'electroma'
daft punk
2007
excuse the trailer happy entries (weightier matters will be address in future posts), but i cannot stop watching the trailer for daft punk's feature film 'electroma'. it's haunting, hypnotic, and elusive--much like their image and music. i'm uncertain of plot details and to be honest i don't care. this looks like some weird wim wenders/david lynch/art project/film experiment and i'm totally into it. it debuted at cannes last year and has appeared at midnight screenings in paris, but there isn't a release date for the film in this country. let's all say a collective prayer that our eyes and senses will be able to experience this seemingly oddball but captivating work of art.
to hold us over, here are some of my favorite daft punk moments...
'around the world', dir. michel gondry
gap commercial feat. 'digital love' & juliette lewis, dir. paul hunter
pyramid light show/performance of 'da funk'
coachella music festival 2006
daft punk are touring this summer with the rapture no less (i'm getting sweaty just thinking about it), but naturally they are coming nowhere near the ohio river valley. i heard the coachella performance was akin to a religious experience and if only they would come a little closer than colorado and nyc. their videos are mind melting enough, but i think to truly experience their music seeing them live would be ideal.

the other day they were playing "digital love" in fossil, which seems like a complete mistake. it made me think of the evening star mostly, but also about that gap commercial.
