N.E.R.D. did a Daft Punk-produced, completely hookless track on Letterman last night. That’s Chad Hugo playing the Korg and doing a Daft Punk homage behind Pharrell Williams. Their rider apparently asked for nine white girls with long hair and two minorities who could dance. Or, in Letterman’s words, “Oh my God”:

  1. and let the disconnect begin. I have increasingly felt isolated from the recent music world and this seals the deal. I loved NERD’s first album. I’ll be as straight forward with my thoughts as possible here. I feel like the majority of music that is getting recognition for the last 5 years has had little to no content as far as a political, social or spiritual message. I feel that how you look (80′s) is more important than how you sound for most bands these days. I feel nothing when I listen to most of the music talked about on this site and pitchfork. I am bored by it. Maybe it was turning 30, maybe I can’t let go of 1991-1996. Maybe this is where we all eventually end up as a new generation takes over the music scene. But I can’t help but lament the loss of new music that makes me feel in my heart and soul. Something that makes me stir and surge forward in life. So few now. Thanks for reading this mildly intoxicated fools thoughts at 1 AM.

  2. Sounds like PW is singing over the vocal track – check it at 2:42 mark….

  3. So you can say “white girls” but you have to say “minorities” instead of “black girls”?
