Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555 feature film
by 
|While we’re on a Daft Punk trip, Interstella 5555 is a feature-length Japanese animated movie made to accompany the soundtrack of their 1993 album, Discovery. Each track from the album was animated under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto as an episode in the story of the ‘abduction and rescue of an interstellar pop band’.

So you think Daft Punk are a bunch of geniuses who wrote a whole bunch of killer songs just by dreaming them up in some French mansion whilst sleeping with beautiful women and wearing fancy helmets? You’re only half right. Check out this website to see just where all these fancy schmancy house and hip hop producers have been stealing their material from for all this time. Who knew Beats International’s Dub Be Good To Me sampled Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time In The West? Hmmm.
Daft Punk live in Wisconsin in 1996
Daft Punk (unmasked!) play their first ever NA gig at a rave called Even Furthur.

The first time I witnessed that moment, I could feel something change inside me. This is a very important video. Read more
Emile Hirsch, Daft Punk, and crotch thrusting
So, students of pop culture, what do Emile Hirsch, Daft Punk, semi-naked men and furious crotch-thrusting have in common? The components of a lovely evening? Good answer, but I was looking for the new video for Daft Punk’s Alive. It is Hirsch’s directorial debut, and if this is just a taster, I like the cut of this kid’s jib.

Drawing from anime and fantasy art from the past half-century of graphic design and illustration, Jason Chan’s images appeal to the role-playing geek in us all.

Over the decades, there have been countless fictional spaceships committed to celluloid and video.
