maybe i'm amazed

americana. hard rock. grunge woohooooo

today they showed the iconic MTV Unplugged set by Nirvana on the telly. oh my GOD. i don't remember if they've ever showed it on telly before but i know i've watched it before (in my youth :P) their cover of Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World is even better than the original in my notsohumble opinion. and i'll never forget the lilies and candles decorating the stage. i believe it was then and there that i decided that lilies were my favourite flowers (stargazer lilies in white to be precise)

well yeah nirvana aren't americana (that's more Allman Brothers. their song Jessica is what the Top Gear theme tune is based on shara- if you come here anymore) but they're the ones who singlehandedly intro-ed grunge to the world, and if that isn't "american revolutionary/americana-ish" i dunno what is

DANG youtube disabled embedding. *curse and swear* but here's the link:
The Man Who Sold The World



oh cobain, why'd you have to go





















speaking of cobain, we learnt this word the other day.."copain" (koh-pah). my favourite french word so far. just like radiergummi (eraser) is my favourite german word

Definition: (informal) - buddy, pal, mate; boyfriend

Tes copains sont sympa - Your buddies are nice
Je vais au cinéma avec mon copain - I'm going to the movies with my boyfriend

back to german, THE POLICE CONCERT ON MONDAYYYY!! :D :D :D

ich werde über das Konzert aufgeregt (?_?) ok i just mauled the grammar right there





















power to the people, yes Sting. i hope people don't sit during the concert. that's quite loser lah :\

edit: netta! i found a McFly cover of my "song of the moment" aka The Boys Are Back In Town (#38 on Q magazine's list of 100 greatest guitar tracks EVER) they're frickin rock gods ok! (i cannot belive i just said that)
