This. By far. How could this have been even released?

Mangoes, watermelons and pears all the way.

Absolutely terrible. I'm really looking forward to growing a beard, but for the time being, I just shave it.

In the spirit, yes. But in the process, it's entirely different. Vintage drum machines, a TB-303 bassline, versus an actual drummer, an actual bass player and so on. I mean, just listen to this and this. Without knowing, I'd have never guessed it's by the same people.

One of the particularities of Daft Punk is that none of their albums sounds alike. That's not gonna help your confusion. Let me try to explain it briefly. -- Guy-Man and Thomas started off as two DJs in the early 90s. Their music was heavily rave-influenced and their first material was very raw and acid-sounding. Here's an example (this is from 1994, before it was released on their first album Homework in 1997). They weren't wearing robot gear at the time, they only got the idea later. Instead they were using weird masks to remain more or less anonymous. In 2001 they released Discovery, an album in which they used a lot of samples from the disco and funk era. It was totally mind-blowing at the time, and remains one of my all-time favorite albums. I'm sure you've heard One More Time, but it's full of equally awesome tracks. In 2005 they released Human After All, which is more rock oriented, despite its electronic sounds. Not my favorite, but still neat. With Random Access Memories (2013), a very disco-oriented album, they're paying homage to the people that inspired them. In this album, they're using real instruments, real drummers instead of just drum machines, and they got to play with actual people from the era they're paying homage to. Nile Rodgers, among others. It's like bringing back disco in 2013. In a world where most music nowadays sound like shit and is overly computerized, it's like a big finger to the music industry. And it worked. That's the beauty of it. --- Just so you know, Guy-Man and Thomas didn't start their musical career as Daft Punk. They had a rock band called Darlin' at first, which didn't work at all (with Laurent Brancowitz who is now in the band Phoenix). BUT they also had a solo career on their respective labels, Crydamoure and Roulé. And god knows there are a lot of gems here. Have listen to this and this.

Same as above, I'm happy being male. I never asked myself this question, to be honest.

I love Bach's music and baroque music in general. I also enjoy country but I don't know many songs. As for dubstep... there are some tracks that I enjoy, but I'm not very fond of this genre.

I just cannot stand the smell of cigars, cigarettes and all that shit. Let alone inhaling smoke, it's just disgusting.

I could listen to virtually any genre of music. My tastes just change according to my mood and as life goes. I'm really into old school french house right now, and I've been into it for 2 years now. But here are genres I enjoy: classic rock, country, hip hop, rap, trip hop, disco, italo disco, trance, EDM, classical, and soundtrack music.

I hardly played 10 different Sonic games (well I have almost tried them all, but if I played for 20 minutes that doesn't count, right?) so... fuck that. I'll do a top 5. First, games I've played, ranked: 2D Old-school classic Sonic 1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles 2. Sonic CD 3. Sonic 2 4. Sonic 1 on Master System (my very first game ever, I played it when I was 2 or 3 years old) 5. Sonic 1 Still old-school but 3D 1. Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Newer games 1. Sonic Colors 2. Sonic Generations and now... General Top 5 1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles 2. Sonic Adventure 3. Sonic CD 4. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle 5. Sonic 2

Rarely. I just don't see the point in making more friends than I already have. I have a few, and I'm totally fine with it. That doesn't make me antisocial now does it?

A well-know french video gaming website, in early 2006. I was only 11.

More than anything, I hate liars, ungrateful and selfish people. The rest, I can manage.

I like to think that there is life beyond earth. It is extremely likely, given the immensity of the universe. However, I am unsure that we will ever make contact with any extraterrestrial life form. As a species, will we live long enough for that? Then there is the question, do we really want this to happen? What if it does not go well? Is it really a good idea to endanger the entire population just for the sake of this? We already have our own shit to put in order.

When I am with friends, or alone, I swear all the time. I just can't help it.

Of course. I love chewing hats.

A fellow CPGE student? :3 Bien le bonjour.

Exactly! The only exception being being Charlie Sheen, obviously.

SpongeBob Squarepants definitely (the first two/three seasons). I grew up with this and still watch one episode from time to time, because it's just so awesome. I'm not interested in the new seasons though, the SpongeBob soul is gone.

I wanted to use a specific username for this community, so I used some pony name generator and clicked until something fine came up.
