But Eddie has no time for a breather – because its the heat of a political battle in June he’s preparing for next.
Daft Punk - "Get Lucky (David Morales Reconstruction)" - The 10 Best Remixes of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" Ah, "Get Lucky." Daft Punk's first single from their fourth album lit a spark on the dance music world, making people collectively talk about one thing for a number of months. Out of nowhere, we received snippets of the track in TV commercials, with the cryptic delivery of this song helping accentuate the hype.

There is now a talent agency for Internet-famous dogs Just as talent managers entered the digital space to guide the careers of influencers who unwittingly rose to celebrity out of their bedrooms, a similar movement is apparently happening among their canine counterparts. The Dog Agency, reports The Wall Street Journal, is one of the first talent management agency for influencer pets — many of whom have hundreds of thousands of followers across social media and high-profile marketers clamoring to collaborate. The Dog Agency was founded by Harvard Law grad and entrepreneur Loni Edwards, who is mother to a famous pooch of her own, Chloe (with 126,000 followers on Instagram). For the most part, famous dogs seem to be finding their groove on Instagram, and Edwards’ current clients include The Dogist, French bulldog sisters Piggy and Polly, and goldendoodle Samson.
