Mini-bLISTerd: A Tribute to the Style of Nile

If you like music and you’ve been on the Internet in the past few weeks, you can’t go far without seeing Daft Punk’s name in print. The French dance duo came back in a big way this month with the release of  Random Access Memories , a stirringly retro dance album and their first proper studio album in eight years (a live album and the soundtrack to TRON: Legacy have all appeared in the interim).

I promise that there will be no more attempts at really gay-sounding alliteration going forward. 50. “The Chase” by Giorgio Moroder I’ve never seen “Midnight Express”, but something tells me that Moroder’s pulsing theme was the best thing about the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akyx5iu_z8Y
