  1. 🇸🇪 ABBA "The Visitors" – 1981

    The Visitors is ABBA’s final studio album and shows them at their darkest and arguably at their most adventurous. Created at a time when both of ABBA’s marriages had ended and the atmosphere around the group had changed dramatically and themes of loneliness, separation, fear and political uncertainty are to be found on the album ...

  2. Alice Deejay – Who Needs Guitars Anyway? (2000, Netherlands)

    In case the previous spotlight contained too much guitar for your liking, the next stop on our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums is number 1117 on The List, submitted by Yuki. This is the sole studio album from the Euro/dance/trance pop project that features a handful of young Dutch DJs, Judy aka Judith Anna Pronk on vocals, and a single that is still lighting up dance floors and saxophone-playing sasquatches 25+ years later.

    Do you think you're better off alone?

  3. Alice Deejay – Who Needs Guitars Anyway? (2000, Netherlands)

    Our next spotlight is on number 1117 on The List, submitted by @Yuki.

    I chose this spotlight next simply because I thought it would be funny to juxtapose an album that is primarily all about guitars (see our previous spotlight on Vini Reilly) with an album that is completely lacking in that gorgeous stringed instrument. Now, I can see, see it in your eyes, that you think you’re better off alone, that you got to get away, got to move away from this album. But, there’ll be no more lies if we don’t deny what this album means now. That you want this back in your life, want it back by your side, ’cause that’s where it belongs. And it, it won’t give you up, it will never stop, its bop is much too strong.

    So, do you think you’re better off alone? I mean, a particularly unique album among all the late 90s/early 00s Euro/dance/trance pop this may not be, and, sure, it was the group’s only studio album. But, is it a great example of that era and style that will still get your body moving, over a quarter of a century later? Yes. And does it have a banger of a single that still holds up? Heck yes! I mean, this album wasn’t given the Music On Vinyl treatment for its 25th anniversary for nothing. Also, saxophone-playing sasquatches know what’s up.[1]

    The question is: which album cover is better? And, how did the Internet get a hold of this mash-up with Eurythmics’ “Here Comes The Rain Again” that (I thought) was only in my brain?! Also, is anyone going to any of the upcoming Alice DJ shows this fall?!!

    I close my eyes, I am music, I am rhythm, I’m a DJ

  4. RE: eldritch.cafe/@SallyStrange/11

    For my non-francophone friends, allow me to explain why the lyrics are clever and funny: the first line, which Theodora repeats several times, goes like this:

    Baby boo, tu sais, je vaux beaucoup
    Même si parfois je ne joins pas les deux bouts
    C'est à cause d'mon fiak, il éloigne trop mes g'noux
    Et mes gros seins me font souvent mal au cou

    Baby boo, you know I'm worth a lot
    Even if sometimes I can't make ends meet
    It's cuz my ass is so big, it pushes my knees apart
    And my big breasts often hurt my neck

    And if you're wondering why she's saying "BBL" so often, it's because she refers to herself as "Big Boss Lady."

    We love a punny queen!

  5. Theodora, new pop singer/rapper from Congo/Switzerland/France, has taught me a new French word: "fiak". It means "ass," and wikipedia says that's derived from the creole for "faire caca" which means "take a shit."

    I feel so cultured.

    Here's the song. It's a bop.

  7. 🇪🇸 Mecano "Descanso Dominical" – 1988

    Synth-driven arrangements meet refined songwriting, balancing romantic drama with polished production. The album captures Mecano at their creative peak and cemented their status as one of Spain’s most important pop acts leading to the solo career of Ana Torroja...

  8. Canción bastante desconocida de Modern Talking, pero para mí la mejor.

    "The Night Is Yours - The Night Is Mine", de 1985.

    “Das Omen” - Mysterious Art

    Summer ‘89, I’m idly listening to the radio, where Ross King is on. Playing European hits, and this is the German number one.

    •This• is Europop? Can’t be: it’s groovy and contemporary and far better than Jive Bunny.

    In coming months, they’ll play “Lambada” months before it was a hit, and give props to Céline Dion and Mylène Farmer.

