Saturday, April 04, 2009 Daft Punk & Daft Punk Bearbricks. Daft Punk! Listened to their songs when I was 13. I don't think anyone knows the latter. [but who cares isn't it?] =D Their songs are catchy and puts you in the groove, not because I really like House [genre].  Below: The actual Daft Punk duo!  One reason why I admire them too, get ready to read this music people!Basically, this is their response when asked why they signed with Virgin as their record company: "Many record companies offered us deals. They came from everywhere, but we decided to wait--partly because we didn't want to lose control of what we had created. We turned down many record companies. We weren't interested in the money, so we turned down labels that were looking for more control than we were willing to give up. In reality, we're more like partners with Virgin." Further added: "We've got much more control than money. You can't get everything. We live in a society where money is what people want, so they can't get the control. We chose. Control is freedom. People say we're control freaks, but control is controlling your destiny without controlling other people. We're not trying to manipulate other people, just controlling what we do ourselves. Controlling what we do is being free. People should stop thinking that an artist that controls what he does is a bad thing. A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses"  After reading that, I just thought all of a sudden what would I want if I were an artiste, be it singer, producer whatever. Well, I would definitely want control. With sufficient control, I'll be able to create oppurtunities for myself, making money from there. =P Still, control is rare and difficult to come by nowadays.
