This is def on the surreal side, as there's no words or speaking. Just music, and cinemetography. It's by Daft Punk but it's not their music. It's basically designed after their Human After All album. It was made in 2007 but now in 2024 I find it even more profound!!! but this is deffff on the indie/thought provoking/lowkey side and not for everyone. i have it on dvd but it shows up on youtube a lot! xx
here's a great write up on it from 2007 too!: http://thoughtsonstuff.blogspot.com/2007/12/daft-punks-electroma.html

Sorry it’ll be actually my third super french intervention but I need to talk about Interstellar 555. I recently discovered that some of my super french super close friends have never SEEN THIS MASTERPIECE, which is basically a collaboration between Daft Punk and Kazuhisa Takenouchi , to illustrate their album Discovery released in 2003. Interstellar 555 is a musical animated movie drawn by Leiji Matsumoto that basically uses all the songs from the album to create a 68 minutes science fiction story. It’s brilliant, it’s gorgeous, ngl it feels very nostalgic to watch but it’s a duty to acknowledge this fundamental art.

Recontextualizing their music outside of their radio hits, love Thomas bangalter, RAM is beautiful with live music and vocal performances from very interesting people with loads of experience making music and being musicians offering insights and experimenting outside of their genre and comfort zone

widely considered to be their worst album, but i’ve always appreciated the stripped back sound and consistent sonic palate of it. the distorted “yeah” bass synth they use on the whole album is THE sound I associate with Daft Punk, and along with the gritty guitars and deep fried drum machines this album really embodies the punk rock roots both members have. I also think there’s some interesting harmonic development going on in the songs even if songform wise they’re the most repetitive in the duo’s discography.
Technologic is easily a top 5 Daft Punk song for me, and is THE song that got me into electronic music when I heard it at age 6 for the first time. if approached as a true Robot Rock album, dance music does punk, I think there’s a lot to love. too many people compare it to Discovery and don’t appreciate it for what it has.

I know it sounds crazy, but trust me it's so good! All you need is radishes (sliced into however you want! or keep them whole, that's totally fine!), and just roll them into the butter or use a knife to spread it, and a sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy! it's so simple, and the flavor and texture combo is out of this world good. delicious thinly sliced radishes with a knife on a mandolin (but be careful!!!) with proscuitto and parsley in a sandwich (or on a flatbread/cracker) as well
Also check out Ploughman's lunches!! it's basically that exact vibe and I'm sure there's some inspo on pinterest!

I can't tell you how much I love this app. It's a note taking app, but everytime you enter it, it creates a blank document. it makes it seamless to get thoughts out asap!!! It's super basic and bare bones, but having a blank digital document ready as soon as you click the app seriously makes all the difference! They automatically save and sync to your computer if you have the app on your desktop too, so it's easy to sort through and find things.

one of my favorite journals is my cooking journal! I have one for each specific year and I write in it monthly, in real time. it consists of my grocery lists, farmers market lists, seasonal produce, meal plans for the week, recipe development (i also have a website i'm working on and a future goal is cookbooks so i'm always journaling this as I work on my recipes!!), meals I had out, dishes from cookbooks catching my eye, recipes i want to try... etc. really, everything food and cooking! it's more of a commonplace book of everything food related where I can develop and create recipes! it's fun to write the recipes out, and you have a place to make notes on what works, what didn't work, what to try, etc. Sometimes I even like to journal what playlists are going with the week - it's fun to see it along side all the cooking. it's always a fun look into the seasons too!
You can also use it to keep track on recipes / traditions you want to remember!
