot Rock" is pretty damn promising...

― telephonething, Friday, 21 January 2005 07:39 (nineteen years ago) link

love the handclaps

― adam west (adamwest), Friday, 21 January 2005 08:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Argh I'm not going to be able to listen to this for another EIGHT HOURS!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 21 January 2005 09:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Still sounds good right now! Best heavy metal single of the year so far.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 January 2005 15:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I knew they wouldn't let me down.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 21 January 2005 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually this is fucking awesome. Best 'dance act go rock' tune I've heard since Orbital's Satan. In fact its better than that.

The Prodigy circa 1997 were never this good. I think what stands this above all other similar tracks is that when most other dance acts bring in the guitars they try and rock out but fundamentally miss the point of rock. Daft Punk hit the nail right on the head. One big stupid insanely catchy riff and everything else takes care of itself.

If people don't go mental when this follows AC/DC tonight then I have lost all faith in our youth.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 21 January 2005 19:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't wait to dance to this in a club. I almost took my CD-R out of my car to give to a DJ last night, but I got sidetracked.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 January 2005 19:30 (nineteen years ago) link

I predict Stevem's brian exploding as 17,000 mashup ideas all pop into his head at once.

It was my DJ pal's birthday yesterday, he was SUPER crushed that I didn't have any blank CDs to burn it. He'll get his tonight, no doubt.

i wish i had this in my pocket last night when i went out to a friends club SO BAD IT STINGS.

Ouch!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

All this amazing new music is making me quite ecstatic. I'm over-posting today.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I was thinking about this myself. 2005 seems to have hit the ground running on that front.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 January 2005 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

you are all stupid cunts

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 22 January 2005 01:14 (nineteen years ago) link
