Album Review: Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Style: Disco, Funk
Pros: First Daft Punk album in a while.
Cons: It's hard to live up to Homework and Discovery.
Overview: Those of you expecting Electronic Dance Music from the famed duo will be sorely disappointed.  Random Access Memories belongs in the early 80s late 70s time frame.  Upon first listen, you are taken back... and like "what's going on here."  Some songs hit the spot, others are weird, and the rest feel like you're too young to get it.  All, I can say is that though it's not as impactful as Homework and Discovery, Random Access Memories is a lot more memorable than Human After All.  It's also a good break from the over abundance of EDM in Pop culture today.  The kids probably wont like it... but after a few listens, it starts to grow on you.
Top Songs: Get Lucky, Instant Crush, Doin' It Right, Lose Yourself to Dance, Contact

Album Review: Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City

Style: Indie Rock
Pros: Good
Cons: Not much
Overview: Vampire Weekend is pretty consistent here, in their third album.  They haven't deviated from their sound and it still sounds fresh.  There is no bad or boring song on this album.  I enjoy their ole' timey style.  So I'm just going to keep this short and say that Modern Vampires of the City is a good listen and a must for Vampire Weekend fans.
Top Songs: All

Song of the Day: Phoenix - Trying to Be Cool (The Chainsmokers Remix)

Phoenix fans, you'll probably like The Chainsmokers' of Trying to Be Cool because it keeps in tone with the original, but with a little more boogie in it, which, in turn, causes your bum to start movin.'

Music Video: Discopolis - Falling (Axwell Edit)

Here's a nice melodic Disco styling called Falling (Committed to Sparkle Motion) from the band Discopolis.  This song is produced by Axwell, which is great because it doesn't sound like the usual high energy Progressive House set.

Music Video: Empire of the Sun - Alive

Here's Empire of the Sun's music video for Alive, if you haven't seen it yet.  Cool locations.

Listen: Empire of the Sun - Alive (Zedd Remix)

Here's a pretty banger remix of Empire of the Sun's song Alive by none other than Zedd.  I just wish it was a longer clip... or the whole song would do, too.
