I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space

And when you’re out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too much, hm

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly

Outspoken British pop superstar LOLA YOUNG started her conquering career back in 2019. Uptil today she released 3 albums and scored a monster hit with MESSY in 2024 (more than 1,1 miilion streams on Spotify).

She’s now busy working on new music and talks
about it with Rolling Stone Magazine. Read here.

On the cover she looks cool as punk fuck again, just after making
a ton of donuts to go with the interview. I’m sure Homer Simpson

DAFT PUNK – French Electro Disco Duo Released Second Album ‘DISCOVERY’ Today 25 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

12 March 2026

French electro disco tandem DAFT PUNK released
their 2nd full-length DISCOVERY on 12 March 2001,
today 25 years ago.

The album marked a shift from the Chicago house style of their
debut Homework from 1997 to a house style more heavily inspired
by disco, post-disco, garage house, and R&B.

Thomas Bangalter (hamf of DP) described the LP as an exploration
of song structures, musical forms and childhood nostalgia, compared
to the “raw” electronic music of Homework.

Q Magazine (former reknowed British music monthly): “Discovery is vigorous
and innovative in its exploration of old questions and spent ideals. Aa towering,
persuasive tour de force that transcends the dance label with no shortage of
ideas, humour, or brilliance.’

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

12 March 2026

It seems like ages ago since R.E.M. (1980-2011) was one of the greatest bands on
this planet. After 31 years and 15 LPs they went into history as a once in a lifetime
rock and pop sensation.

One of their best and most successful longplayers is, undoubtedly, their 7th one,
named OUT OF TIME. It was released today 35 years ago, on 12 March 1991.

It featured their giant hit Losing My Religion (almost 2 billion – !! – streams on Spotify).
It was the group’s first No. 1 full-length in the UK. It also topped the charts in the US
and several European countries and sold over 18 million copies worldwide.

Rolling Stone praised the record for achieving a balance between new mainstream
appeal and the band’s original identity, writing, “R.E.M. have managed to simultaneously branch out and consolidate their strengths.”
