Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted January 15, 2016 [cut for space] Plastic Bertrand - Ça plane pour moi Really? Honestly? "Ca Plane Pour Moi"? Is this a Benelux thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 15, 2016 [cut for space] Plastic Bertrand - Ça plane pour moi Really? Honestly? "Ca Plane Pour Moi"? Is this a Benelux thing? Hold it bucko! I 'liked' Magere's post on the strength of a few songs/artist listed I had forgotten or thought about and passed upon, and Ça Plane Pour Moi was the latter. Great 'French Beach Boys' song (I read that description somewhere once and felt it impeccable in perfection). SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted January 15, 2016 There is no song I cannot go the rest of my life without hearing. I seldom play music, mostly I only listen to music on the TV in David Bowie tribute type programmes or old Top of The Pops on BBC4 The reason being is, I have damaged hearing, and any loud noise causes a severe crackling sound in my right ear. I damaged my hearing by firing a pistol in a confined space. All those TV shows and movies that show people firing pistols and the sound is tolerable are utter shite.

I damaged my hearing by firing a pistol in a confined space. All those TV shows and movies that show people firing pistols and the sound is tolerable are utter shite. Being a technological idiot, I remain behind the times and a creature of habit by choice. I have a combo VCR-DVD that works great. So at home I pop in a CD on the DVD side and have a listen through the stereo through my amp. However I COULD forget the amp and listen through my TV (treating the CD like a DVD) and have done so a few times. Long winded way of saying Tempus Fugit would that be a possible solution, as it seems you ARE able to tolerate the TV audio? SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 24, 2016 Forgot 'Radar Love' by Golden Earring, for my money may well be the best rock n roll song written. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted January 24, 2016 Ach weel I'm a soppy wench: John Martyn 'Road to Ruin' and 'Solid Air' and I've a weird hankering for Odessa by Les Freres Gibb... tickles me bits to hear the following lyric 'Cherub, I lost the ship on the Baltic Sea, I'm on an iceberg running free'.
