Arcade Fire - Crown of Love

I don't scare easily. I can see the fun in schlager, Heino is a hero. I mean, who can resist a song like this? There's a few things I hate with a passion though. Kings of Leon, boy, those guys are aweful. They are so incredibly phoney, I can't believe anybody buys that crap. They're all fake? I don't like John Mayer either, and I hate the modern queen of Good Taste: Katie Melua. I think I can safely say that I can't stand anything that takes itself too serious. Nearly, might be a better thing to say.

viewtopic.php?f=77&t=798121 We already have a topic about good covers.

Sounds you had a great weekend, Assassin! Glad you enjoyed Fleet Foxes. :) You didn't see Nick Cave (I assume you were at glastonbury)?

Not all, but certainly more than there should have been. But part of the fun is seeing the jokes in their correct context, which trailers cannot effectively do. I liked the randomness of how they were presented in the trailer. Seeing the things in their right context only made them less funny for me.

I don't really know what's coming out. That GI Joe movie looks pretty funny, and of course Nine. New Scorsese is always good.

#4 Beeroth Fantastic music. Everybody should hear it!. :XD:

I think I would've just cracked up laughing if I ever heard that at a concert, to be honest. He meant it as a joke, of course. :P

I now realize that their music is very boring. For a live setting at least. We didn't stay for the encore. I think the rest of the people had a very good time, I wondered why. The highlight of the concert was their lead man telling the crowd "Shhh! Shhh! There's serious music going on here!" when he was going to do a solo performance and the (very annoying crowd) was Shhh'ing.

Hm, had two good picks in Amsterdam yesterday. An out of print Pasolini box. It also has the book A Violent Life with it. It's nice because I bought it new for 20,-, when I checked amazon I saw it was out of print and was sold on the market place for 60 pound and more. : I also got the box with every Adriaan Ditvoorst made (shorts and feature length). :thumbsup:

I'm from Holland, so I speak Dutch. :) These movies aren't very common here in Holland, it's just that I'm interested in movies, and so I get to see them. It's just as in every other country. And how find them? It just happens. It's pretty logical, because for every movie you see you get five new ones. Also reading books about movies helps, and I also browse through catalogues from Criterion, Masters of Cinema, Blue Underground, BFI etc. I also use What I iWatch (I think the standard language is Dutch, when you register you can change the inferface to English trough options) where a lot of people fill in what movies they have seen, that way you can discover new things as well. The Antonioni movie I posted earlier today was at the Antonioni Retrospective they have in the Hague this month. What language they are in depends on the film, most of the time it is in its original language, but some movies are synchronised. For example a lot of Italian cult movies from the seventies are synchronised in English.

I wonder what it is that makes people go crazy about acts like La Roux, Little Boots and stuff like that. Their music doesn't sound really unique to me, but for some reason the magazines are wild about them. Fleet Foxes tonight. Yay.

Il Mistero di Oberwald I went to the Hague for this one. This was going to be brilliant, or it was going to be terrible. I mean, a Jean Cocteau play made into a movie by Antonioni, that can either be fantastic or incredibly boring. Unfortunately it was the latter. There was a lot of talking about not too interesting things. Visually the movie had some interesting ideas, too bad Antonioni doesn't go all the way. I gave it 4 out of 10. Vanishing Point So, after the dissaspointing Oberwald we went to the house of a friend. He has a blu-ray player and a HD beamer. They movie looked fantastic, you will most likely never get it this good in cinema. :) The movie itself was great as well. It's beautiful, fast, cool, funny and a great soundtrack. What else do we want? 9 out of 10.

Both are 52. Why?

I'm afraid I can't provide a source, you have to take my word.

John Zorn - Invocation

You immediately convince me. Really, it's all fake. You shouldn't believe everything they put in the liner notes. I know you shouldn't believe everything that is said. That's why I don't believe you. You don't provide any kind of source. And in terms of credibility, I think the other posts make more sense. Well, then you won't believe me. I don't care. You go out yelling Van Halen did that solo, I know better.

No, all made up. Trust me.

Jesus, this has got to be some of the greatest guitaring I've ever heard. :o

No, he didn't.

John Zorn - Music for Children #3 Music for Children hm, pretty disturbing piece.

I bought some asperin today. The woman asked me if I knew how to use it? I thought: yes, 10 at a time and stick 'm up my anus, right? But I just said: yes. But what a strange question to ask a grown up man: do you know how to use asperin? Hm.
