Daft Punk was on the Grammys!?!?!?

In case you missed it, and i can't imagine why you wouldn't have, Daft Punk was on the Grammys 5 minutes ago. Kanye West came onstage to perform "Stronger" in a light-up black "Sgt. Pepper" Jacket (a la Alive 2007 Encore), with the backdrop of a pyramid that looked like the "Alive 2007" CD cover. Midway through, the middle of the Pyramid dropped out, and our favorite Robots appeared outlined in their red light-piping jackets. The cameras showed the inside of the pyramid, with the duo playing around on 4 "Lemur" Controllers. To my knowledge, this is the first footage of Daft Punk actually playing their controllers in the Pyramid, and I just learned that this was the first live TV broadcast in DPs history. Way Cool. I had just been lamenting the loss of Daft Punk for the forseeable future, but maybe they won't be going too far after all.

Remix Thusday #8: The Yam Who? Edition, starring Kanye West and Pharell, Ski Oakenfull, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Rodney P, Joss Stone...

Yam Who? has been cranking out some of the slickest remixes I've heard in a while. My boy Rich pointed these guys out to me a short while ago, and i've not been able to get enough of them since. I wish I knew more about them (and i wish their asses would come DJ in New York already. If someone can make that happen, you'll be my personal hero. Anyways, here's a few of my favorite remixes of theirs.

Also, I'm sorry for being so slow putting things up recently. I've hit a little bit of a rut finding new music--guess the summer's over for reals, and the music world in NY is slowing down a bit. If any of you that have been reading this, and have a sense of my taste, send me some new shit!

In closing, i just wanted to add that I'm throwing a party in Williamsburg next friday night, on a great rooftop overlooking the East River. If you wanna come, send me an email, and I'll tell ya where it's at. I'm gonna DJ with a few friends, and it should be a swell time--we need to soak up these last few weeks of sunlight while we've still got 'em.

Have a great week.
