Katie Melua encore........


Paysages de France

Recommended Posts

I have nothing further to add....if there are people out there who take this singer seriously - then I seriously suggest they consult a psychiatrist - or, they procure themselves with a quick fix of some decent music.

   In France, it's very simple - since 1987, 'Les Inrockuptibles' - the most British biased of the French music/culture weeklies (latterly monthly) has been extolling the virtues of the British music scene........

     In answer to Katie Mulea, for instance, this week they propose - The Klaxons, The Arcade Fire, The Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Rufus Wainwright, Bat for Lashes, and  yes .........Mika (pas mal du tout)...........

 Do your musical tastes match your vehicle preference?

 Actually, I did once own a Ford Anglia for a few months  and drove it to Istanbul and back, listening to Van Morrison (Astral Weeks) all the way. No major problems apart from losing the exhaust system in Yougoslavia, a country where,  four years later, in 1977,  I became stuck 'with hardly a dinar' just like in the song by Roy Harper 'Nobody's got any money in the summer'.

Expressing all life's experiences by pap musak is like a sort of downmarket Nick Hornby novel!

Worrying....................[blink]

So you think Katie Melua is crap too, so you have something in common with PsG after all!  [8-|]

  I'm only making comments about pop music here because everytime I mention more serious issues they are either removed  immediately or the campaign that I'm involved in is ridiculed (and this right from the start).

  For the record (no pun intended): four more giant, illegal advertising signs (20m wide 15m high) have been removed in Montauban these past few days thanks to our efforts. ('Géant Casino' and a massive, ugly sign for  the swimming pool suppliers 'Irrijardin' - you'll probably all be blaming me now because you can't find where to top up on your swim pool chemicals !)

'Gluestick's' message concludes with  'worrying'  and  the little smily that follows  (these visual aids are apparently for the benifit of people not used to reading and who  need   the meaning of a text explained to them, as Clair, (or maybe it was  Russet House) once explained to me  )  ...........

Oh? I'd misunderstood, then. I'd assumed it was you being ridiculed, not the campaign. [blink]

I fear the PdF effect is spreading.

Is it a sort of virus, contracted from advertising hoardings??[8-)]

This was PdF's post aimed, one can only presume at Ford Anglia.

Here is my riposte.

And then dear Pearly, you wrote:

Where did I say that or even hint at it??

PdF quotes Van Morrison; and then Roy Harper.

Is this some sort of Esparanto code for Katie Melua?

Who needs Enigma machines!

(Gluey puts on Thunderer on Sunday crossword and anagram head..............)

Now, let's see,

Van: hmm, Ford Anglia van with Morris engine. Son of Morris, must be BMW who now make the mini.

Now Roy Harper must have something to do with Roy Rogers who had a horse called trigger, with four legs (well, I think he had four legs??) and Harper must be the way PdF harps on about advertising signage.

Ergo, It's a four legged sign for BMW minis outside Royale le Bain!

Cor wee! [geek]

N.B. I think I'd better leave this thread before it sends me mad..........too!

I had thought that your statement 'Expressing all life's experiences by pap musak is like a sort of downmarket Nick Hornby novel!' I was mistaken. You need to lighten up a bit Gluestick, and by the way I am not your 'dear' nor will I ever be. It is very strange how passionate you become over PdF.[;-)]

Oh dear!

We have two now!

Your comment is illogical, Mate and fails to make sense. Read it again and perhaps edit it?

Tip.Would be helped by adding should, ought, could, would, may, can, can't, won't, etc, imediately after "novel!"; and thereafter some additional words to make grammatical sense.

However why bother if you are having fun?

Is this part of the forum rapidly becoming the psychiatric ward?

JE dear[:D], when I desire some auditory stimulation, I creep off to Youtube and listen to things like Herman Lang pedalling the W125 Merc around the original Nurburgring; or the rare footage they have of the D Type Auto Union.

Of  Hawthorn in a Jag D Type providing both a lap and a commentary of Le Mans.........and.................and.

Cor!
