So, what have you been listening to lately?

She really needs some distortion on that.

Maybe Joey can lend her something?

Finally a decent version of that song:

Not shrill enough to be a Robert Plant clone.

OMG, the Mongol hordes!



Never mind how Shan Yu tried to kill Mulan, I have two of The Hu's albums. If you read the translations of their lyrics though, they haven't left their raid & pillage heritage quite behind yet.

It does less sexual innuendo-filled ooohs and aaahs too. And has the decency
and decorum to keep its waist and torso covered with feathers.

In terms of sexiness, they were about on the same level for me, with Nena possibly having a very slight edge.  There was no contest going on, but I guess that's just the way my brain was perceiving things.  There was a lot to process for hormone-driven males. 

UWE's EDIT:Michael in all his innocence was led astray by me, this belongs to the "I can relate"-thread and can be found there now as well.

wrong topic?

Uwe's edit: Nothing escapes a Dutchman's eyes and arcane logic!

If we assume that Michael really meant to compare Robert Plant's with (Mulan's nemesis) Shan Yu's respective sexual allure to him, then he did not stray (that) far. Hormone-driven brains work that way.

PS: Actually, I am as usual the guilty party. Michael's hormones would have kept him on the straight and narrow had my previous Flying Colors post (intended for this "So what have you been listening to lately"-thread and now belatedly moved to and included below, but initially in the wrong thread) not derailed the poor guy. I will make amends.

For Oscar Wilde's sister Kim, Nena, general musings on sexual allure + armpit hair, please visit the "I can relate"-thread.

You can do weird meters and still be tuneful!





Here, Brian Wilson would approve. And Brian May too. Regarding Steve Morse's solo!

Now that we've gotten to Nena, Uwe needs to connect her to Deep Purple.

I'm still on the fence myself about the BBA box set.  Right after I posted I found out Golden Earring was releasing a remastered and expanded version of Cut.  So I immediately pre-ordered that.  Whether or not I'll want to pre-order yet another CD is debatable.  The Golden Earring box set consists of two CDs and a DVD.  At only $30, it's definitely a better deal than the $50 BBA cd set.  However, I might add that this may be more of a deal for Europeans than Americans.  Because I suspect that DVD won't play in the U.S.  According to the Steve Hoffman forum, it probably won't play.  That isn't stopping me from buying it, though.  The two CDs will at least play and that is my third favorite Golden Earring album anyway. 

The DVD is PAL/0 format.

I'm replying to my own post on purpose.  I need to add some updated details.  In spite of the fact that everyone seems to think this DVD won't play in the U.S., that is not correct.  I just got the box set and the DVD plays fine on my DVD player bought in the U.S.  This is just a normal player.  It seems the "Cut" DVD should play on all players.  Of course, I can't guarantee that, but that would be my guess based on it playing on my player.

The quality of the CDs is very good, possibly the best of any that have been released.  Also, this is one of Golden Earring's best albums anyway.  It was supposed to be their swan song, but ended up as a success instead.
