Daft Punk Relive the Magic
Thursday, January 18th, 2007
Relive the moment when Daft Punk made a triumphant return to our dimension. Urb magazine just graciously put up a video of Daft Punk’s entire one and half hour headlining set at Coachella. Starting from the opening Close Encounter of the Third Kind Arpeggio to the last vocoder exclaimation of Human After Allllllll. The greatest thing about this set is no one knew what to expect. Were they gonna come out in the robot costumes or not? Were they gonna have a flying guitar and drum kit? Was Romanthony gonna be there? They already have solidified their status as the coolest act ever; Daft Punk could have done anything and our simple human minds would have exploded. So they came out in a Pyramid. It made perfect sense. Why not! Easily the greatest light show seen to date. My theory is the Pyramid was actually a containment device to prevent Daft Punk from tearing our space-time continuum cus of how fuckin cool they are. If they were to release their Coachella Performance as an album it would be one of the Greatest Dance Records made. Daft Punk basically deconstructed all their songs and found a way to thread all their classic riffs, beats, and samples into a glorious continuos party. It brings a tear to my eye every time i listen to it.

Blip Festival Review
Sunday, December 10th, 2006
The Blip Festival astounded beyond my wildest expectations. A spectrum of all of NYC niches: Hipsters, Ravers, Trekkies, Dreadlocked White Dudes–just to name a few–all shared one thing in common and that is the love of the 8-bit sound.
Funny thing is the nation most well represented at the Chiptunes festival were the Swedes. Go Figure. Second comes the Japanese which kinda makes sense.
Anyways some of the highlights:
Random
Random was an 18 year old Swedish Kid who headline the Festival on Friday. Seriously it was just him with a Gameboy and a modified game catridge rockin out a enthusiastic crowd. It was quite a sight to behold a crowd of dancers spazzing out to videgame music like they were at a Warehouse Rave.
Hally

Next is one of the craziest guys I’ve ever seen. His name is Hally and he’s a legend in Japan. All I have to say is his set up consists of one mixer and Two Super Famicons. Yes that’s right he beat-matched Super Famicons.

The Performance Art Space that held the festival was a feature in itself. The Tank is located on a nondescript road in Wall St. The stage featured a Plastic LCD Pixel Panel from Element Lab that blew up 8-bit pixelated images with each 4″ plastic square on the grid representing a pixel. It’s amazing how images from our childhood like the Mario Coin box look so odd but familiar when blown up to such a gigantic size.
