Monoclinic 39 Posted July 16, 2007 I would appear I need glasses, the sign said PASCAL DEMAN BREL in such a way that I interpreted it to be Demain Pascal Brel as the Pascal and Brel were the same colour and size but Deman...oh excuses excuses... I think I can safely say it will be some Wallon singing in the songs of Brel. Saw an advert outside a bar today that says Pascal Brel will be playing tomorrow night. I wonder if he is any relation to the famous Belgian who donne(s) his name to this thread - can anyone tell me? No relation, as far as I know, though Brel does have a nephew called Bruno who's a singer-songwriter. Incidentally, Jackie's is one of only 3 people to feature in the Top 10 Greatest Belgians list as voted for by both the Flemish and the Walloons, so he's a real national treasure.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,463 Posted July 16, 2007 How can any country expect to be taken seriously when half of them go around calling themselves the Walloons? I thought that was the name of one of the races of baddies in Gulliver's Travels. Or was Gulliver the baddy? As I remember, Gulliver was a sort of Everyman who grows increasingly cynical and misanthropic as he meets different peoples who broadly represent different types of -ocracies. But it's been ages since I read it so I could be wide of the mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 107 Posted July 17, 2007 Ladies and gentleman this is the name of this thread. > Jacques Brel's Immitation Jelly Jewellery, Euterpean indgulence for muzique enthusiasts 3 words. What - The - f**k. Seriously. To be perfectly honest I have no idea what this thread means or what it stands for. I think the person that decided to carefully select the name of this thread seems to be like a very affluent - flamboyant - word f*****g - eccentric - rebel that is trying to promote his or her top cat vocabulary and the bottom line is it's not raising the eye brow with me. So cut the sh*t and change the name of this thread and call it Hi do you make sense? I don't! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who nose, perhaps to bond with others on this most Flemish of threads is what I Handker. Chief reason for this post however is to get something off my chest. My sides, nurse, a suture.

Monoclinic 39 Posted July 17, 2007 Hi do you make sense? I don't! This is what I take home from the message. At least self-appraisal gets a ten out of ten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 107 Posted July 17, 2007 This is what I take home from the message. At least self-appraisal gets a ten out of ten. O I make sense. In fact I'm very clear like crystals. It's to bad Louis Braille couldn't see that clear but we are all born with challenges! So Monoclinic drop your purse and grab your hips and listen and bring your attention right on the money because people in real life don't use this English or maybe I should just call it a language!! Alright it's just the name of the thread and I didn't lose any sleep over it. It's just unusual that's all. It's just not everyday. It's not very common. That's all.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,463 Posted July 17, 2007 Lest we forget, this is still the DL's premier music thread. So, this is the best that 2007 has to offer then? I am distinctly feeling my age when I say that of these albums I've only heard the Arctic Monkeys (it's OK), the Klaxons (it's not OK) and the Pony Club (typical Brit indie hyped rubbish), so I hope the Basquiat Strings with Seb Rochford take the honours, whoever they might be. At least M People won't win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 107 Posted July 17, 2007 In so many words this is the direction music has taken in my opinion over from circa 1965 - to now. 1965 - - - - - - - - - 1970 - - - - - - 1975 - - - - - - - - 1980 - - - - - - - 1985 - - - - - - 1990 - - - - - - 1995 - - - 2000 - - 2005 _ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Defarge 21 Posted July 18, 2007 The only music I really dislike is new style R&B. It's not that I don't get it, it's just that there's no 'it' there to get. It's like you listen and wait for something to happen and it just keeps blathering on, something like this post. BTW, I think it's high time Edith Piaf got her moment in the title of this thread, just a suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,132 Posted July 22, 2007 I'm REALLY sick of that crappy umber - fekin - ella. I wish someone would shove it down her fekin throat Am I missing something here? Actually, I read that several times and did not understand what it all meant. For some reason, later on, I thought it may be something to do with a record that is at No 1 in the charts, and has been forever,I was right. Considering the fact that I believe that music died in 1984, this crappy tune does not grate on me at all because I havent actually heard it.

Banshees Scream 107 Posted September 9, 2007 If anybody is interested the legendary Led Zeppelin returns for a gig. Jason Bonham at drums and Jimmy Page is beginning to look more like a Japanese man everyday but regardless, the guy knows how to rip up the guitar. John Paul Jones is also very underrated and a excellent bassist http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertai...icle2939944.ece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
