Interactive Poll: Road Trip

suitkees wrote: ^ Glad you like the dEUS track, Christian. I had their Worst Case Scenario album since a long time, when it was promoted as one of the most promising independent rock bands. However, it didn't incite me to explore more of their work, later on. Until I saw them during a festival night on a Mediterranean beach... Sonic Youth was the main act that night, and they were splendid, but for me it was actually dEUS - performing just before SY - that stole the show that night. This was when they were touring the album this track is off (Vantage Point). For me this is one of the better independent rock albums of that decade! (which maybe shows that I haven't explored much of independent rock during that time, but well...)

I know you hadn’t. Holy Zarquon’s singing fish, please excuse the swutty joojooflop, I must have read the American turlingdrome version of it. Shame I lack a Babelfish for better interpreting intent. Yeah, more of a boys thing. I haven’t read them since I was a teenager, but it is something I often reference, like when I remarked to my family on the Belgium shirt the other day (become part of my DNA). I sure do appreciate Belgian chocolate.

The other day I saw this rudest word in the Universe gratuitously written on someone's shirt . And yes, I voted for three. * A Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide... reference    I guess you have to be either American or a massive fan of Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to understand that reference.  How come you moved to Belgium?

About as American as being into Monty Python. I'm not American and Douglas Adams was English. One of my favourite Danes at this forum is a big Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan, and I know he is quite well known around the world, but I would expect best known in the English-speaking world. I would think even quite a few lesser fans of Hitchiker's would get that reference. ;)

I just stayed in Belgium for a while on vacation, quite some time, as I put it, sounds like an exaggeration. I was thinking of a trip some years ago where my wife and I travelled around Europe for a month or so and we spent longer in Belgium than most places on that particular trip. I had joined my wife on a work trip and we combined that with personal stays and destinations.

Jackson Browne...

Same here. Sorry for the delay, it's the holiday season.
