Posted on by JL

28 May 2026

Band: AIR
1995-present

Album: 10 000 HZ LEGEND
The French synth duo’s 2nd LP was released
on 28 May 2001, today 25 years ago.

AllMusic said: “10,000 Hz Legend is a darker work, just as contemplative
and unhurried as its predecessor, but part of a gradual move from drifting,
almost pastoral melancholia to a downright post-modern helplessness in
league with Radiohead.”

It peaked at #7 in the UK, and #3 on the US Dance Album Charts.

Top singles from the past

3 December 2023

Rod The Mod scored hit after hit in the 70s, as happened also
with DO YA THINK I’M SEXY? that topped the UK Charts 45 years
ago today.

A successful lawsuit for plagiarism by Brazilian musician Jorge Ben
was filed because the chorus of Stewart‘s song had been derived
from Ben‘s composition Taj Mahal.

Stewart agreed to donate all his royalties from
the song to United Nations Children’s Fund.

No Pension Yet For Former 78-Year-Old Rock ‘n’ Roll Face ROD THE MOD

Posted on by JL

ROD STEWART, born Roderick David Stewart 78 years ago lost his wild rock
hairs a long time ago. Over the years he decided to become a smooth crooner.
Whatever, we still have his now-and-then stupendous 60s/70s records (Faces
and solo) to get us going.

Like this one.
