Getting Lucky

It has been widely agreed that Get Lucky by Daft Punk (ft. Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers) is the song of the summer (winter here), and quite possibly the song of the century.

I don't know about anybody else but for me it is a rare masterpiece of a song, one which begs to be listened to over and over again. I will go into a sort of trance, and have it on repeat for hours without getting sick of it, such is the intensity of its hypnotic effect.

For those of you who can relate, and even if you can't, here are a few interesting and original covers of the same song which I have also enjoyed...

A very mellow and cool version from Daughter


An indie version by Miracles of Modern Science


An instrumental (using a looping pedal) version by the very talented Andrew Chang


And on the other extreme, a completely A Cappella version by frenchie JB Craipeau


And lastly, a pop version by one-man-band George Barnett


And I am still not tired of it!

Plagiarism?

Does the melody in Coldplay's new single sound familiar at all?

Edit: Here's the answer to our questions.

Out, about and hard at work...

First, the BIG news...

WE OWN A FRIDGE!!!! :-D!!!! :'-D!

After a long and arduous afternoon of appliance and furniture shopping, we went to Sydney's Factory Theatre for the Delta Spirit concert. They were not the main act, but they were the main act for us, and really the only reason we bothered. 

After a fabulous show (check out the beautiful song called Vivian, above) we ventured back into King St for a late dinner. At this point it is 10:30 at night, and we are not human any more. We are hungry beasts, lions, in the hunt for a juicy innocent gazelle or a tasty baby water buffalo. The roaring, quarreling, frisking and hounding left us with a few bruises and for a few moments I thought we would not survive, but there were simply no restaurants open at 11pm on a Sunday night!!! What's up with that?

Then we found a place called twelve, serving pizza for another 10 minutes, sweet baby water buffalo pizza, and so we're like hell yeah! Our tiresome feat and the short lived famine actually nourished our brains and the old gears started cranking. We came up with an infalible business idea: a restaurant that is open ONLY from 10pm to 6am every night of the week. It would serve an international menu consisting of pizza, chinese, thai, breakfast, hamburgers and mexican food. We are going to call it "Munchies". And that's that. Now we just wait for the cash to start rolling in.
