Top singles from the past

27 November 2025

Famous British guitar-synth pop combo PULP scored
one of their biggest hits with swirling single DISCO 2000.

The song was based on frontman Jarvis Cocker‘s childhood
memories of his friend Deborah Bone, whom he had fancied
in his youth but could never impress.

It was part of their most successful album Different Class.

It went to #7 in the UK and earned top-10 spots in several
other countries. Almost 150 million streams on Spotify.

“Oh, we were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya
And they said that when we grew up
We’d get married and never split up
Oh, we never did it
Although I often thought of it”

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from the past

The quiet Beatle GEORGE HARRISON (1943-2001) released his 3rd and most
successful album, a triple one, on 27 November 1970, today 55 years ago in
the US, 3 days later in the UK.

It was co-produced by wall of sound wizard Phil Spector.
It topped the US & UK album charts and also went to
the top spot of several other countries.

The album reflects the influence of Harrison‘s musical activities with artists
during 1968–1970, and his growth as an artist beyond his supporting role in
The Beatles.

Rolling Stone magazine said: “Wagnerian, Brucknerian,
the music of mountain tops and vast horizons.”

George Harrison: “The biggest break in my career was getting into
the Beatles in 1962. The second-biggest break since then is getting
out of them.”

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

26 November 2025

Who: Ambitious indie mavericks from Cork, Ireland. So far they
have released 2 EPs, Strawberry Scented (2024) and this year’s
Salt Of The Lee.

Track: MARSH
New single.

“A song that explores the heavy feelings of seasonal depression. When the weight of
it makes the air feel thick and hard to move through. Appreciating the little moments
like the winter sun or walks with friends eases the overwhelming thoughts and feelings.”

TUTV: Ireland is crowded with great bands, and not only Fontaines D.C.
Cork‘s thrilling Cliffords are another fast up-and-coming, hungry outfit.

Their brand-new single Marsh is a melancholic tryout scraping the sky with
Iona Lynch‘s goosebumps vocals, with ablaze guitars and with a hammering
forth-and-back beat. Your ears will be aroused instantly.

26 November 2025

Artist: WHERE WE SLEEP
Who: The musical project of British songstress Beth Rettig started to realise her musical vision, and to experiment and express a deeply personal and poetic vision, following her previous collaboration in Blindness, signed to AC30 Records, and performing with the likes of Lene Lovitch, and Viv Albertine.

Track: HEADLONG

“The song is about escape from an absolutely chaotic black hole, about a realisation
and awareness you need to extricate yourself from a situation, and take back control.”


Single artwork

TUTV: Rettig takes you on a speedy and mysterious ride through the night,
away from reality, into her fantasy. She’s in control behind the wheel; we
are only onlookers with no idea of her destination. Does she?

Distorted, shoegazy guitars accompany her. Uncanny drums dictate the beat.
Stressed vocals strengthen the sinister fever even more. Think 90s duo Curve,
fronted by the enigmatic Toni Halliday. Be ready for a chilling trip into darkness.

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

26 November 2025

British timeless rock heroes THE KINKS had their 3rd LP named
THE KINK KONTROVERSY out on 26 November 1965, today
60 years ago.

It peaked at #9 in the UK.

It was received as a transitional album, with elements of both the earlier
band’s styles, heavily blues-influenced songs power chord-driven hits.

The longplayer’s title is a mocking reference to the notorious reputation
the group had developed over the previous year, including onstage fights
and concert riots in Europe, which led to a ban on the group’s concerts
in the USA.

AllMusic: “The Kinks’ coming-of-age. Their raw early material
was being replaced by more thoughtful and sophisticated songs.”
