Music is linear, people travel either forward or backward. Daft Punk traveled so far and so quickly ahead that they passed everyone and had to idle by the side of the road for 20 years, waiting for people to catch up. (Or did they travel so far backward they appeared to be traveling forward? Metaphor needs work.)
“It’s like we’re running on a highway going the opposite direction to everybody else.”
“I think we have a little bit of that edge, me and Thomas, these past 20 years. “
“Electronic music right now is in its comfort zone and it’s not moving one inch.”
Then Daft Punk decided music was not a linear thing.
“The Seventies and the Eighties are the tastiest era for us.”
Access to technology is a good thing, but it’s made it too easy for everyone to make music.
So thank god that there’s still the luxuries of money and time.
“There are songs on the album that traveled into five studios over two and a half years.”
Daft Punk have been hot-boxing their own shit for the last 20 years, and today they’re here to exclusively tell everyone that they love the smell of it.
DAFT PUNK GAP AD (2001)
From Gap to Saint Laurent. The latter helps your we are le superhomme! mystique a lot more than denim tuxedos though.
The New York band’s third album isn’t exactly lively, but it’s definitely undead.

Nearly all the cool food journals are made in Brooklyn. Do people even eat in other parts of the country?
I built a randomly-generated Lil B poetry Tumblr bot. Here’s how it works: once a day, a Python script scrapes Lil B lyrics from just under 300 pages on a certain rap lyrics website, selects five lines from those lyrics at random which contain the word “based” and uses them to craft a poem, which is then posted to this account via the Tumblr API. So, basically, follow this account if you want to see a machine-generated #based poem on your Dashboard once a day. If you want to know more, peep the code over on on GitHub. Just in time to miss national poetry month by two days!
