Lately Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been turning up in new and noteworthy contexts -- like going helmetless in clubs. And soundtracking films. But none are as new or noteworthy as their previously reported decision to license their likeness to the careful custodians of likenesses at Activision for the premiere installment of DJ Hero, the game that lets you tweak knobs and cue beats like a bona fide celebrity DJ. (If you Guitar Hero junkies were tired of people ragging on you for imitating guitar playing by pressing buttons, get ready for some imitating-pressing-buttons-by-pressing-buttons meta-ragging.) Actually it's more than just their likenesses the robots have lent Activision; in addition, Daft Punk have allowed the game to depict their stage sets and created 11 exclusive mixes that blend their bangers with -- according to this trailer's roll call -- Queen, Boogie Down Productions, No Doubt, Gary Numan, N.A.S.A., Beastie Boys, Hashim, and Young M.C.

The shortlist of nominees for the 2014 Mercury Prize has been announced! And, once again, the list confirms what we’ve always known: The Mercury Prize is much, much cooler than the stupid thing we’ve got … the [sigh] Grammys.

Mia Hansen-Løve’s new film, Eden, follows the rise of the French electronic music scene in the 1990s. No story about that scene would be complete without an acknowledgement of Daft Punk’s major influence, and the duo will be portrayed in the movie by Arnaud Azoulay (who will play Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) and Vincent Laco...
In 2005, Daft Punk released Human After All, a blaring bonesaw of an album — one that was maligned at the time, but that went on to have a big effect on the blitzkrieging dance music that would follow, and on the duo’s own mindbending live shows.
