How about favorite album? Yeah it’s definitely difficult to pick just one, but I think my favorite song by them is probably still “Face to Face” and my favorite album is Random Access Memories…which came out 12 years ago…holy crap that one stood the test of time well. Let me know which musicians you’d like for me to cover next. Thanks for watching and listening!

As much as I miss Daft Punk. There is a sense of peace knowing they quit while they were ahead and didn’t die off really hard like lots of artists

I got into the stage lighting business right before their Coachella performance. That performance single handedly revolutionized the lighting industry, and I am grateful to have seen & benefited from that change first hand.

I remember when Random Access Memories came out. We made a bet with friends that 10 years later it would still sound fresh. Now almost 15 years later, it's one of the most enduring, impossible to copy albums I've ever sat through. Most people dont realize that "Get Lucky" mignt be the weakest part of the album. Songs like Giorgio, Beyond, Touch and Contact are a love letter to what electronic music can do when it tries to be deep. It's a niche no one's filled the same way since.
