What makes a Good Friday good? Well, there's the usual combination of getting together with family and food and celebrating together. As always, the promise of coffee with Bailey's is on the horizon too. Daft Punk is also a good addition to usual traditions. Today's selection isn't off of Homework, which I bought about a month ago, but 2001's Discovery. I've been aware of "Something About Us" since I heard that wonderful Adele mashup it was incorporated into, but it took a while to make the leap for the original. Some risks are worth the reward.
"Something About Us" is a mellow love ditty with a futuristic spin. Forget the thumping electronic you're used to from Daft Punk, this one is pared-down and smoothed out. The electric guitar yawns, and the vocals paint a sad-yet-hopeful picture. I actually put this track on for about an hour last weekend and wrote a 500-word short story to the words and music. If an artist can inspire others, the job is done. Daft Punk's had it done for a while now.
