  1. yeah. empty is my fav actually. this is quickly becoming best of '13. so far (sorry exai.... :| ) lol not really exai destroyed me but yeah
  2. I fucking hate the "its just good music" argument. SOOOOO BORING. Half the fun of music like this is that it exists within a collective cultural consciousness, filled with samples, retro styles, and references. Daft Punk aren't pushing the limits of electronic music and sound design like Ae, nor are they stylizing themselves as loner bedroom geniuses like AFX. The music itself is cultural criticism just waiting to be explored. Daft Punk is so much more than just fun great tunes. They're smarter than that and frankly its insulting to minimize their intentions and impact to a "good tunes, simple as that" mentality.
  3. daft punk are a really interesting group to me. it took ten years and two parisians to make chicago house commercially successful. What did they do to pull that off? how did they distill acid house into da funk... it's not that different from washing machine or something... but it just caught on. Same thing with discovery... make us listen to a dance style that is constantly derided as vapid shit but "update" it so it's not obvious or pathetic throwback... clever guys.
  4. cmyk is pretty classic uwe. music is better than pussy is a good album too. lol i kinda forgot i how much i fucking love him. pop hd has been in my head all month
  5. I'll watch this as well. looks good according to the reviews there and I have very little doubt that I'll end up watching all of it. yeah i know about 4 or 5 girls who could fit into each one of the main characters. It's horrifying. The supporting cast too. Definitely friends with gay men exactly like elijah. And hannah having academic parents who teach at a big midwest state school... and wow 70% of that show is directly my life. And it's not exaggerated. Those people exist and live in greenpoint and they all went to oberlin or wesleyan or bard (shudder) shockingly well observed and portrayed. season 2 is good too. has a couple stinker episodes but overall very well done... and very very sad.
  6. lol totally. we all know they're good enough producers to pull off another barry manilow with vocoders and have us not get bored
  7. this album can be described in three words. deadpan german antics.
  8. i have this but i've never really been that into it... too muddy for me tbh. I mean I know that's the point of the mix, but... i dunno i prefer the clean mixing of studio 1
  9. at least other shows about other things I can't relate to, series about British aristocrats or Italian-American mobs, or zombies, substantive things happen to characters you give at least somewhat give a shit about I didn't hate the one episode Girls I caught part of but just the general premise kind of miffs me meh i both love and am confounded by why WATMM has zero ability to understand Girls.
  10. maybe i'm just being silly, but it's not wrong to think that the big OOOOOOOHHHHHMMMMMMMMM in Strom is the mangled sample from ohm sweet ohm? if not a sample well then obviously a nod. lol pop music obviously starts with kraftwerk for uwe this is a great cd, something i've been looking for recently, amazed by the lack of interest in pop by talented producers
  11. ahahaha i can see that! pretty lady on right is the going concern atm, things developing nicely i have to admit
  12. leo anibaldi's release is really really really good
  13. didn't you just tell me it's KW on only one track?
  14. as if eboue thought he could pick up on north korean tactics is just.... lol but that nod. "yep, got it boss thnx"
  15. srry just doesn't get much better than this oldie
  16. title track is, couple other elements. I wasn't really complaining... that formula obviously works, and I think at this point it's understood uwe is absolutely obsessed with the kw totale ästhetisch Qualität
  17. i love u made me want to die initially but something bout it made me think i'd warm to it? hmm maybe not. ok never mind.
  18. lol this is so kraftwerk by numbers it's almost offensive
