So this "reemergence" of disco-like music should not be appealing to me. But you know, with time and distance, and a new twist, hell, I'm willing to give it a go.
Bands like Daft Punk and LCD Soundsystem (they aren't called "disco but "electronic" or "alternative dance") have done some amazingly good work. Whether you club or don't club, dance or don't dance, there is something kind of cool going on.
And "Get Lucky" from Daft Punk must be considered the song of the summer. But you must see the video to really get it. The amazing, super-cool Nile Rodgers guitarist and record producer extraordinaire (Madonna, Bowie, Chic) plays a custom see-through Strat, and his energy, his smile, his smooth, effortless technique, and those long dreads are just absolutely priceless.
Nile is playing with a band of French Robots with Pharrell Williams on vocals. It's great. And who doesn't want to get lucky?!?
