Daft Punk Working On New Album With Disco Legend Nile Rodgers

Famed disco icon Nile Rodgers has apparently been spending time with everyone’s favorite Parisian robots, according to an interview with the Chic frontman in Houston’s Culture Map. “Those guys are great,” said the man behind “Le Freak” and “Good Times.” “They’re coming to my apartment on Monday and we’re going to talk about making a new record together.”

This dream collaboration would mark Daft Punk’s first proper album since 2005’s rather forgettable (yet ultimately redeemed) Human After All. It’s widely believe that the new effort with Rodgers, who has produced everyone from Superbowl superstar Madonna (Like A Virgin) to David Bowie (Let’s Dance) to Michael Bolton (um…) will be an R&B-influenced affair. It’s a genre Daft Punk have already proven themselves surprisingly capable of.

Why? “Adrenalin” is being named as the culprit, according to M.I.A.’s camp.

Watch the performance after the jump.

“Born This Way” is nothing like “Express Yourself”

Since Lady Gaga debuted her new single “Born This Way” at the Grammy’s the comments and comparisons between her and Madonna’s “Express Yourself” not only have made it through the twittersphere but even publications such as Rolling Stone.

All these comparisons on two songs which really have little to nothing in common besides the ponytail Lady Gaga had styled on at the Grammy’s. “Express Yourself” is a song which is more about the ability to express your needs in a relationship. While the song even if read as a metaphor or symbol of free expression would seize simply with the opening words.

“Come on girls! Do you believe in love? ‘Cause I got something to say about it, and it goes something like this”"

Then the song …

Classix Remix Madonna “Lucky Star” (MP3)

Here’s a last minute entry into the weekend playlist. If you can tear yourself away from listening to the new Radiohead for a minute (how many times can you repeat eight songs?), might we recommend this nice edit of Madonna’s “Lucky Star” by LA’s own Classixx. If you’re not yet up on Tyler and Michael, these guys are creating some nice disco touches that make them America’s best answer to Aeroplane. They have a new single coming out on Green Label Sound soon, which ou crystal ball is predicting you will be hearing much of on dance floors in Austin and Miami next month.
