Thank you Stephane, for posting the lyrics to poupee de cire. Isn't French a beautiful language! I'd like to take this opportunity to commend your country for that and having a swinging and bloodthirsty national anthem. Hats off! I remember a fascinating lecture at uni about why the Marseillaise is such a swinging up-tempo tune. Apparently the revolutionary armies of France marched much faster than troops used to in the C18th because they dispensed with baggage trains and lived off the land (and the locals..). (I love history!) Anyhow I was puzzling over the lyrics of PDCPDS and when I came to the verse... Mes disques sont un miroir Dans lequel chacun peut me voir Je suis partout à la fois Brisée en mille éclats de voix I said to myself "Now I'm in a million pieces picked up for deliberation by the people listening at home....". I know mille is really a thousand but the first thing I thought of was the connection and the sentiment is the same isn't it? Meet-ups - Can I be so bold as to suggest that if any London listees wanted a meet up they could do worse than the Bedford Pub in Balham on Thursdays at about 8pm. Because at 9pm my comedy show goes on for about an hour and then theres a bar until 12 or so. This is both a serious suggestion and a shameless plug. I'm on tonight and then again in a couple of weeks time. xx John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
