THE SHOW PEL

When I discovered "Everything on Black", I've immediately liked this band. Maybe because it sounds me nice I mean as my personal universe ! With "Stain" their first album - 2006 - they have reached the target and raised the bar... If I try to explain that, it significates a sort of correspondance with my music culture. In fact too hard to explain with simple words. I believe we are influenced by our story particularly with what we lived in the past. You know my background was not especially so easy. And I suppose I express it daily with a form of sorrow, a certain nostalgic approach... Damned ! In writing this comment, I realise I'm not so happy than that. But a star is lighting my sky now... I can get what I want, it depends on me. But please show me where's the love ! Does it really exist ? Some people say to me don't try to look for because it will happen when you are not expecting it... Anyway these twelve songs are so beautiful and drives me crazy in a good way. No preferences between them, I love all ! Sincerely. One of my wish is to see these four guys in France or anywhere else, UK for instance to following my dreams ! While I'm listenning "Runaway" I think my life should has built by now. I must stop running away from my fears and keep my eyes open, also my heart... Many thanks EoB for what you've done and what you offer to me... Best wishes in your near future.

That makes a long time that I did not write something here. In fact, I feel currently busy. When I come back home at night, I particularly don't want to make work my neurons. But during my rest the musicians continue to compose and interpret new songs for happiness of those who like the indie rock music. For instance, I bought the last piece of Muse which called "Black Holes and Revelations", 2006. In first, it was difficult for me because I listen this famous band since the beginning of their career in 1999 with "Showbiz" and they changed. Obviously now, they cannot play any more in the same way than before. It would be a mystake. But they changed, even if I clearly recognize their touch ! Oh baby don't you know I suffer ? I spent several weeks to get used to that and it was not a waste of time. You know, we must succeed in changing our practices, to adapt us all the time. So it may be a reason which motivated Matthew to take a bow to that he already made. And some people doesn't like this turn ! I'm not in this way, not at all. I prefer to seek where is the common point to what I'm looking for with what I liked before. Anyway I have respect for these three musicians, yes only three and together we are invicible ! For the end, no one's gonna take me alive because I am a soldier of my life and the time has unrelentingly come to make things right... Yes I like this beautiful idea until the next...

Life is a bit strange. Sometimes you believe in what you see and another time you see what you believe in. At present, I'm writting as I think. Maybe you cannot understand me but you can. True vs False. Truth vs Lie. It's just a question of willpower. I don't know why I think about this or simply because it's a free mind area from here or maybe I'm out of one's mind. Who knows ? Everybody needs to be understood. "Everybody wants to be loved". This John Cassavetes' song wasn't performed by "Venus" during their last gig in "Paris Plage". It was a pitty cause I needed to be loved ! Hopefully, they were awesome at usually even if it was the first time that I saw them on scene. They played famous songs of their last album as "Here and Now", Love and Loss", "Mother's Voice", obviously "The Red Room", I believe "Add Stars To The Sky", I'm sure " Who The Fuck Gave You This Invitation ?". And when they played "Beautifuls Days" from "Vertigone" - last but one album - the crowd started to pitch along the banks of the Seine under the bridge of Sully. What a singular feeling ! I also recognized "Wanda" but I'm not sure any more. They drove me crazy... Between technical problem with the guitar of Marc I remember that he sang without and it was famous and particularly original. Now I'm convinced these guys are brilliant, don't you think ? Stop. You must be aware ! Wake up ! It's up to you with my help... Listen and enjoy...

You're welcome in the Red Room of Venus ! And perhaps you will need some help to converge with this space... I'm your humble servant. Let me introduce you to this strange area. Contact. Here and now you ain't no aim, no need, no shame, no brain, no mother, no child... This is the begining of a new belgium story which is managing by Marc A. Huyghens, a talentuous musician and also a brilliant composer. The horizon is brightening up. Don't you see that ? Ok, straight ahead. After a fabulous album which is called "Vertigo" through I have discovered this band, they come back with a beautiful pearl in a case. Three years has been necessary to obtain this result with all it means. But now, we can enjoy it. And obviously I do. Maybe you have already travelled with their 13 songs or seen them performing in UK for example. Unfortunetly it's not my case but I cannot help thinking with desire of their final gig at Paris Plage on july 29th... I really like that ! Don't you ? Be that as it may, I try to share with you this unique atmosphere. Trust me. Yes you can. I just feel like a servant in this Red Room. Do you know what I mean ? Action...

