The speculation has come to an end for another year. The 2012 Coachella lineup has been released and Daft Punk are not on it.

According to a source of Billboard, “Daft Punk was once again given a huge offer to perform but declined”

Remember that awesome chart that Agent Raybans put together earlier this year? Well, it’s back!

With kind permission we’ve recreated the chart as an interactive web-page. You can now get closer to the helmets than ever before and find out all the key information on how they have evolved over the years.

Since they first made an appearance in the early 2000′s the helmets that Daft Punk wear while out in public have become an icon. But how have they changed over time? Find out how the varying needs have shaped the helmets and given the duo their identity over the last 10 years.

Bodytonic have released a mix by our very own forum member conkeeling. The mix, featuring over 40 songs, is a tribute to the artists that inspired Daft Punk.

Conkeeling, aka Conor Keeling, had this to say on his mix:

“A big ‘shout out’ to my fellow Daft Club members (all 6,934 of you!) – with a special mention to guys like Churro, ifcwdjd, Cubulo and theworldisdaft who have shared so much great DP-related material over the years. The mix is aimed at the old school ‘Homework’ fans but I hope it’s of interest to everybody. Special thanks to Spud in Disguise for his support!”
