The Sillyness (and possibly effectiveness) of Daft Punk

O.K., what is the deal with Daft Punk, that French electric duo?! Look at those helmets!!



Maybe those helmets make music (that's my best guess), or maybe they do it to look cool, or, laughably, maybe they do it because they do not want to be seen in public. Some people might not want to be as famous as the president, signing autographs 24/7. Ask Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.

Fun fact: Both Bangalter and Homem-Christo were on a band called Darlin'. The third member was Laurent Brancowitz (a guitarist from one of my favorite bands, Phoenix). Although, Darlin' disbanded more than 20 years ago.
