Alive....

Just today, we wondered how much electronic music now is in debt to electronic music then. We asked this electro DJ guy if he remembered the name of a song we forgot from Daft Punk's Homework album. It was right on the tip of our tongues, until we asked him when he said, "What's Homework?" Sort of stunned, we stopped and said "Oh, never mind. Thanks though." and walked away. A little disappointed, maybe. He did look a little young. Was it just plain unawareness (aka he didn't know his shit) or was it a moment of realizing we were just probably getting old? Then the moments of hearing 'Homework' for the first time occurred: Not old enough to drive, sneaking out to raves, watching mtv2 when they actually played music videos, frivolous behavior, the after-cigarette, girls' midriffs and beautiful boys.....









That's when we remembered the song title. It was "Alive."
