"#2 THE HELMETS ARE COMING
The biggest secret, according our man in Wee Waa, is that Sony will distribute hundreds of Daft Punk helmets around town in the coming weeks with the aim to get locals taking snaps that will be used as part of the streamed launch – that means farmers, truckies and so on at work with Daft Punk headgear on. As Jim reports: “No sign of helmets from Sony yet, but I’m guessing that will happen closer to the date.”


Holy poo poo it will be like Electroma 2! That's brilliant.

So far i've counted LA's two top 40 stations, prominent hip-hop station and its second place rival, the all spanish-language american music top 40, The prominent independent music and NPR station, and both-alt rock.

I'm desperately waiting for the time when I can mash on any preset at any time and hear it. Full daft punk singularity.

I'm kinda sad I haven't picked up this on the radio here in Norway yet. Even though the song is on the top 10 straming lists and what not. I guess my problem is that I usually only listen to radio for 15 minutes when I'm in the shower in the morning and that's about 2 songs.

p3 played it 3 times the morning after it got released, but seems like it hasn't been a, b or c listed because Mats Borch Bugge is a moron. Christine probably plays it late evenings though.

Interesting. I have to try to catch some more of her radio shows. Saw her live last year, girl got skills. And a good taste when it comes to music.

Eventually, I guess I could try to branch out and listen to NRJ or Radio 1 or something too, instead of being locked at P3 and P4.

Edit: On another note, I just asked my cousin in Melbourne (who caught the Alive 2007 show there) if she'll be taking the 12 hour drive to Wee Waa, but apparently she'll be in Japan so I'm trying to get her to bring back a Japanese copy of Random Access Memories for me. :drat:

It sounds like it could be a b-side from The xx. While it's not bad, I guess, I don't think it's particularly good either. The spirit of the original seems completely lost here.

Totally agreed. Man, Chilly's is probably the most interesting, most exciting Collaborators video. This is getting me so hyped.

Elaborate?

Some of the intro parts to new segments come in rather quietly and without emphasis, but that's my only real gripe. Remember, too, that he's modeling this recreation off of the Coachella show. If you're familiar with the Paris show as per the Alive 2007 CD or any of the other ones, there will be differences.

Edit: Wait, Boys Noize produced a Chilly Gonzalez album? :what:

Wow I got a major music nerd boner when he started in on the chord progression talk. That's awesome that it sounds like they're trying to create a cohesive musical throughline in this album. I always like albums that aspire to be more than just a playlist of individual songs.

I really like his insight on the album, it really looks like we're going to have to take 50-75 minutes and sit down with a good pair of headphones and listen to the album as a single piece. I am absolutely okay with this.

A dazzling simile
Twinkling like the night sky
I've pretty much never been hyped for a new album. I've just sort of kept an eye on releases and picked up anything that caught my eye. But this album. I'm more hyped for it than I was for Diablo 3 and I was pretty loving hyped for that. I think I might actually buy the album in physical form for the first time in almost 10 years.
