Life ST 2013 Day 14: Daft Punk - Get Lucky










This was one of the most popular albums to release this year, and while I've never been a big Daft Punk fan, I gave Random Access Memories a shot and was pleasantly surprised.  To be honest instrumental music isn't really my thing, but the voiced tracks all found pretty powerful replay value in my mp3 player (read: Blackberry).   And yes, there's a reason why this thing is so popular--it's really well done.  This song goes on for how long on the album?  Seven minutes?  I bet more often than not you let it ride until the next track.   It's that addicting.
