Throwback Thursday: Daft Punk, "One More Time" & "Too Long"

It's Daft Punk week.  Deal with it.  And because it's Daft Punk week, both of our Throwback Thursday tracks are from the dynamic duo of electro. The first one is "One More Time", the track off of Discovery that set the world on fire way back in late 2000.  Peep the vid below.

Lose Yourself To Dance: Daft Punk, Random Access Memories Review

           I'm warning you that this is about to be a very long review that's more for me than for anyone reading.  With that being said, let's begin.  I've been a fan of Daft Punk since I was 11, I'm 22 now.  I know a lot of people claim to have liked a band or an artist for a while and blah blah but I'm not kidding.  I remember my little brother Dylan (the oh-so-infrequent other contributor to this blog) and I would stay up late on weekends and wait until Toonami aired it's semi-recurring block where they'd show animated music videos from bands like the Gorillaz, Linkin Park and, of course, the aforementioned Daft Punk.  Shown in a string like one long music video, "One More Time", "Aerodynamic", "Digital Love"(oh Digital Love.), and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" would all play back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
 Me and him would watch those videos in awe, almost as if we were in love with the music itself.  And the fact is we were.  Fast forward to December of that year (2001), and I found out that our class had to go on a week long field trip to Camp Cappe (some Catholic elementary school stuff, I don't know).  I would be away from home at some miserable, cold camp for my birthday.  Still such a mama's boy at the time I was bummed to say the least.  But my mother, being the wonderful mom she is (Happy late Mother's Day Mom!), somehow knew how much I loved that French electronic duo and gave me, as an early birthday present, what I consider the greatest album to ever grace my ears in Discovery (Oh and she gave me an all black discman too, yes those were hot in the streets back then kiddies).  I say "greatest" because no album has withstood the test of time for me like that album, which I still listen to like it's brand new sometimes.  Not Kanye, or Eminem, or anybody.  So with that intro let's jump to 2013, shall we?

Daft Punk feat. Pharrell & Nile Rodgers, "Get Lucky"

Need I even say anything? The electronic gods have officially graced us with their presence yet again. Just press play, and listen to one of the smoothest tracks you'll hear all year.  The much anticipated Random Access Memories is due stateside on May 21, but for now let's all enjoy the old-school feel.

Chief Keef and Kanye Are in the Studio Together

The two Chicago natives are linking up again, this time in Paris, to work on West's sixth solo album.  It was already reported that Daft Punk and West were each contributing to each other's album and now we can count on Keef and his talented producer Young Chop to continue to bring fire to the flames.

Daft Punk Previews New Song

Electronic powerhouse Daft Punk have teased us with another preview of their first single from their upcoming album: Random Access Memories. Not really needing an introduction, the duo has teamed up with Pharrell and Nile Rodgers (no, Rick James has not risen from the dead) for the album's first single titled "Get Lucky".  The anticipation has never been higher, but we'll all have to wait until May 17th for the official release.  For now just enjoy the snippet.
