Steel2Velvet Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 As I was checking out these nominations, I thought of Miami Sammy's problem with getting this week's nominator's SF nickname correct. Well Sammy, the difficulty factor of Sabastien's nickname on this site is nothing compared to the lyrics you are about to enjoy! Fully international, some in English, some in French, some in a German sounding dialect and some in what sounded like the language of the Huron Indians in "Last Of The Mohicans." The music is distinctly different, but still totally personal and wildly enjoyable. Prepare to travel first class, as we fly into Viaene's Personal Top Ten Belgium is a small country, yet we have a large music scene and many great (and often unknown) artists. We are most known for our electronic-dominated music (new wave, elektro, trance, techno, club dj's,...) but there is more! Belgium has the most festivals in the world compared to its total surface, we are also very proud that the "Arthur Award for Best Festival" has been ours for several times now. So it's clear: Belgians still love rock and roll, and with this list I want to give you great music, made in Belgium, which is probably not so famous abroad. Enjoy! - Viaene My Heroics, pt 1 - Absynthe Minded Einstein Brain - Admiral Freebee De Roos - Ann Christy Vive Ma liberté - Arno Estupendo - Arsenal Kennedy Boulevard - Axelle Red Poolijs - Bart Peeters She goes nana - The Radios Loetsebollekezoetse - Biezebaaze Hold The Line - Blue Blot Anne - Clouseau Icon - Daan Never Get Enough - Das Pop Kamer In Amsterdam - De Mens Kvraagetaan - Fixkes Grootste Lul Van ‘t Stad - FlipKowlier British Mode - Goose Mia - Gorki Mad About You - Hooverphonic Insensitive - Jasper Stevelinck Ik wil je - Kreuners Smidje - Lais Champagne - Millionaire Tryer - Motek Wrong - Novastar E Talking - Soulwax High On A Wire - The Blackbox Revelation Electric Soldiers - The Van Jets Jaloes - Thof Van Commerce Mercy - Triggerfinger & Selah Sue Blanche En Zin Peird - Willem Vermandere Struggle For Pleasure - Wim Mertens Mean Mobiel - Yuko I Feel Alive In The City - Zita Swoon Black Hope Shot Down - Zornik Voir Un Ami Pleurer - Jacques Brel Ne Me Quitte Pas - Toots Thielemans Free Haven - Ozark Henry A Love Affair - Lady Lynn Mirror Mirror - Ghinzu Help - Channel Zero Den Dikke Lu - Clement Peerens eXplosition Blankenberge - Hugo Matthyssen A Little Bit Of Lovin’ - Tiny legs Tim Your Shopping Lists Are Poetry - Mint Nah neh nah - Vaya con dios ça plane pour moi - Plastic Bertrand Suds ’n Soda - Deus Mad love sweet love - A brand Meisjes - Raymond Van Het Groenewoud Youtube playlist Bonus: The Vault This is a fairly new Belgian band who didn't record an album yet, therefore I did not include them on the final list. I want to wait until they get the chance to record their songs properly. These guys come from my town and are friends of mine, They have more and better songs then on that website and they play a very good live set, I hope they find the money to record an album soon, so I can share it with you. - Viaene After disembarking and sorting through the carousel for your personal belongings ....
