WHY CAN WE NOT HAVE GOOD THINGS!!!!! OK now that my tantrum is done I get it, trust me I do. If you haven't been paying attention Daft Punk has officially retired after 28 years of changing the game (I mean their last album came out in 2012 but still). Here is my "safe" Daft Punk story. I went to Coachella to see 1 band, Tool. Let me be clear, not only was I seeing Tool at Coachella that year (2006), I had 4 more Tool shows to see on that tour and this was to be their 1st show of 10,000 Days. Tool was playing Sunday, so I decided to see Daft Punk Saturday night. I liked Daft Punk's music but was not in love with these humans/I mean robots. As I made my way to the Mojave tent I caught the end of Audio Bullys set and connected with 2 hommies from Santa Barbara randomly (although I'd like to think it was through the magic of friendship and fate). Then all of a sudden I saw a fucking Pyramid roll out onto the stage and said to myself "How are they gonna do use that"

The lights went out. The crowd's collective energy was about to surge and then Daft Punk emerged in the Pyramid amidst oodles of fog, lights, lasers and their brand of electronic goodness. The rest as the saying goes, is history.

Retirement though? I guess they are human after all...

Thanks for everything Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter aka Daft Punk. You did it right.
