Daft Punk to Release Album of Live Wankery

Guys, it can't be called "live" if it's pre-programmed

Victoria's Secret recording artists Daft Punk are set to release a live album entitled Alive 1997 on October 2nd. As the story goes, the French duo stumbled across a recording of a show they did in November 1997 on their Daftendirektour, and realized just how goddamned amazing they are in concert. As a courtesy to the music industry-- or maybe just to make a little extra scratch for the upcoming holidays-- Daft Punk decided to release Alive 1997, which features Homework-era faves "Da Funk" and "Rollin' & Scratchin'," along with, we're guessing, a bunch of other stuff. I mean, who would put out a live album with only two songs on it?
