Daft Punk’s ‘Random Access Memories’, In One Five-Minute, 8-Bit Video Clip By Joe Jeremiah

Why, no — apparently the whole 8-bit craze did not take the dirt nap once Black Eyed Peas hopped on the bandwagon with whatever that last album of theirs was called. For you see, YouTube star Joe Jeremiah‘s series A Bit Of 8-Bit is still going strong, and he set his sights on Daft Punk‘s Random Access Memories for his latest clip. Yes, the whole album. “Get Lucky.” “Giorgio By Moroder.” “Contact.” All of it, in one, five-plus-minute clip.

We’re guessing that this is the exact type of cheap-and-dirty electronic trickery Daft Punk were looking to avoid when they recorded their LP with live instruments. (Hell, this is probably exactly what they hear whenever a Justin Bieber/Nicki Minaj/Ke$ha/Macklemore, etc. song comes on the radio.)

Still, we’re giving the guy an A for ambition here. Though, from the keyboard collapse he suffers at the end of the clip, it looks like RAM proved to be just too much for his 8-bit heart to take.

Maybe stick with the Bieber tunes, Joe?
