Daft Punk samples in video

Tom Whitwell, who edits the fantastic Music Thing (and formerly wrote a column of the same name on Engadget) has a really fun “visual aid” to some of the more obscure samples from some of Daft Punk’s less obscure tracks. So good!

So good, is right! Very cool to see/hear those original samples and I would have thought Daft would have tweaked them more, you know, made them more their own. But who cares? (back to listening to Human After All for the upteenth time)

this is kind of a bummer for me. discovery is one of my favorite albums, and most of these “samples” almost sound like straight “rip-offs”.

@danielaugustine trying not to build this system in PHP if we can help it!

@ceedub yeah, talking tens of millions of requests per day from just one partner, it's a little daunting.

@ceedub er, I should say, one of our partners (not one client). So we need to get their request flood to play a little nicer.

@ceedub hard to expain in 140. Basically our API uses POST instead of GET for some things, and one client generates a LOT of requests.

@majornelson tell [P] of @paulandstorm that @Veronica and I had some huckleberries this morning, and they were still quite delicious.

@davidltaylor peeping, thanks! Sounds like Varnish may be it, unless we do something entirely custom...
