The Gold and the Silver Dream (1971-1982) - A Tribute to Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories'

The Gold and the Silver Dream (1971-1982) - A Tribute to Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories':

towerofsleep:

nedraggett:

A tribute to Daft Punk’s wonderful ‘Random Access Memories,’ tracks inhabiting the same warm, wonderful universe of funky, melancholic robots skirting around the edges of the discotheque, alternately wondering what life’s about and deciding it’s all about forgetting to worry what it’s all about. Space disco, library funk, sophisticated rhythmic orchestrations, savvy art-rock, psych-poppers and proggers gone dancefloor, and a singer-songwriter or two—all meeting in those blissful sonic years 1971-1982 from which Daft Punk brewed their latest potions. Created for the Musicophilia blog, http://musicophilia.wordpress.com, mixed by Soundslike.

And that is why you should listen. Like, now.

This mix opens with an Amon Duul II prog-disco jam, so I am obviously in.

Bravo!

greatest moment in television history.

Nostalgia! @vanmega and I were just talking about this last night.

It’s true! We were talking about this human pile of garbage (Yeowch, calm down, rob) and how preposterous this whole rant is. As I’ve said before, if I were Tiffany (please suspend disbelief that I could be on a teenage girl modeling show), my response to Tyra would have been:

“Actually, we do know where the hell you come from! You have an extensive wikipedia page with 58 reference sources! You had a daytime TV talk show, which ran for 810 episodes… and on each of those hour long episodes you rambled on for great lengths about yourself and “where you came from”, so much so, that you’d usually cut off your guests sensationalized stories to one up them with tangential ramblings about yourself! We know where the hell you come from… so, please, for the warm memory of those four episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air where you were endearing, shut up.”

I’d them take a deep breath, smize, and say:

“Fuck this, and fuck you. I’m going to Law School”.

I have thought way too much about this over the years.

Man… That time back in Tk’s studio apartment on West 2nd circa 2003 - 2004 watching this show, that’s time I’ll never get back in my life. No regrets?

You should probably go listen to this right now. It’s out on Friday (they’re playing the Astoria for Music Waste) and you can pre-order it if you’re out of town.

Nice! As I’ve said before, that 90210 track is going on my year end list.

Oh man, someone should let this guy know that he’s so very, very, WRONG.

Worried that this guy lets Farmville (is that still a thing?) updates litter his feed, you know, out of courtesy to others (i.e. people he hasn’t seen since high school).

Juice - Full Movie

Ho-Lee-Shit! Someone posted the movie, Juice, in its entirety on YouTube. That’s gonna get flagged, right?

I mean, yeah, sure you can probably watch it on Netflix or borrow my copy on DVD or whatever… but this feels like stumbling on an amazing Easter egg.
