ZOMG Robotz Are Taking Ovar Teh Worldz! Oh Never Mind its Just Daft Punk (Music Review)

          Look at the music you listen to, now back to mine. Now back at your music, now back to mine. Sadly it isn’t mine, but if you listen to Daft Punk it could sound like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re searching through their album, listening to the music  your music couldn't sound like. What did you hear? Back at mine, it’s an album playing something you want to hear. Look again the album is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you listen to something new.
         
          See them two robots robots over there? -->
Their actually two French musicians called Daft Punk who happen to be an electronic music duo. And yes they do go everywhere wearing those helmets (They like light up and everything but are $65,000 a piece, ouch). Now back to the music. 
        
    Now if your into lets say techno or electronica,then your right at home. If not then bear with me or they'll find you(look they even have a map out). Just kidding (or am I?). Now does music need lyrics in order to be music? No because many of Daft Punk's songs don't really have any lyrics. You just sit their and enjoy their musical creations. Did you know that Daft Punk had created a animated movie based entirely on their Discovery Album? There is literally no dialogue. Its all music thats been perfectly blended into a story.  If you wanna get the most out the album then I recommend  watching the film ( heres the link, Full Length Movie( Don't Worry its just Google Video))
         
         I do however find some of the songs to be a bit repetitive at times. Like as if some parts drag on longer then necessary. A good way to cope with this is to treat it like background music. These songs are good to have in the background or listen to while your busy. You can listen to it while walking, on the train, doing work, or just waiting to pass the time. Sooner or later you won't notice the small details in the song and you might even notice that you were moving to the rhythm of the music.
      
        One of the main reason I find Daft Punk's  music so amusing is that its unique. Compared to todays music theres nothing that stands out above the rest. Daft Punk though seems to keep a variety from one song to another.

         Yet its not up to me to say whether or not their music is "good". I think its great but thats my opinion. So you have to listen yourself so you can find out yourself. You've might of already heard of them before. They were featured in Kayne West's song "Stronger" and even provided the sound track for the upcoming film "Tron Legacy" ( You could notice them in a few scenes). So give a try won't ya? ;) wink. Also a fun song try try to sing along to is Technologic :P

Jay & Nick

                  Jay & Nick are our two main character in The Great Gatsby. Though they are neighbors they seem to live two completely different lifestyles. Jay lives a life of luxury due to his vast amount of wealth while Nick is more of a loner who only goes to where he is wanted. Yet despite that fact I actually find them to be quite similar. They both seem to try to stay out of trouble if you may have noticed. Nick is always feeling like he has to apologize for his every action while Jay sees to throw money at his problems to fix them. They are also very unsocial. Jay may throw these huge parties but he doesn't really get to know anyone. Same goes for Nick who just seem to be there.
                 Now not until recently in the story have the two gotten  to know each other. Yet I feel that Jay is really using Nick to get to Daisy. Yet he tries desperately not to show it. Much like how in Chapter five where he asks Nick to invite Daisy. He clearly want Nick to do it but tries to hide it by saying " I don't want to put you to any trouble". Yet besides Jay's purpose in befriending Nick for Daisy they don't seem to be like a bad match. I haven't read enough to see if they become true friends or not but it seems like a start. They both seem like kind gentlemen and would gladly enjoy helping each other.

~~Winter Poem~~



Although the cold of the winter stings,
Be aware of the arrival of other things.
Children like up with glee,
As they start their letters with" Santa, this is what I would like from thee".

This is a time of Harmony & peace,
Where families gather in their warm sweaters of fleece.
Some get up and do their holiday jig,
While others indulge themselves like little pigs.

Some say its all about the presents,
Which I find very pleasant.
Yet spending time with the people we love is precious,
Which affects a person's mind deep within their conscious.

As the children gather around the Christmas tree,
They can only  imagine what they will see.
Go find that Christmas sweater that lies dormant in your attic,
But be careful because I've heard that they can cause static.

So goodbye and goodnight,
Maybe you'll here the arrival of Santa's sled tonight...
