Doin' It Right

This album is what I need. For one, its release gives me hope that Daft Punk will come back to The United States at some point. When I discovered them about 6 years ago (late, I know), they were doing their final appearance in The States. Of course, with me being in a freshman in college in Michigan and the concert happening in Las Vegas, I did not go. Now, there is a sliver of hope that they will be back. I do hope it happens.

In the 60s I wasn't a thought. In the 70s and early 80s, I was a hope and dream, maybe. This new Daft Punk album is taking me back in time to groovy days and phone parties. Or at least, that's what I imagine was the case back then.

The music on this project is a fun reminder of the past, hence "Random Access Memories." It does not forsake today's connotations of "dance music," as there are plenty of electronic manipulations of instruments, voices, and effects. It does however possess a decided mood of what dance music was circa the 60s and 70s. It's smooth, organic, and beautiful. You can dance, take a ride, lay out on a beach somewhere... It makes so much sense.

The whole album is my favorite. But here is one called Touch and their latest single Get Lucky.

Get it now.

Touch feat Paul Williams

Get Lucky feat. Pharell Williams*

*He's producing the soundtrack to the sequel of Despicable Me 2. Can't wait to hear it. If you haven't seen the first movie or heard the soundtrack to it, it's worth it.
