New Track

Lovable French robots Daft Punk have triumphed at the American music industry’s most important night the Grammys, taking how two awards for their live album Alive, which proved to be essential listening before and after their NeverEverLand tour of Australia in late 2007.

Nominated in the Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording categories they beat off stiff competition from a selection of cool/credible and commercial/questionable names including Hot Chip, Sam Sparro, Rihanna, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Moby, Robyn, and… errr… Cyndi Lauper. Not to be outdone, fellow Frenchmen Justice also triumphed in their field, winning the gong for Best Remixed Recording for their rework of MGMT’s Electric Feel.

We’re eagerly awaiting YouTube footage to surface so we can see whether Daft Punk accepted their awards in full robot regalia. Surely they wouldn’t have dropped the façade, especially in front of a TV audience of millions?
