Daft Punk is Hanging up the Helmets after 28 years...

Posted this to their social media about an hour ago and their publicist has confirmed they are parting ways.

These guys were my first introduction to Electronica/House/Synthpop.  This was back in the mid/late 90s, I was traveling up along the lake headed to Canada in Tonawanda NY and there was a radio station called something like Energy 108 and Daft Punk's Around the World was the first song I heard.

Impossible to not jam to that song.  Here are the lyrics copied and pasted from Musixmatch.  How can three words be so damn catchy?

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Not speaking ill of the dead, but there is not a Daft Punk song that I like.  I don't have a problem with electronica, but they are just not interesting to me.

It does seem like after all this time that they would just stop making music together, rather than publicly break up.

Random Access Memories is a great album to be your swan song.

Daft Punk and Jamiroquai is all I listen to while I work on my car ... somehow it relaxes me and keeps me from throwing wrenches through the windshield.
