I'm Going To Change Things Slightly..

Recently, one of my French teachers recommended Jacques Brel to me. One song in particular you may already know "Amsterdam" as David Bowie released "In the Port of Amsterdam" (which is a cover). The passion that the Belgian has when he sings is incredible:



I have also "discovered" another French singer known as Khaled. This is the Algerian king of Rai (hes a mixture of Uncle Joe and (dare I say it..) Borat.

SORRY

Right, Ok. Well it has been a long time, to be honest I just completely forgot I had this blog. Anyway, a lot has happened to me this past half year or so, but as this was supposed to be primarily a music blog, music is what I shall discuss.

My music taste has grown rapidly quite recently, mainly thanks to a friend of mine. He "introduced" me to Daft Punk and their offspring. Primarily the French based duo Justice and the German artist known as Boys Noize. He has pretty much indoctrinated me in to this style of music to which originally i knew nothing about. I recommend Justice's "†" and Boys Noize's "Oi Oi Oi" and more recently his "Bugged Out!" The latter being a great remix album including remixes of Soundhack, SebastiAn and Surkin.
