[Farin]

[_Laurie_]

LOL...the judges on American Idol....Simon says rude things....and Paula would find something good in the performance even if she didn't like it.....

[Farin]

well back to the important things in life:

nobody of you will appreciate this, but I don't care

Farin, I dig this, even though I have no idea what he's saying. Smooth flow, yo. Mr. Peaches said, and I quote, "It's a-ight." Apparently he's the Randy Jackson to Laurie's Paula Abdul.

[Farin]

why is it that everytime I post something like this I have to dig with a jackhammer until I finally get such reaction out of someone...

is it such a foreign concept to just ask "Farin, I have no idea what he's babbling about, could you please translate the text or tell me what's it about?" ?

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Farin, I have no idea what he's babbling about, could you please translate the text or tell me what's it about?

[Farin]

why sure

you have to know that the lyrics are actually very poetic, which makes it very hard to translate, but I'll try my luck with the last verse

Millionen Legionen = "Millions (of) Legions"

It was the night of the vampires

in the city of the wild animals

they pull me to them

if I loose my balance

I'll submerge and melt into this mass of mutants

soulless wanderers, and their relatives

And I'm struggling to the heavens

for a change of the spirit

raise my hands to god

or whoever's hanging around there

Sovereign of my life -

this throne is mine

cause I live and govern here.

And then I lift my quill as a shield against the pain

that reaches me from the battlefield of love.

Although it seems as if everyone here sings gloomy songs

I'll wash myself clean of the slime

and enter new grounds.

This boy's standing at the edge

and with nothing in his hands

without fear in his eyes

and his back to the wall

(chorus)

and then he calls on every Superheroes, every great Master

every Highlander, every Warrior

every good spirit

every Superfreak, and Chosen Ones

and he calls me

and has Millions of Legions behind him

well, do you know now what it's about?

...me neither

but it's such a great song

with the sitar alone and I just learned today that the first instrument is a "subcontrabassflute"

[_Laurie_]

I'm starting to like this song now....

[Farin]

I'm sorry

[The Seeker]

I really like it, actually.

[Farin]

if you're (plural) interested I can try to translate the rest as well - tomorrow

but actually imo it's not really necessary to understand the lyrics to enjoy the song

[The Seeker]

I just looked them up... but thank you

Someone else maybe...

[Farin]

alright

[Levis]

I like the lyrics too, even if they don't make a lot of sense. On some level, they do, though you can't 'explain' them, really.

[MuzikTyme]

This goes back to when Hagar rocked and Montrose played. This doesn't do 'em the justice that I witnessed live one time, back in '74. One of the best concerts I've ever seen to date. Golden Earring opened to give you an idea of how great it was.

Rockin' times, indeed.

sniff

I can't see or hear it...

(MP3 files don't work on this computer for some dumb reason)

I'll find a way to hear it though cuz you're pretty good at suggesting cool stuff

[Farin]

oh

I could send you an email?

With my sincerest apologies to blind-fitter, I present the Foo Fighters new video, "Long Road to Ruin". I think it is quite hilarious.

Click here, yo.

[blind-fitter]

I don't have any particular objection to The Foo Fighters, though I find their output to be of variable quality. And I do think Grohl is turning into one of those ubiquitous showbiz whores, which is sadly at odds with his punk-rock roots.

[blind-fitter]

Cool video, though.

^ Not bad, C-girl, but that can't beat the raw talent and musicianship in this nugget of goodness.
