Get inspired by Daft Punk and Rolling Stone

How I rocked, ro-bot-rocked my way to feeling recharged about writing...

I get energized by really outstanding, super-weird creative people. And, Daft Punk's feature in the June issue of Rolling Stone was so goddamned satisfying for a fangirl like me. They cover everything I've been fiending to learn about: the helmets, three eras' worth of their muses, and the secret, new pieces that intend to break pace with current non-trends in electronic music.

Also, Daft Punk's new masterpieces should accomplish what they've done with music samples and that technological sound, "but with people"... Okay, so, at that point in reading, my goofy artist's imagination reeled from some kind of soylent green 'dear God, the riffs... they're made from people!' scenario (probably because these guys always dress like scary robots), before touching back to earth again when it was soon explained that Homem-Christo and Bangalter can rush through their studio mid-song to switch cables from input to output ports, or turn up one of a gazillion dials on custom made sound systems to produce a truly organic — from-the-soul sound that can't just be repeated precisely from one performance to the next. Wow, imagine an electronic music duo who isn't afraid to say that most music in their genre is "not deep, it's surface." Now, they're busting their asses to keep their own sound emotionally provocative.

Hrm. Like how I feel about breaking the black experience into mainstream fantasy-fiction... Ouch.
