This is interesting, I have thought about this before when somehow it occured to me that David Bowie pronounces "let's dance" the american way although he is British. Hard to imagine the song being sung differently though.

Those referees start getting on my nerves. That Australian player just got hit by the ball on his lowered arm and has to leave the pitch for that. I really think there are some doubtful decisions in this championship to say the very least. Just remember yesterday's matches Germany-Serbia or USA-Slovenia. The responsible people of the FIFA should take more care when it comes to nominating re
Forum: Tell Me

That was the best match of the championship so far. Germany played really well and it was absolutely fun to watch this. Only negative aspect of the game was that unnecessary red card for the Australian player. Otherwise, Germany has played best so far imo (but some great teams are still to come, of course).

Hasn't Switzerland finally signed the Schengen Agreement this year? So there shouldn't be any problems going from Switzerland to France and vice versa now.

I think Zooropa was very good! Numb, Lemon, Stay, Zooropa, The Wanderer... I like most of the songs on it. Pop however was terrible. Hopelessly over the top although there are three or four good songs on it. As far as I know Pop (as we know it) was not exactly the album the band wanted to make. With the tour dates being fixed and the beginning of the tour approaching, the album had to be fini

Thanks for your reply, Nikolai! I really wasn't aware of it being such an essential album and I'll definitely buy it, then.

Absolutely adore this song!! I think the song sequence of the first 8 or 9 songs on "Electric Arguments" is one of the best (maybe the best) Paul has released since Beatles times... or say at least since Band On The Run. Unfortunately the last 5 songs on the album are just crap, imo. I'd love to see Paul do something in this direction, being a bit more "daring" instea

There is nothing heavy about that song, not the guitar, not the drums, not the bass or even the vocals.
