| nine inch nails & david bowie I’m afraid of americans I’m a fan of David Bowie. I have been for a long time. One of my students in their “Person I Admire” year 9 oral presentation, spoke about David Bowie. It was well-reseached and well delivered and she wasn’t aware I was a fan. Her excellent taste paid off! |

Amanda Bloom – WoW
Last night I heard Amanda Bloom’s ‘Magdeline‘ on the radio. It is an amazing song. I loved it on first hearing. I remember the first time I heard Tori Amos and it was a similar experience. She is like Kate Bush. I love Kate Bush.
The lyrics of ‘Magdeline‘ are moving and you can read all about them on her myspace blog.
She is a Sydney woman. Her voice is magic and I look forward to hearing more. I would buy a CD of hers today if I could. The Triple J radio announcer said last night she was classically trained. You can hear that discipline and excellence. I can’t say enough. If you go to Triple J Unearthed, you can download Magdeline and listen for yourself. I am going to register today and vote.
Camille lyrics
I love that song “Ta Douleur” and have been listening to it quite a bit. It occured to me the lyrics may not be great and not understanding French, my curiosity got the better of me. So of course I found the lyrics and went to babel fish. The translation was funny. Do it for a laugh.
[I know you’re suffering, but trust me, I’m gonna take away your pain.]
The translation is funny. I get the gist of it though and it’s ok.
