7774. jexster - 5/14/2005 6:56:44 PM And the ever-populaire Jolie Blon
Jolie blonde, regardez donc quoi t'as fait,
Tu m'as quitte pour t'en aller,
Pour T'en aller avec un autre, oui, que moi,
Quel espoir et quel avenir, mais, moi, je vais avoir?
Jolie blonde, tu m'as laisse, moi tout seul,
Pour t'en aller chez ta famille.
Si t'aurais pas ecoute tos les conseils de les autres
tu serait ici-t-avec moi aujourd 'hui
Jolie blonde, tu croyais il y avait just toi,
Il y a pas just toi dans le pays pour moi aimer.
Je peux trouver just une autre jolie blonde,
Bon Dieu sait, moi, j'ai un tas.
In English
Pretty blond, look at what you've done,
You left me to go away,
to go away with another, yes, than me,
What hope and what future am I going to have?
Pretty blond, you've left me all alone
To go back to your family.
If you had not listened to all the advice of the others
You would be here with me today.
Pretty blond, you thought there as just you,
There is not just you in the land to love me.
I can find another pretty blond,
Good God knows, I have a lot.

Elle me prend pareil qu’un amoureux.
Ah that's poetry. 7776. alistairConnor - 5/19/2005 8:44:25 PM 
Oh la what have I done.
I've been meaning to get around to buying tickets for BB King, I've never yet seen him, and you always regret when you had the chance and then they die... and Taj Mahal on the same bill...
I just checked out the Jazz à Vienne web site and of course that concert is sold out already. Bugger.
So I thought : what about George Clinton instead? ... What about Chick Corea? What about Oscar Petersen? The Cuban evening, or the Louisiana gospel evening? the Brazilians?
... so I went and bought season tickets, any seven concerts.
AND I get to see BB!
7777. judithathome - 5/19/2005 10:56:26 PM Congrats, Alistair!
And I snagged a great #! 7778. wabbit - 5/23/2005 8:10:31 PM I don't know if JJ or CharlieL lurk here anymore, but if they do, there is a nice little program they might want to check out now that mp3.com has changed their format.
Radio.blog lets you create a playlist and stream it from a website. The basic program requires a server that allows PHP and XML, but there are ways around the PHP. I was thinking they could create playlists of their original music and stream it from their websites, so folks could hear what they do.
It's a little involved to get set up, but a bit of patience and some website know-how will get you through. The directions available with the program leave a lot to be desired, imo, but I can write up what I ended up doing for anyone who might be interested. Don't mind the playlist I'm using, it's some of what was on this computer at the time. I suppose I should edit the playlist to display the band names...maybe another time. 7779. wabbit - 5/30/2005 7:32:19 PM Nine Inch Nails has dropped out of the MTV Movie Awards after clashing with the network over an image of President Bush that the band planned as a performance backdrop, The Associated Press reported. The image was to accompany the song "The Hand That Feeds," which obliquely criticizes the war in Iraq. MTV said in a statement to its news division that the network was disappointed that the band would not perform at the awards, to air on June 9, but had been "uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement." The Foo Fighters will perform instead. Trent Reznor, above, the leader of Nine Inch Nails, said on the band's Web site that the image of the president would have been unaltered. "Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me," he said. 7780. arkymalarky - 5/31/2005 10:33:17 PM Music right now is extremely political--more than it was in the '60s, imo. MTV can't have it both ways, though they've been trying their stupid balancing act ever since they started. 7781. Macnas - 6/1/2005 8:35:59 AM MTV practising outright political censorship? Is that kind of like bleeping out swearing?
Assholes, them and their crap station. They don't even play music anymore, just wander around inside peoples houses and fix up peoples cars. Might as well be the Home & Leisure channel. 7782. arkymalarky - 6/1/2005 4:31:06 PM Hahaha! Isn't that the truth. I watch a very little of MTV2, and I have watched Fuse, which has begun getting really crappy. Now there's the International Music Feed, which plays too few videos over and over, but that may improve as it gets on its feet. I just want a channel that does music videos, period. VH1 Classic is great for what it is, but I like the modern stuff, too. 7783. arkymalarky - 6/1/2005 4:31:47 PM Bob hates videos--he just likes audio. But I like music videos a lot. 7784. Macnas - 6/2/2005 8:29:06 AM I listen to more music than watch video, but I do appreciate a good one when I see it. Something hard to do watching MTV these days.
We get a different version of MTV here, and it plays very little music.
7785. arkymalarky - 6/2/2005 3:58:43 PM I dunno. MTV here plays no music that I know of. MTV2 (a separate channel) plays a little. 7786. webfeet - 6/2/2005 5:14:56 PM Has anyone else taken the trip to Philly to see the Salvador Dali show? Wabbit? It just closed at the end of May after a week's extension.
It was an extravaganza as outsized as Dali's ego. Impressario, madman, magician, choreographer, genius--whatever Dali's legacy it is clear after viewing the body of his work, particularly his early work, that he was above all, a master painter adopting his classical style through various movements.
Even if you don't go in for that peculiar fetishistic surrealism of his later works--the melting clocks and all that, which have unfortunately characterized his work at large, it is the discovery of the unconscious forces and obsessions that drove him which give them a frightening power. There is a hideous biological emptiness to many of these pieces as if the overriding desires of mankind were the same as insects, such as the female devouring the male after copulation. (a recurring nightmare of Dali's, the ultimate expression of commitment anxiety or homophobia depending on how you look at it)
7787. wabbit - 6/2/2005 5:24:46 PM Damn, I forgot it was closing in May. 7788. jayackroyd - 6/2/2005 6:48:18 PM The Max Ernst show at the Met may be more interesting. I enjoyed that more than I expected to. 7789. wonkers2 - 6/8/2005 5:57:46 PM Class Divisions in American Literature Here 7790. Macnas - 6/9/2005 4:49:53 PM "He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru"
Name the song and the singer..
7791. wabbit - 6/9/2005 5:32:41 PM Been watching Hellboy, Mac?
"You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen..." 7792. Ms. No - 6/9/2005 5:53:10 PM Mac,
Nick Cave: Red Right Hand
Awesome tune! 7793. Ms. No - 6/9/2005 5:59:24 PM Wabz,
They put it on a compliation disc of X-Files music as well -- which is how I originally heard it. RRH and Down in the Park by the Foo Fighters were my favorite cuts off that compilation album. Most of it was kind of lame if I remember correctly, but it was worth it for those two songs alone.
