I never really got into Daft Punk. But all the well-deserved hype over Random Access Memories made me dive into their catalogue. I got the Discovery album, which is amazing. And this song, “Get Lucky” made my voice immediately drop down an octave and say “DAYUM, that’s funky!” Pharrell Williams on the sweet vocals, who’s a smart and interesting guy despite his music being less so, and f-ing Niles Rodgers on guitar. Shamefully, I had no knowledge who Niles Rodgers was when I first heard this track. But as soon as I found out he played guitar on “Le Freak,” I was completely on board.
