Interstella 5555

My friend showed me this when we were installing security alarms in Tallahassee. It might've been our day off but we got onto youtube and here it was. Daft Punk made an album and the songs on them are designated to a animated movie titled Interstella 5555. For 14 tracks there are 14 videos. It totals about an hour and some change if you have that much free time to spare this is a real treat. I think I pulled it all off from a sick day. There is no sound except for the tire screeches with the car chase scenes. It is beautifully done with a unique plot and GREAT music. So there is this "guy from the oatmeal box" (you can't miss him, they make him out to look like the most evilest man alive) and there are distant worlds were these smurf people jam out on their home planet and are taken (almost like poached by this ninja force) and brought back to...Earth? Anyways I don't want to spoil it for you but they definitely illustrate the "no-nos" of creating music STRICTLY for marketing purposes instead of just letting it out in true form and spirit. That's probably a good reason why fans today are insecure about the music they love because maybe they feel that if the artist gets too good they will "sell out" and become "corporate". The number 5555 is the number of gold records this evil man wants (he's a big time producer). He is like a game collector almost like how a hunter travels exotic locations specifically to add to his collection (how does he sleep at night). There are so many neat things out there with the dilemma of not having enough time to enjoy those out-of-the-blue marvels that so often cross our paths in life. ENJOY!
