“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.”

Produced in two distinctive colorways, mimicking the helmets worn by the French duo, the gold and silver bottles will see a limited production run beginning in March 2011. In addition to the general release at clubs, the bottles will be packaged in a collector’s box as a set, made available in exclusively through colette in Paris.

I, Geek
There was a moment during the ElecTRONica 9 minute sneak peek of Tron: Legacy where you get a glimpse of Daft Punk. The hairs on my arm practically stood up from excitement. I watched that preview 3 times in a row tonight, because that’s what geeks do. We can’t help ourselves when we get excited about something. The added live effects that the screening room provided (from the Disney 3-D®, to the lighting, to the air blowing) only furthered my fever.
I wish I were watching it again right now. I’m probably going to watch it again soon. If not this Sunday, then the next, and most likely, the one after as well. Who knows what the movie may bring? After all, the Star Wars prequels had some of the most exciting previews around and look how the actual films turned out.
If you asked me right now. Right in this moment. I’d seriously contemplate donning my “Midnight Screening” digs and return to the “Temple of Geekdom” inside of a true Imax theater after years of retirement. Maybe it’s a good thing tickets aren’t on sale yet.
Or are they…
