THELONIOUS MONSTER - BODY & SOUL?

Thelonious Monster is a post-punk rock band from Los Angeles, led by singer-songwriter Bob Forrest. Active from 1983 to 1994, and again since 2004, the band has released five original studio albums. Despite never achieving mainstream success, a number of largely popular acts cite them as influential

In 1988, guitarist John Frusciante auditioned for Thelonious Monster, he was in the band for only three hours, then was asked to join the Red Hot Chili Peppers because they were so impressed by Frusciante's musical ability.

After several years of sporadic activity and side projects by Forrest, Thelonious Monster reunited in 2004 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California and at the Sunset Junction Street Fair in Los Angeles, and released their first new album in 12 years. California Clam Chowder would feature guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who was also a member of Forrest's short-lived band, The Bicycle Thief. Klinghoffer would eventually go on to replace John Frusciante in the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

From the album Beautiful Mess (1992), enjoy:

DAFT PUNK - GET LUCKY (FT. PHARRELL WILLIAMS & NILE RODGERS)!

I just couldn't wait until midnight!
(the post will be edited at midnight with the official version)

After fake versions proliferated online yesterday, Daft Punk will release the real "Get Lucky" tonight at midnight EST, marking the first official new song from their upcoming album Random Access Memories.

The track features Pharrell on vocals and guitar work from disco legend Nile Rodgers; it was also teased in the commercial for the group's new LP that aired at Coachella and during Saturday Night Live last weekend. 

Just a few days ago, Daft Punk revealed the tracklist for Random Access Memories, which will see release on May 21st. The album finds the French duo moving away from sample-based tunes and enlisting the help of top studio musicians and producers, including Giorgio Moroder, Animal Collective's Panda Bear and Todd Edwards. 

And, of course, congratulations to Coletanm (youtube user) for his amazing, almost official edit! It's been on repeat for more than 12h now!
