Anime in relation to Daft Punk?

Is it just me or are the members of Daft Punk fans of Anime? A lot of the Daft Punk videos on YouTube are Daft Punk audio played over various Anime, are these official videos or just fan made? I'm assuming that most are fan made, but it is hard to find the actual official videos if this is the case. This article doesn't mention anything about Anime, so perhaps there is nothing to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hullo exclamation mark (talk • contribs) 10:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Daft Punk produced the feature-length anime film Interstella 5555 featuring their album Discovery as its soundtrack. It's essentially a music video of the entire album. just64helpin (talk) 12:10, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another album?

So far, Daft Punk has released their studio albums a consistant 4 years apart from each other. So another one should be released this year. Are there even rumors containing any further information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.135.101.78 (talk) 19:41, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Edit:) Hm, I don't suppose this would say anything more than what we already know? http://www.onemoredisco.com/news/new-daft-punk-album/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.135.101.78 (talk) 14:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What, no one has anything to say? 72.135.101.78 (talk) 21:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to paraphrase what you said, it doesn't say anything more than what we already have in the article. just64helpin (talk) 21:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But I'm getting so bored! I wish SOMETHING new would happen. D= 72.135.101.78 (talk) 19:16, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

War?

Just64Helpin, you seem to be having a bit of an edit war? 72.135.101.78 (talk) 03:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're referring to my most recent edits to the article. If so, I'll explain: Leftovers is an unofficial compilation that was mistakenly added to the iTunes Store and subsequently removed from the store. The "Darlin'" subheading is redundant and unneeded (see WP:MOS for further info on formatting). Lastly the "Yama Dirty Crew" bit was unsourced and brings up zero hits in Google. In short, it isn't so much an edit war as it is the result of excessive littering in an underwatched page. just64helpin (talk) 03:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks for the info. 72.135.101.78 (talk) 01:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Space's influence on Daft Punk

Just wondering why there is no mention of French Band, Space as Daft Punk clearly drew their persona / stage presence / costumes from this band, even if they don't mention this. I suggest watching 'Magic Fly' (by Space) video on Youtube as an illustration. I think that this article would be richer for a mention of the similarities of the two bands and lead those who visit this page to investigate Space further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeyphonix (talk • contribs) 22:10, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Such a comparison would be considered original research. Please see WP:NOR for further information. just64helpin (talk) 22:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"This means that Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own opinions, experiences, or arguments."

Ok this is not my subjective view, I should have elaborated that certain individuals in the music press and industry have expressed the same opinion of which I can locate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeyphonix (talk • contribs) 01:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the cited information would probably go in the "Influences" section. just64helpin (talk) 02:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

News

Here's some new information about... um, Daft Punk stuff. I don't really know what to say other than check it out: http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesynopsfullart.aspx?csid1=132&csid2=844&fid1=38374 72.135.101.78 (talk) 04:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and added it to the Thomas Bangalter article. just64helpin (talk) 04:46, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference overhaul

Who else wants to go through all of the references and see is they work? There's a couple of sources already marked as dead links and have been for a couple months now. I think it's time to look for new sources or just remove the statements. Here's a link to the external link checker. I do have to note there's one link on there marked as dead but it's really not. I might start checking the external links sometime later today and into tomorrow. Any issues that come up about it, just shoot a message to me or in this conversation below.

Years in subsection

I don't think the years should in included as it's really hard to brand an era to the year as some events could have fell into two eras. Also, would it be safe to introduce a new subsection in the sense of "eras." The Human After All era is most certainly done and over with. We could brand the era with Alive 2007 so there's enough information to warrant the era. Then, the most present thing as an era is them doing the film score for Tron Legacy.

I don't know. It just seems weird to section the history of Daft Punk just simply by albums. Agree or disgree? Douglasr007 (talk) 07:20, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to disagree - removing the years would be confusing for readers looking for a specific timeframe. It'd be safer to simply have a "recent projects" section for post-HAA material. If I recall correctly, Alive 2007 is considered part of the HAA era, both conceptually and musically. just64helpin (talk) 13:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well yeah I was saying we could merge Alive 2007 info to the Human After All era but yeah everything looks good now. Thanks. Douglasr007 (talk) 22:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think the way the "era" system is now, is about the most incredibly effective ways to describe the history of Daft Punk. It really should stay the way it is.
