Overview

When Daft Punk announced that they will premiere their new album, Random Access Memories, at the Annual Show in the tiny town of Wee Waa, NSW everyone lost their minds a little bit. It seems like every website and news outlet in the world ran an equally incredulous item that, 'Yes, this is actually happening', and, 'No, this is not a joke'. Up until now, though, we hadn't heard any music from what is probably the most keenly anticipated album of the year.

All changed over the weekend with the release of a snippet of a song called 'Get Lucky', featuring Pharrell Williams (from N*E*R*D*) on vocals and Nile Rodgers (from everything). The clip also reveals the names of some of the other very special guests who will feature on the album, including Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, Panda Bear of Animal Collective, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Paul Williams, Giorgio Moroder and Todd Edwards.

So. Excited much?
