I’m not trying to be “Mr. Contrarian,” but Diplo’s “takedown” of the new Daft Punk is the first thing to get me seriously excited about listening to it. No, I haven’t yet streamed it yet, and not because I’m saving it for the fetishistic moment I “put my needle down on a virgin vinyl copy” or anything. I’ve always enjoyed Daft Punk passively and haven’t especially cared about “Random Access Memories.”

But Diplo’s tweets – “sounds like a coked up austrian guy working on chariots of fire soundtrack then got fired,” “makes me feel like I’m alone at waffle house and the jukebox is broken and only micheal mcdonald plays out of it,” and a link to a performance of Pete Drake’s gorgeous “Forever” – have got me actively excited to hear the record.

Read the whole thing at Uproxx and chill to the talking steel guitar of Pete Drake.