After a sort of breather, I have decided to come back with more power than before. Yes, I feel alive even if this winter was terrifying. But with sunny days, my brain's coming better and better ! Several months ago, I've discovered one more american band which comes from San Francisco, CA. When I hear their songs I have a special feeling, different than the others. Maybe cause it's a new band from Beggars Banquet Records. Did you never intend to speak about them ? It doesn't matter. I believe I remained blocked over my years of wander or something like that. Who knows ? Nobody except me. Proud to be safe even if I came very close to disaster. Nevertheless I know that I have mental diseases, holes of memory, sometimes wild behaviour but I fight against and I win, I'll win again. If you read these words you may not understand me but please try again. I'm not a worst person, no I cannot believe that. My heart is as these tulips, ready to open out...and film school could be that a memory. Congratulations for this first record, it's perfect.

Yes, I get a kick out of listenning music and discovering new bands especially from UK. It is one of my best interest. But I don't know why even if I believe it significates a sort of communication with myself. How can I explain that ? Too hard ! Maybe I have dept in thoughts through melodies or something like that. It permits me to travel easily, in fact I enjoy to travel in my mind. I lost myself in listenning songs and be aware in the same time. What a strange feeling like a drug addiction ! I cannot imagine my world without music even if nothing's impossible. The White Rose Movement have produced their first baby which's called "Kick" in the end of last year and be sold in April 2006. It was so different than the other rock indie bands. But it must be not indie rock music ! So strange. I have heard electronic drums with a real good drummer. Ouch ! The first time I listenned them, I immediately thought to Talking Heads but with standing back I think I was wrong. I have took several days to understand and now I believe I like it particularly "Love is a number", "Alsatian", "Girls in the back" (the single) and especially "Speed"... On this song, I cannot help thinking of Depech Mode's touch. The less than I can say that is the best strangely album I have on my shelf. Maybe I'm discovering one new aspect of myself, maybe I could take risks... Thank you WRM for what you have done because it could change a slice of my life. I forgot, I enjoy bass guitar which played skeleton of songs. Thanks a lot Owen ! And also they supported The Rakes during the UK Tour in the beginning of 2006 ! Do you remember who are they ? Obviously only if you read my first english adds ! So it's a story which is crossed with another one...

Do you remember who was Venus? What a wonderful goddess of Love! But would you have to think yourself that she was Belgian? Naturally not. Since I discovered this talented band, I cannot fight against. Just for my pleasure! I like this strange mood in my nights, they are so different that front. At the beginning, I was not really convinced but as one goes along I learned how to appreciate it. You know that we have all need for a certain time to catch emotions of what we listen to. Very that I can be likely to say is that I do not regret anything of all that I did until now. With "beautiful days" they raised the bar even if we would have to confuse with another song which is called similar. Do you see what I'm talking about? In fact I live a few good days but in same time I feel pain. Which strange paralysis... With time, I need more than time but in any event we age at equal speed. We run against the watch to avoid believing in our death! For each life, there are a beginning and an end. Strangely, this album names "Vertigone" - 2003 - a vertigo! You can believe me! I hear beautiful songs and appreciate all arrangements. An approach very special and thus interesting. You should test unless you are not able to question you on yourself. It doesn't matter... I always continue to listen to this album right before considering to invest in "the red room" - 2006 - their last delivery. I am slow on the uptake, this is my truth... Thank you the Robot !

Guess what ? I feel better since I have met that blond long hair nice woman who sings and dances in my bachelor. Not only for my neighbours. I'm very cut up about this. Let me introduce you this true story... One afternoon, I decided to go out with my heart. It was a lovely time. I remember that I crossed people which were fucking around and wasting their time thus money. And I heard a voice far from me, I sped up until running to join this sign of my destiny. Some people were prevented me to access to it as if I should fight against them to touch my dream. I fought all along this awful night, sometimes good, sometimes wrong but I knew why. After that, I lost the sound of her voice because she stopped singing. How could I try to find her ? I told at everybody to give me any clues without success because I couldn't explain myself cleary. I was out of breath and I spoke a very strange language with both words and cries. My quest of her felt into the ground. I was at a loss when I took once again my heart in my hands. I run yet until I found a little place I had never seen before. And I saw her in the middle of the crowd. She was so beautiful that I couldn't see someone else. My legs shaked but I should straight ahead to exceed my strenghts. When she felt and then saw me close to her, she whispered : "I was waiting for you since a long time and I know who you are...you're borning inside my heart and you're winning my love. I will sing all the rest of this night for you". Musicians took their instruments and played rock music. It was so pure. They are "The Duke Spirit" and their first album's called "Cuts across the land". Maybe you will hear Leila on the road of your life. I wish it to you...

