Feedback 2 - The Seventies.

Feedback 3 - The Eighties (I think this could be brilliant).

1990 onwards would need to be a double A side single.


Some bands do covers well, Rush did not. I'll pass.

Watching Top Boy, season 3 now, the 1st Netflix driven season.
I like it, the drama seems somewhat genuine. It's a no winner type of story, which I like

With the wife we're watching Yellowstone. I am always well behind the masses when it comes to things like this.

Never expected this would happen anyway.
I can only imagine he's sick of being asked the question all the time.
Put it to bed people, it's over.

Plural forms are rare as well, at least I have not seen any unless plural and single form are the same. That probably affects the number as well?

I didn't think they did that kind of word, so I was a little surprised to see them all turn green. Ho hum.

Feels like they are running out of options.

This is a big dilemma indeed. For people coming to our country to work or live, we ask for them to learn Dutch (residency that is). But the biggest issue is the Dutch themselves: we nearly all speak English - similar to your experience in Japan, but then the exact opposite. Dutch is not the easiest language toi learn but if no one speaks it to you, it is impossible to figure out.

Just back from the Masters of Reality gig. Chris Goss injured himself a couple of days ago so he to sit.
Show itself was good, kicking off with the Blue Garden is a winner of course. He had Alain Johannes in guitar so they played Hanging Tree. Lots of MoR classics passed by, mostly from the debut.
My favourite song of theirs they did as well: Third Man on the Moon, brilliant, that made my evening  :)

Hooray Arensman, a fantastic result for my fellow countryman.
Ganna wasn't to bad either.

Fantastic opener, then it went downhill fast.
Took me a couple of minutes to come up with line 4, did no know the word but it stuck. Had to look it up.

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Nell' Ora Blu
Right, this is a bit ehm.. different. Uncle Acid is a lo fi metal band, doing their best Sabbath. Actually they do that very good and the albums preceding this one is just that: a collection of songs, sounding like Sabbath Just look them up and listen to a snippet, you know what I mean then, it sounds a bit like you listen to a metal album through your phone.
Anyway, the new one, with a weird title, is a smorgasbord of styles leaning on a faux film script for an Italian movie, complete with actors reading scenes. They pull out everything, metal, psychedelic stuff saxophones, you name it: it's there. And somehow..it works. In fact, it is fantastic. I really don't know how to describe it better, it's one of those things you need to hear it to believe it.
