daft punk feat julian casablancas - instant crush
hm... not sure about this one. considering the whole song is sung through a vocoder was it necessary for julian to be the vocalist on this one? just saying...

get ready to get your old school disco down cause daft punk are BACK! the duo haven't released studio material since 2005 (unless you count the 2011 tron score) and have decided to go back to basics by working with live instrumentation and a slew of collaborators including giorgio moroder, panda bear, julian casablancas (strokes) and the awesome nile rodgers and pharrell for their 1st single. it's on repeat and you should be doing the same!

HOT SOUNDTRACK: daft punk - derezzed (tron : legacy soundtrack)

daft punk - derezzed (tron : legacy soundtrack)
[probably one, if not the biggest, draw of the upcoming film 'tron: legacy' is the soundtrack to the film completely crafted by daft punk. sounding both orchestral and futuristic at the same time, the soundtrack is definitely one of the best of the year made better when you experience it with the film (make sure you go to a theater with serious surround sound). check out this teaser featuring the lovely olivia wilde!]

wongie live: grammy 2008 highlights

if you missed sunday's award ceremony, here are a few of the highlights from that evening (thanks to alis blog for the vids!):

beyonce and tina turner - intro / what's love got to do with it
[what a massively flambouyant introduction to the divas of music! it's a tad letdown when it all boils down to...tina turner.]


kanye west and daft punk - stronger
kanye west - dedication to mother
[two wonderful performances, one with added grooves thanks to daft punk, and the other a moving tribute to kanye's recently deceased mother]

amy winehouse - you know i'm no good / rehab
[a bizarre mix of upfrontery and total fear, this was one of the most raw performances of amy's i've ever seen. can't say i loved it, but when she hits those notes, i am all hers.]


alicia keys and john mayer - no one
[this was THE performance of the evening. with an arrangement that far outshines the original, this will easily go down in grammy history as one of it's best!]