With their fifth baby, Placebo has succeeded a whack because everybody was waiting for them at the corner. Ten years after the beginning, they always have a special and fiery touch which sounds me nice. As usually, I have felt a strong desire to straight ahead. I really like that ! But did I forget to take my meds ? Oh no ! From now, I have bought them and I could listen this angel voice when I feel inspired. I suppose he will drag me away from the night and sleep. Maybe I will fly over the landscape or something like that. What a beautiful nightmare ! The meds effects are started. What's happened to me after ? I have nobody to help me, alone in my bedlife, just my mind to believe in ghosts. I must have self-confidence, sometimes like these days it's not obvious. But I will consume meds again and again, the sun's shining in the bottom of my ocean. I'm wet through now and I have no swim. My eyes sees fishes all around me and I'm afraid to be drowned. I hear piano music, it's so amazing. Brian plays and sings. I cannot help thinking that he's a talentuous musician or a siren because he has scale skin. Something is so pure and powerfull. I need to have nerves steel to follow him. He dares me to do it. I will have done the best I can. Maybe I will touch the coast to save my life. This is the dawn in a cold light of morning. Another day's beginning but not such as the others...

Yesterday, I was drinking several cups of coffee in a french bar and was wasting my time when I heard something good. A guy from Toulouse was putting music in encouraging everybody to drink blond and brown beers. It was a mix of art and decadence. But I'm not a drunkard. I prefer listening music, reading a fashion magazine I've bought just before, looking people in their habits and seeing "Girls in Hawaï"...!!! When he answered me which was this new group, I was not surprised. Maybe because I have already been recognizing this belgium touch which sounds me nice. Moreover, their first album "From here to there" puts these 12 melodious songs in a successful way at the beginning of the last quarter of 2003. For being accurate, Girls in Hawaï had realised a first baby which call "Winter" composed of 5 songs in the first quarter of this same year. They performed a lot of gigs and generated a real craze within the audience. However, some people had seen them by a bad eye as if criticism must be systematic ! Ough ! In my blue eyes, I believe in them because I try to be positive the most of the time. And now we are a lot of people to support them with their "dream machine"... Know what I mean ? So, I've learnt something new and glad to be who I am. I drank the end of my last coffee and smoked a cigarette with. Actually my mind is lost in the Belgium landscape with six girls in Hawaï who are dancing on tv...! What a strange and beautiful vision...

Hurry up !!! Have you already heard "In the Crossfire" the first song of the last Starsailor's album which called "On the Outside" - 2005 ? What ? I can't help thinking you're missing something good !!! Nevertheless, this english band from Lancashire - North West England - has been already playing music for a few years... Maybe should you remember of their first international success with "Four to the floor" ??? Oh my God, but what could you make in the last years to pass beside this group full with talent ? Nothing like me !!! The only difference comes that I saw them supporting U2 in Paris - Stade de France - last summer and it was so good. I like it. However, they are not beginners... With "Love is here" - 2001 - you must catch the train of your life or feel like an immigrant who are seeking something he cannot explain and with "Silence is easy" - 2003 - it permits to see your reflect in the water as a naturel mirror which can be make cloudy by a hand or something else and become clearly again until the end... I don't know why I'm often speaking about water, perhaps it will be my destiny ? Or because I feel afraid about it even if I have to swim. Maybe I'm not a good sailor !!! Laugh... It doesn't matter... In fact, I like these four musicians because they seem to be honest, natural and also simple. I believe in one of several main life values which named humility and I think they communicate with. Just a little bit strange event : they will performed in Paris - Elysée Montmartre - monday 3rd april... Keep an eye on them...
