Human After All

So, sometime last year, Bitmonger bought a Daft Punk album: Homework. We've been nurturing an electronica kick for the last couple of years, and we'd somehow missed them. We decided we liked it.

Then, while in Norway, and starved for non-Norwegian/non-Simpsons/non-CSI entertainment... we you tubed Daft Punk's Discovery album.... which we now loooooooooove. I gave him the Interstellar 5555 DVD of it for Xmas.

So, we poked around and discovered that there is a more recent Daft Punk than either of those: Human After All. G said he'd listened to sound bytes via itunes, and wasn't certain of how good it was, but it's really hard to get a feel for electronica in 15 second increments, so we poked at the Amazon reviews, and they can be summed up with "Eh", and "Well, I liked it, but I also like Burnin and Scratchin'", which is from Homework and was the one song that we were "What the hell is this crap" about. So, we were like... eh. That sounds disappointing and we didn't worry about it.

But then, when we were in Michigan for Uncle Bob's funeral (and we had brought the Ipod, for listening on the plane, so we had some headphones, and we had a hour or two in the hotel by ourselves and were a little bored, so Garick cranked the volume up to 11, and we listened to some Daft Punk through the crappy headphone speakers, and when Burnin and Scratchin came on via the crappy headphone speakers, we were like ... oh. That's pretty good. I kinda like that. And then afterwards, even in the good speakers, we're like... oh yeah. huh. I can get behind this.

So, then we re-evaluated the Human After All quandaary. I mean, we love Daft Punk. And now, we even like the one song we weren't sure about.

But then we forgot to do anything about it, 'cause uh.. well, we've been busy.

Point being:
So, I happened to be in a best buy yesterday. And I was like... oooo I wanna get my G a prezzie.
And then I remembered that Best Buy actually does carry Daft Punk, so I checked and they had it.

So, we listened to it for the first last night.

Duuuude. It is so phat, yo. So... just. Hot.
Ohhh... the square waves.

So, in conclusion... we love the album.
