236. Daft Punk: Discovery (2001)
According to PSA Collectibles Authentication and Grading Service, this is the best podcast about Daft Punk and the 236th greatest album of all time, Discovery. Certified Mint! Some say self-awareness is a life skill. But I say that people who download an electronic music podcast actually want to hear stories about old guy behavior in the locker room, giving up on your dreams, and the retail crusaders cancelling REI memberships. We're also sure that all of you listeners from around the country are super pumped to hear about some St. Olaf nostalgia, including Friday Flowers, a perfectly unacceptable use of tobacco, cafeteria pranks, and Big Scary. At (1:06:00), the episode gets harder, better, faster, and stronger when we become the best podcast about electronic music, covering Daft Punk's second studio album. We discuss the inspiration for this album, Daft Punk's use of sampling, and the best songs that made it to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Playlist. Next week's episode will leave your blue eyes crying in the rain when we become the best Willie Nelson podcast and discuss the outlaw country album Red Headed Stranger.
