In the age of radio hobbyists, I set up a radio station.

In the era of Zines, I had a Zine where I wrote and drew.

We discovered what was happening through letters and tapes exchanged with other continents.

In the era of Blogs, I had a blog with many visitors. I was, so to speak, a prehistoric influencer.

And now I have this website, which I will soon be transforming into something else.

Those who read the blog will remember that I always posted some unknown bands.

And I did a rudimentary translation with what I knew of the languages.

The translations weren't very good, I admit.

Then I wrote to those people asking them to send me the lyrics of the song *L'Amour Le Jour*.

It wasn’t common for bands to publish translations of lyrics along with the songs back then.

And there was no artificial intelligence to do an automatic translation like it works today.

They said “hello,” gave me permission to publish the song, but didn’t send me any translation.

However, I was a fan of the three of them, and I published the song with the title: *Le Couler: L'Amour Le Jour: Madness is mere nonsense*.

Because, from my point of view, the music video was pure madness, and they were three crazy people, but doing something brilliant.

Let’s remember that until 2010, the internet was a thing for the rich and for those who had a computer.

And the post was a big success. It gathered, within the limits of the time, a lot of audience.

2,000 views in the first hour. I went out to have a few beers.

I don't know how many views the post had in the first 24 hours.

And it had a great impact on them in Canada as well, because they are Canadian.

So the next day, I had all the material I requested.
