[...] out enough of the words (yeah all it took was Da, Da, Da) to remember the name of the band. And a post over on Song, by Toad got my ass in gear to post it, so go blame him! But stop and buy the album, [...]

There seems to be an awful lot of German spoken by the people who read this. That’s slightly weird.

I’ve never heard of Gisbert zu Thingummydoodah but the name alone is brilliant enough for me.

1. Jens Lekman, most definitely. And Jeff Buckley “je n’en connais pas le fin”.
2. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zGcLODDy9Uw
3. Gisbert zu Knyphausen. Man’s a genius. Oh and all of the above too.
4. “Beschwipst” – german for tipsy.
5. Kyrgyzstan. Incredible lack of vowels.

Remarkably little.

My grandmother and her sisters were fluent gaelic speakers when they got together and we got the cats just after staying with them.

The Czech Republic. Very grand. Why Gaelic Adam, is there something you’ve not been telling us?

Well ben, the feminine lies and the masculine exagerates? And it’s nice of you to still be talking to me after the Sarah Palin debacle, xoxo

1. I think you can hear that ‘this is not my native tongue’ inflection in just about every word the Shout Out Louds sing and I love that very much indeed.
2. That bit at the end of ‘Stand and Deliver’ mainly because I remember a friend at the time convinced he had deciphered it and it was something really important although looking for it on the lyrics sites now it appears to have been ‘da diddley qua qua’.
3. Dunno. I’ve tried to think of something here but just can’t.
4. Ruadh. It’s gaelic for ‘Red’ and it’s the name of one of my cats.
5. Countries that have the indie cred to start their name with ‘The’! The Gambia, The Vatican… I would go on but I can’t think of any more. And I’m not entirely sure about those two, it might just be ‘Gambia’ and Vatican City, and that isn’t exactly a country, they don’t have a football team or anything. Or an entry to the Eurovision Song Contest.

Don’t feel bad tart. I’m about to work on a Ballet called Petite Mort. I have asked all our Francophone dancers why the little is feminine and the death masculine. The best anyone has come up with is that it was misspelled the first time when the ballet was choreographed 10 odd years ago.

Christ I’m dull.

Shit, that’s probably sexist isn’t it.
