Accidentally made these posts in the wrong thread so I'm moving them over here. -------------------------------------------- Most of the really elaborate productions we've seen going around since the pyramid are really just variations on the pyramid: the Shpongletron, the Mau5 Cube, that crazy fuckin' thing Amon Tobin is putting together. Until someone figures out how to do something that approximates THIS then I imagine that anything we see from Daft Punk will be fundamentally the same as what they did five years ago. Not that that's a bad thing, but right now I can't see how it's even possible to really raise the bar.

Hmm. HOWEVER. That Scott Pilgrim shit is actually pretty similar to what Disney has been doing for years with their Fantasmic! production at Disneyland. And those French robots have been spending quite a lot of time with the Mouse lately...

This is possibly the most untrue statement on this board. Actually, it's a true statement, because it's true to me, and if it's true to me, then it's a true statement, not an untrue statement.

Yuh huh thought so.
Anyway, it doesn't have to be monsters. It could be just about anything. A couple smoke/mist machines and a cleverly concealed projector...

I keep reading comments about Daft Punk at Coachella. Is there some actual truth to this, or mainly just wishful thinking?

This guy who writes a Portland music blog told me last night that he "guarantees" Daft Punk will be at Coachella. But that was the same guy who guaranteed that Animal Collective would be on the MFNW lineup. So yeah. Wishful thinking.

Well that's reason enough for me to jump on the wishful thinking bandwagon.
