Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to charge your batteries

2 October 2026

Artist: DEXELLE
Who: Seasoned singer-songwriter-guitarist
Nicolas D’Exelle from Antwerp, Belgium.

TUTV: Death Of A Rose is a shiny electro-pop pearl enriched with glammy orchestrations (think Scritti Politti), spot-on arrangements, Dexelle‘s stylish and impassioned vocals, and busy bass riffage.

It all results in a tremendously catchy tune for which repeat buttons were invented. Although the song’s story runs on mixed emotions, it’s the kind of sonic gem that puts
a big smile on your face and makes your day before it even begins.

Dexelle operates on this newbie in a space where you can show your funky dance moves
to synth-pop bliss by experts such as Tame Impala, MGMT, Two Door Cinema Club. Great company, right? You betcha.

Press play and shake your booty, people.

Sparkling and vivifying, upbeat and uplifting, enriched with stoked vocals and a joyous chorus. Around the 2.30 mark, a blazing guitar solo puts more oil on the fire. This sonic upper’s catchiness makes you reach for the repeat button. Let’s get in good trouble, people, right here, right now, right below.

Good trouble
Take me in your arms and make me feel right
Come lead me into some …
Good trouble
Chase me in the moonlight
Good, good trouble’s on the way

TOOL – Prog-Metal Giants Released Controversial Single ‘STINKFIST’ Today 30 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Top singles from the past

1 October 2026

Prog metal rockers TOOL released controversial single
STINKFIST on 1 October 1996, 30 years ago today.

It was the opener of their 2nd album Ænima

The song title – also also referred to as “Track #1” due to the perceived offensiveness of
the actual title and perceived subject matter – fisting and drug addiction – caused changes to be made to the originally released version by TV and radio programmers, who also shortened the track.

Maynard Keenan (vocalist) explained: “‘Stink” and “fist” and the resulting perception
of “fist fucking” is actually symbolic in dealing with a friend of drummer Danny Carey who
“isn’t afraid of getting his hands dirty” rather than a “write-off” of the sexual term. Instead, fisting is a metaphor for the real cause of ailment.”

#1 in Canada, #17 in the US.

More than 185 million streams on Spotify.
The video clip has, as of today, more than
27 million views.

The music video for the song was created with stop-motion animation techniques featuring live actors, and was directed by the band’s guitarist Adam Jones (who had previous experience in art direction and animation)

MOGWAI & IGGY POP Go ‘UNDERGROUND’

Posted on by JL

1 October 2026

Scottish mavericks MOGWAI celebrate their 30th anniversary.

To mark the remarkable event they will release a career-spanning compilation,
with a total of 28 tracks, baptized HAPPY TEARS: THE STORY OF MOGWAI on
8 January 2027.

It will feature songs from across their career, and
also rarities from across their discography.

Tracklist and pre-order info here.

They will also include a brand new song, called UNDERGROUND
performed with no none other than your punk dog IGGY POP.

Pop: “I’ve always liked Mogwai. The opening of the track reminded me of the crushing modern loneliness. The sung vocal, felt like it was made for someone who is pissed off and doesn’t mind saying so.”

Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai‘s guitarist/vocalist): “Hearing the Stooges had been a life-changing moment for me. Their self-titled album was pretty much my bible. It was druggy, dumb and completely primal. I’d never heard anything quite like it and even though that
band had pretty much fallen apart by the time I was born, I grew to love the three Stooges albums as much as any music I’d heard.”

Now let’s go to business. Here comes their lust for life
collaboration UNDERGROUND. A torrid motherrocker.
A happy song for happy people.
