Human After All?



Working at a summer camp hasn't allowed me a great deal of time to write about or seek out much new music. However, last week my girlfriend and I got a couple days off to go to Montreal to see Daft Punk. I'd read all about it on the internet ever since Coachella 2006, but I can now fully support the hype and state that their live set is indeed mindblowing - both visually and sonically. Despite the fact that their set was essentially the same as the Coachella bootleg, nothing could stop the crowd from going bat shit crazy over two guys in robot costumes and an incredible light show. I don't think my words would do the creativity and synchronization of the lights and music any justice; that is something that must be witnessed. The red Tron suits for the encore were unreal.

The Rapture opened the show with a healthy collection of old and new, and according to the bill Kavinsky and SebastiAn were there but all I noticed was a mixtape of good tunes being played in between The Rapture and Daft Punk. We didn't make it to the 'official afterparty' but the show will be one to remember. Enjoy some blurry photos and a video, and check out this One More Time/Aerodynamic remix from Coachella (listen to the crowd as Aerodynamic's unmistakable guitar solo is mixed in):

That was a pretty sweet mix, I wasn't much paying attention to the track then all of a sudden it was like BAM Aerodynamic. Pretty sweet.