  11. Estamos rompiendo lo rompedor de tanto usarlo, de esperarlo. Todo no puede ser un golpe sobre la mesa tal y como lo deseamos o necesitamos.

    Hay que diversificar, tenemos que educarnos a saber valorar, a saber escuchar, tocar, ver, sentir.

    Que Dopamine no es el regreso que se espera de Robyn y blablablá. ¿Hace un Do It Again a tu medida, chiqui? Ya lo hizo. Fue cuando era otra. Tú también lo serías si hubieses evolucionado, o si te permitieses una mijica de introspección.

    Llevo más de diez días entre Dopamine y la vida. Me ha convencido. Le tomé el punto. Me tomó el pulso.

    Un porrón de años después de Honey, mucho más después de imprescindibles como Monument o una Call your Girlfriend que debo haber desgastado ya, Robyn anticipa su vuelta a las novedades (que no a los escenarios) musicales con esta pista.

    Pese a contar con su productor de confianza, Dopamine sí es nueva. Quizá de ahí el desconcierto de parte del público. La canción transmite un ímpetu maduro, contenido, sin subidones fáciles ni efectismos baratos.

    La base casi pulsátil mueve la canción entera, siempre feliz, dando la vuelta a la buena onda y vuelta a comenzar. Si la dejan. Si dejan de buscar en ella giros de antaño. Si se encierran la nostalgia por un rato en el orto.

    Llama la atención en los créditos el nombre de Taio Cruz, ese que repartió dinamita y rompió corazones con Ludacris con tracks machacones en otra vida. Aparece como coautor. ¿Qué habrá aportado? Cabe recordar que colaboró con Kylie en su momento, no fue nada destacable pero Robyn no es su primera diva pop.

    Cierto que Dopamine no inventa nada. Tampoco diría que hubiera tenido hueco en discos antiguos. Tiene la magia del momento, si no el germen sí el desarrollo. Lo que hace lo realiza muy bien. Esta dopamina se te sube, si la dejas.

  12. This is why people clamour for a centralized network. Thats why people joined #bluesky because in the past there were apps that let you talk to anyone. In 2009, on World of Warcraft, I could talk to people all over the world.

    Even on sacred fedi, hard as I may try, I cannot claim its as good at building community as 2009 WoW. And #fedi is a good community tool and it has had a good impact on my life.

    But a long time ago I learned a trick. Lets say I learned it in sociology school. You look around the room and ask, who isn't here? Who isn't being heard?

    And I know that problem can be solved. But I have never seen it solved by writing code.

  16. Can't believe I'm really going to MSG to see Gims in a couple days!

    In honor of that I'll be posting some more of my favorite Gims music videos. Like this one, "Tout donner", which depicts your basic Bonnie and Clyde love story

    Ne me demande pas la Lune
    J'ai beaucoup mieux pour toi
    Mes pas sont lourds
    Parce que j'ai beaucoup pris sur moi
    Ton regard brille pour moi
    Ce que t'as dans la poitrine, c'est à moi
    Ton regard brille pour moi
    Ce que t'as dans la poitrine, c'est à moi

    Don't ask me for the moon
    I have much better for you
    My steps are heavy
    Because I have taken on so much
    Your gaze shines for me
    What's in your chest, that's for me

    Allez je t'ai tout donné
    Tout donné
    Tout donné
    Tout donné
    Tu es tout ce que j'ai
    Tout ce que j'ai
    Tout ce que j'ai
    Tout ce que j'ai

    Go on, I gave given you everything
    everything given
    everything given
    You are all I have
    all I have
    all I have
    all I have

  17. Might as well start off with some Steps. This is a cover of a song that failed to make it through Melodifestivalen (Swedish Eurovision selection) and man Steps and their producers did a brilliant job with it. One of my all-time favourite europop songs.

  19. Ok, things have settled, #Eurovision is over. Yea #Swiss & #Croatia, you have great song. Wasn't #Armenia the best song? But it's ethnic.

    Armenia, keep up what you are doing. Don't go #Europop.
