Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

do we officially know that it's called "Get Lucky"? could possibly just be "Lucky"

much as i do like pharell on it, i could happily sit here listening to those last 42 seconds on endless repeat until delerium takes me. or at least like fifteen minutes.

this album is going to suck

...YOUR MIND

Ha, they should release this movie exclusively in IMAX 3-D, and make people pay $15 and wear glasses in the theatre every time they want to watch/hear it.

1:30 long poor approximation of a carl carlton track (featuring shiny robots) has not changed my mind

stunned by this, best album of 2013

glad to see some things haven't changed while i've been away

Jesus H., Daft Punk is still number one trending this morning.

(On Twitter, obv., but here too, so.)

poor approximation of carl carlton > poor approximation of nurse with wound

r.i.p. daft punk; when you try to approximate carl carlton, you best bring your a-game

Get Lucky sounds like a summer anthem for sure — — — — those hi-hats when the vocoder comes in?! Dayum!

When all this album talk started bubbling up, and when the SNL appeared with the snippet of music, I was all WAH WHY THE LONG WAIT but now I think scheduling the release for the latter part of May is ideal. I wanna kick off my summer with this thing.

SNL *ad

I think they're being savvy about building up hype enough to ensure big first week sales.

They sort of feel like the biggest band in the world right now. I know they aren't, but maybe they should be.

when I heard the bit of this lucky song on the advert a while ago with the vocoder bit I thought he was singing funky and now it becomes clear he's singing lucky and I am not buying this record

the snippet of the video with pharrell and nile is refreshingly atypical of 2013 music video look/feel

otm

also no anime thank god (worse thing they ever did, 100x worse than tron)

Nile listening to the track on hps is pretty genius. The whole campaign seems scripted like clockwork. Can't wait to see how it progresses from now on

there is something about the unexpected shot of pharrell, centre-stage, smiling, that reminds me of the crash zoom into leonardo dicaprio's face in the django unchanged trailer. it works out really well though. he flexes into the shape of disco vocalist very smoothly.

so the album cut of this is gonna be 6 minutes long; I can dig it.

8- Nile Rodgers (Guitar), Pharrell Williams (Vocals) - 6:07

is the vocoder being modulated by Pharrell's voice *and* Nile's guitar?

what is this i'm feeling
if you want, believe i'm ready (?)
ahhh-ahhh
we've come too far
to give up who we are
so dance, raise the bar (?)
and our cups
to the stars
she's up all night till the sun
i'm up all night to get some
she's up all night for good fun
i'm up all night to get lucky
we're up all night till the sun
we're up all night to get some
we're up all night for good fun
we're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky

kinda weak but i don't hate it

the chorus is vmic for Daft Punk

The way he sings the "we've come too far" bit is amazing.

I can't stop listening to this clip, it's amazing.

ugh ugh ugh so good

The album's move away from computerized sounds reflects Daft Punk's "ambivalence" about the EDM craze they helped to inspire.

no idea the veracity of that

i love that there's already a backlash

Ronan, I am the Gerard hassling u on twitter btw, tbh and iirc

backlash? if only ...

nice clip, this will be good. for those in a daft punk mood who don't know, there is a movie on the pirate bay https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8346219/Daft_Punk_-_Alive_2007_by_Jarodc
"Live concert of Daft Punk at Bercy for the tour Alive 2007"
it is entirely made of clips filmed by the crowd's handheld devices. it sounds good, looks a bit worse than the concept on paper but i liked it. one great bit: at one point, part of the crowd were making pyramid signs with both hands in the air.

They sort of feel like the biggest band in the world right now. I know they aren't, but maybe they should be.

Everything's lined up almost too perfectly... This could very well be the case within a few months.

FWIW. I mean, for all I know Skrillex is the biggest band in the world, but I don't know what the even means anymore. I guess it can be gauged by how many people it can attract to a live show?

I think the hype is hilarious but in all seriousness I hope for the best and they'll obv make a better "current biggest band" than Mumford and sons.

Cival-war-wave is the 80's metal to Random Access Memories' Nevermind. lol

consumptioncore

i hope they really go with the poor carl carlton approximation thing tbh

i think the second line pharrell sings isn't "if you want, believe i'm ready" but "IF YOU WANNA LEAVE, I'M WIT' IT"

On the real tho, turning the practice of staying out all night in the hopes of getting laid on its ear and making it sound elegant instead of desperate it a pretty spectacular achievement.

like watching the end of a party through smoke a waterfall
