[incnic]

[Shum]

The hype machine shows few signs of slowing.

You know, looking on the bright side: enough of us bellyache about the unending commercialization of the EDMz... perhaps, though, the flip side of it is that the public has been starved for decent music and are attracted to electronic beats an' tingz because - as we know - it's one of if not the best general genre out there right now. And maybe they'll get so saturated with this candy-coated 4/4 pop electronic shit that there'll be a proper backlash and people will go back to adoring idiot muppets with guitars and stylists and we can go back to dancing...

#2: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (Daft Punk) – $60 million
#3: Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) - $60 million

These guys are rich enough to retire.

Photo: Daft Punk, Unmasked And Playing Champagne Beer Pong



With Daft Punk in town shooting some video (hopefully involving mom jeans) in midtown yesterday, we got into a discussion with coworkers about how no one has seen what the titular duo look like without their helmets on in over a decade. Electronic duo the Knocks coincidentally decided that yesterday was the perfect time to post a photo of them sans robotics. And of course—of course—they're playing "champagne beer pong," the sport of Mariah Carey.

As Gawker points out, The Knocks quickly realized their faux pas, and deleted the photo—they updated their status with: "GUESS WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO POST THAT PIC :X." While Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter basically look exactly how we always imagined (ie, slightly more rumpled Vincent Cassel), the "champagne beer pong" (which really is champagne pong, right?) is what kills us.

Then again, considering the fact that they are basically keeping their record label in business, Columbia should probably do whatever they can to appease the French artists—if that means they have to break out the fancy pink cookies, then so be it.

Champagne Pong: le sport de porcs bourgeois.

This album had no soul in it, meaningless funk shit. Funk drums and guitar + repeat + daft punk label = £££.
No hard hitting drums, no 4x4. Weak

I liked motherboard tho!

[Pedro Sánchez]

Yeh, I can't listen to it as a whole, I've tried but it really is soft as fuck, the mix of the tracks are fucking awful.

[Benji]

This album made me sad, I'd made a lovely cup of tea, rolled a nice jay and got in the zone to listen to it and it was shit

[kidshuffle]

still haven't heard it, dont plan on it tbh

[wolf89]

I don't mind it as much as when I first heard it. few tracks I actually like quit a bit. most of it is still pretty lame though. second half being better. really some cheesy bits in the first few tracks especially (though some later too).

How are you guys managing to avoid hearing it? In the two weeks after it came out, I heard it being played in a restaurant, a clothes shop, a bar, my mate's 21st and on the radio in my girlfriend's car... Its fucking everywhere, you'd have to be living in a cave

[cloaked_up]
