    I hope so. I thought it was midnight LAST night. Must've refreshed 30 times between the hours of 10p and 2a AZ time.

    Sounds like it's actually dropping friday.

    Whoever's marketing this album needs a raise.

    Haha. Just the fact that the actual lyric is not *something-something GET FUNKY" improves the outlook for this album tremendously in my book.

    I hear it as: "we're up all night to get funky"

    BTW have you guys heard this mashup of their 1st commercia w/ JT's Suit and Tie?
    https://soundcloud.com/hoodinternet/the-hood-internet-suit-and

    Yes, and to go with what I just posted above, here's exactly what I had to say about that on FB yesterday:

    "You know what's crazy about this? Daft Punk released that short snippet on SNL. Before they even released the longer snippet with Pharrell, people had made their own remixes using the short snippet that was being played in clubs! (Well, speaking for myself, of course. I rocked the hell out of that Hood Internet "Suit & Tie" remix.)"

    I wonder if that was anticipated at all? I mean, it could've potentially backfired on 'em, right? What if a remix was so good that it overshadowed the original before the original even had a chance to shine?? Or if a remix with that loop got so much play that people just tired of that main loop?

    I was thinking the same thing. As DJ's they have to know the power of a sample. Its also a little balsy for the reasons your describe but also cause people could just not pay attention. I'm inclined to believe they had some idea, but threw caution to the wind. I respect that though, they believe in their music.

    i agree, the rollout on this has been a lesson in advertising a album in the 00's.

    so true. when was the last time there was this much buzz around a new album? and i haven't seen a single paid ad (i guess there was one on SNL saturday?). i'm seeing this strictly through social media / blogs / word of mouth a.k.a. the advertising of the 2010s...

    Looking forward to the album, but not buying the "Daft Punk = Wyld Stallyns" thang.

    I'll cop, doe.

    Although I guess this could be a fake too. I don't know what to believe any more.

    The 'Get Lucky' trailer features Pharrell and Nile Rodgers and was aired before Yeah Yeah Yeahs came onstage.

    It features the French robots on drums and bass with Pharrell on vocal duties and Rodgers on guitar. It's an expansion of the snippet of music used on the band's website since the start of the campaign promoting their new 'Random Access Memories' album and is the longest amount of audio they've given away so far.

    Pharrell looks to be on fine vocal form, providing a super smooth performance ending in the refrain "we're up all night to get lucky" ??? it's so infectious that it's likely to be the hook that soundtracks the summer.

    The video also confirms the list of collaborators that was leaked last week and comes days after it was revealed that the band would premiere the album in the tiny Australian town of Wee Waa.

    Too bad, I actually liked the 'Mexican monkey' idea better. Although waking up a monkey of any nationality could be a dangerous endeavor.

    They do not like the element of surprise. For real.

    I believe I have shared my uncle's tale of what happened when a naked soldier cornered a monkey that he found stealing his tobacco during the Korean war.

    One of them ended up running off with the other one's testicles in his hand.

    It wasn't the soldier.

    Ever since I read it on here all I can hear is 'woke up a Mexican monkey' so that's what's real to me.

    Here. This should keep you busy for the next 10 hours and 2 seconds.

    For Random Access Memories, they hired "top-notch session players," says Guy-Manuel, with credits on classic records by Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, and Eric Clapton.

    really curious now who the session players are besides the big-name guests....

    Real or fake? Live or Memorex?

    I'll chime in as well re this -- I haven't been legitimately excited for an LP in god knows how long. The way they're doing it too - lifting the curtain so slowly, it just feels like an event - like I'd actually get into a car and go purchase physical product on this. The Nile interview was the best of the four, definitely -- although hearing that they were really in a Doobie Bros state of mind whilst in production in the Todd Edwards interview definitely put a smile on my face.

    LIKE THE LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX????

    did amerie write these lyrics?

    Who cares about the lyrics?

    What I find interesting about it is how US-oriented this campaign's been - the SNL teaser ads, the clip at Coachella, doing their only press with Rolling Stone. With a globally successful act like Daft Punk, you'd expect the promo to have an international focus, especially for a non-Anglo act. Yet they're really going to town on making sure America's talking about them more than anywhere else. I think they've been heading this way for a minute, after parting company with their o.g. Pedro Winter and bringing in US management a few years back. But it's as if they've studied where they've had the biggest impact over the last few years, and thought to themselves; "if we can lock down the US right away with this record, the rest of the world will be a piece of cake. And if we happen to make an amazing record as well..." Then again, they've always been shameless Yankophiles - of all the artists namechecked on Teachers, only five aren't Americans - so maybe this is going to be yet another love-letter to American pop forms.

    I also have a theory that this is part of a surreptitious, irony-free plan to rehabilitate disco in the eyes of the mainstream US public, and if they can pull *that* off...

  • SIRUSSIRUS 2,554 Posts
    hey, if they can bring back irony free disco than they get lifetime passes in my book. they already do for having nile do his thing on three songs (should have been five, and one of them should have been a slow jam.)
