the word Goldfrapp mades me think of the piece named Goldwrap, which makes me think of Esbjorn Svensson, which, thinking of him, brings tears in my eyes. Cry

1. I hope he does his best, at such an even as this. In his place, I wouldn't give a crap about anyone being annoyed by what I do, what records I break, and etc, because it's my sport, my work, my effort, my results, my joy. Besides, Phelps himself mentioned in a press conference that he doesn't think about the records, it's all part of the press reminding him of that, he simply thinks of doing his best, because, after much training and years of practice and perfection, well, it's the best thing man can strive to do, right?

2. C'est la vie.

3. C'est la vie, yet again. I don't understand the moves either, but it's a fair sport to watch.

4. I guess that, by thinking of ancient male strength competitions, the idea of lifting weights doesn't sound so abberant.

5. C'est la vie. I find it so hard, it's definitely an art knowing to sail. Even more, to compete.

6. What's the Ginga you're refering to?

Goldwrap makes me think of an overpowered item on Diablo 2

That's what I meant... he comes across as a nice guy, a not arrogant guy who's trying his best and yes, perhaps he deserves all those Golds and World Records (except the VdGG album, only us proggers are allowed that Wink) but for the sake of the press, I hope he doesn't.  The press annoy me so much!

2. C'est la vie.

I cannot always tell the quality of performances... I understand falling over/off is bad but landings always seem to be wobbly and stuff yet they still get highers scores than some others who have better landings... it's all to do with the difficulty.  Plus the Floor performances never seem to fit the music...

3. C'est la vie, yet again. I don't understand the moves either, but it's a fair sport to watch.

It's mostly the rules... it just looks like falling over and grabbing...

4. I guess that, by thinking of ancient male strength competitions, the idea of lifting weights doesn't sound so abberant.

Oh I know that but it's so uninteresting!  Plus they damage their bodies so much, it's silly.

5. C'est la vie. I find it so hard, it's definitely an art knowing to sail. Even more, to compete.

Oh it is an art but I cannot tell who the hell is in the lead... plus there's several rounds...

6. What's the Ginga you're refering to?

I don't know what it is, that's why i was asking. LOL  It's some kind of jump/snatch/spin thing on the unparallel bars.

Jumping snatch and spinning on the parallel bars???? Shocked  Sounds like a Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson sex tape.

Well, after he wins, the press can talk, and talk, and talk, and then life goes on. Who cares about the press? They even irritate Federer with losing his no.1 next Monday, and he says "don't care". pff...

Wobbly and stuff landings mostly means there will be deductions...
About the difficulty, I think anyone can judge how well the person performed technically, because that's the case: technicality.

Ok/...must be a move that was invented by one "Ginga'...LOL

You really must!  That said, I may actually prefer other of their albums, but everything I've heard is pure gold.

I have a compilation of their first four studio albums and some live stuff like Are(A)zione.  I don't think you can go wrong trying to acquire any of that.

So the albums would be:

Arbeit Macht Frei
Caution Radiation Area
Crac!
Maledetti

edit:  I found the compilation called "Area Gold Edition" for about $50 and it's worth every penny if you want to dive right in.  The individual albums are a bit pricey.

Because it's not a sport, let alone one of olympic standards. It;s just people punching each other while the other is trying not to get punched
