I went to their show at Coney Island. INCREDIBLE. I can now die happy.

Later I read a "behind-the-scenes" article about what the inside of the pyramind actually looks like. There looks to be a lot of live mixing going on, though there's still no guarantee that it's actually them. Could easily have been some hired DJs.

Here's a copy: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44892-daft-punks-magical-pyramidspaceship-infiltrated

And it's true what they say -- only Daft Punk can mix Daft Punk.

I have to go with MarineGunrock and smibbo on this one. QM's posts have never been a favorite of mine on the Sift as we just come from two different fields of thought. But that's neither here nor there; if anything, his posts continually makes me ponder my own views and I can't fault anyone who promotes thought, (though I'm sure that isn't his intention with his posts). As previously stated, if you abuse something that's been given to you, you take it away.

With that said, I'm in the front row to see how this plays out. Ooh, here comes the hotdog vendor now... Issy, could you pass me that Coney dog and beer? You're such a sweetie.

My unforgettable smile. For some reason I'm not able to get this Weegee photo out of my mind: http://www.ubugallery.com/phpwcms/phpwcms_tmp/thumb_preview/1_1242_2lcFmufgAt.jpg

The girl was a model Weegee had hired and they happened upon the scene while walking down the beach at Coney Island.

Aww. I wanted to see Coney Island of "the 1903 and 1904" but this is *dead.

"Mermaid Avenue is a 1998 album of previously unheard lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie, put to music written and performed by British singer Billy Bragg and the American band Wilco. Mermaid Avenue is the street in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York on which Guthrie lived after being discharged from the Army."

what is it with all these videos with humans in gorilla costumes at Coney? is there some kinda meme I'm missing?

Turner Classics just showed this last weekend. Great movie...We accept you, one of us! Gabba Gabba! Oops,no, that was the Ramones not Browning. There's a wonderful promo film on Coney Island from the 1940's that has the pinhead women Zip and Pip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaqiPjM_mNE
