Any of our Scandinavian posters familiar with the Norwegian band Madrugada? A friend shared some MP3s with me and I was quite impressed.

Well, I finally found an English version of that song I was trying to translate from German, Von Hier An Blind. Turns out the group Wir sind Helden recorded it in English, French and Japanese as well. You can catch the video here.

It's in the style of The Adventures of Tintin (originally Les Aventures de Tintin), drawn and written by the Belgian writer-artist Georges Remi, a.k.a. Hergé.
Many thanks to shatterproof for trying to help me with the lyrics. Although I must admit that according to the work she and I had done, this English version is not entirely a direct translation but has been made to work with the English language. Still very nice, but I think I still prefer the German version oddly enough.

About Gainsbourg, WWS. He may have had perverse thoughts and fantasms that transpired in his work, but he was a shy, modest, and very decent man.
I think that the core of him was not perversity but despair. In particular, he always thought of himself as a failure, whatever his huge success, because he considered what he did (song writing/music/singing) to be meaningless as compared to "major art". Why did he have to stick to old conventions, I don't know.

too freaking cold!
it was 14 degrees this morning. I'm thinking sunny warm thoughts, and searching for that large shaker of salt.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Yeah, that's a pretty famous song written by Guy Clark. Lots of people have covered that one, including David Allen Coe, but The Highwaymen version is by far the most famous. Being the sort of prick that I am, I still prefer Guy Clark's own, rough-hewed original.verena wrote:Old country music. I bought a 4 CD "ballads" compilation that has one song I am crazy for, I don't know if it's famous :
"Desperados waiting for a train" - Highwayman.

A Rude 5 MLAR tour rehearsals CD incredible Pole sent me. I love it and wish I could share it on dime but I don't know how. Great versions of Invasion Hit Parade, So Like Candy, The Other Side Of Summer, Hidden Shame, Suit Of Lights & a faster, poppier Home Is Where You Hang Your Head, among others.
What this world needs is more silly men.

I was feeling adventurous this morning, so I've been listening to napster's top 99 for 2005, hearing all the stuff I'd heard about but never heard, lots that were way below my radar (which is set on soccer mom/worker bee, remember) and 3 or 4 that I had.
I might have a cherry coke with lunch. Or maybe I'll put dijon on my ham sandwich, instead of french's. The possibilities are endless!
