The first 5-star album on ROLLING STONE Weekly? Jan and Maik are enthusiastic about Paul Simon’s late work “Seven Psalms”, in which the legendary songwriter reflects on his transience, on God (or his absence), on love, on finiteness – or the infinity of life.
The episode also follows another old master, Martin Scorsese, presenting his new film at the Cannes Film Festival. And we talk about two big albums turning ten this week – Daft Punk’s ‘Random Access Memories’ and Vampire Weekend’s ‘Modern Vampires of the City’ – and discuss their influence and importance.
