New Daft Punk Live Video - "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"
Daft Punk's show at Keyspan Park on Coney Island this summer was the show where everyone (well, not everyone) saw god. The divine robots, in their providence, compassion and good grace, asked fans to bring video recording equipment to capture the rapturous proceedings for posterity. The dance deities have since harvested and edited footage from 250 fans (with the directorial assistance of Olivier Gondry) to produce this live video for a souped up, "Around" and "Television" teasing "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."
Holy shit, that looks like fun. This vid will be part of the Daft Punk Alive 2007 release, a live CD recorded during the 6/14/07 show at Bercy in Paris -- out 11/19 around the world, around the world on Virgin.

I'm assuming this is the song that Kanye sampled on his new single, the same single where he says, "Does anybody make real shit anymore?"
Hahaha, oh Kanye. Is it "real shit" if you're sampling somebody else?

That Nick Sylvester article linked within is fucking atrocious. How could somebody genuinely believe we want to read something as indulgent and self-satisfying as that? (Not faulting the link but the author.)
The page-long diatribes about some repressed high-school memory that is supposed to prove Mr. Sylvester's superiority of opinion and immunity to hyperbole makes me want to throw up.
This is like reading the world's longest, most meandering Pitchfork review that in the end, expresses the most disagreeable opinion of all time.
Nick Sylvester likely wrote notes to all of his classmates in 1st grade about how this "Santa Claus" character isn't that great and he's just a cheap, costumed derivative of Mom.

This video almost gave me a seizure.. could they slow down the cuts a little bit so you can actually see what it was going on? I was at the show and it was incredible, not as good as the coachella show, but still great. This video just doesn't do it any justice (get it.. justice, aww man I crack myself up)
Score = 0
I've just been waiting too long to see them live. This at least gave me a taste. I live vicariously through my friends who were all pretty much at this show and have been at others. One day, one day...

jesus, that looks like a whole load of fun.

goddamn MacKenzie, seriously?
how long is this stupidity going to continue?

I'd honestly kill someone to go to a Daft Punk show.
Score = 0
i think that constitutes more than a "tease" of "harder better faster stronger".
and in response to the "did this leak yet" question... it leaked before the show even happened. Maybe not the exact same, but the Coachella set has been floating around the internets since a day after it happened. and it's good quality too. just search and you will find.

this mashup is totally mindblowing!
the best part of the show by a mile

Jp is right, in fact I've been listening to this particular song/mix for a while... Ever since someone mentioned it/provided a link in some comments. Shame I couldn't see it live.

Sonal, I must be out of the loop because I'm afraid I don't know what "stupidity" you're referring to. Oh, please enlighten me.

daft punk sample too you idiot.

Oooh, name calling! How mature!
I'm not denying that Daft Punk sample. I'm merely pointing out the irony in Kanye's statement about people making "real shit." Sampling a techno song in the same song where one asks if anyone makes real shit anymore is rather hypocritical to me.
Score = 0
the problem seems to be that, in addition to taking the lyrics of that song at face value, you're assuming that "real shit" is meant to mean the same thing as, "completely original shit," which doesn't seem to be the case. i think the lyric is meant to be the same kind of observation most of us with taste make every day. there is a lot of manufactured bullshit out there, and it's often discouraging. the answer to the question is obviously "yes, of course," as kanye is well known for having a great amount of admiration for several artists, designers and musicians. plenty of artists have created very real shit while still borrowing heavily from the work of others. take andy warhol for example. very innovative, very real art, but most of the subject matter was heavily borrowed from other sources. it seems to exactly the same as sampling a track from another artist that you respect in order to create your own artistic statement.
jesus that is the most i've ever thought about a kanye west track. i think i have a nosebleed now.

Kanye West doesnt care what you think.

Re: Nick Sylvester article linked within.
1st clue of extreme pretentiousness: uses the term 'marijuana cigarette'
2nd clue: 'Anything could have been playing, anyone could have been playing it.'
pfffft.

I wonder if those two daft punk robots are actually doing anything in that pyramid. They could really just be standing there and dancing with no equipment which i assume is not the case but no one in the audience would ever know.
Score = 0
They've actually talked about this in interviews, and there are photos of inside the pyramid. There's a surprising amount that goes on back there considering how tightly choreographed their shows are (and does indeed allow for a bit of improvisation)

Kanye, you got PWND

@ Brent
true... anything where you actually have been to is better in real life than in a video clip ;) because you don't get the mood of the party and all..
