Oh when the saints

Happy Musicians -day!!

According to the catholic-saints-calendar (as was being pointed out to me by my nephew K. who is in the appropriate position to tell me these things), today is Saint Cecilia, which is – as I remember well from my days when I went to the brass band in my hometown - the saint for all musicians. The brass band was named after Saint Cecilia (as almost every other brass band in Catholic Flanders I imagine).


So to all musicians out there: Congratulations! And maybe a good day today to – as I learned from Sarah – for the lurking and non-lurking people to tell 1. me what kind of music you like, 2. if you play an instrument and 3. what your favourite song in the world is!

My answers?

1. Nick Cave is my absolute God
2. I played the trumpet for more than 15 years and also play a bit of piano/keyboard
3. Into My Arms from who else than Nick Cave


so what about you?

pensavo di rispondere in inglese, ma non sarà bene. Pensava di scrivere tutto in italiano, ma penso che anche questo non sarà bene. Conclusione: una reazione in FIAMMINGO ...

Om die taal ook nog maar eens te gebruiken ... Eindelijk, na het al eens beloofd te hebben een reactie ... Inderdaad, vandaag St. Cecilia, en dus reden om wat muzikaal te vieren ...

Een kort antwoord op je vraagjes:
1. een beetje van alles, over goden in de muziekwereld spreek ik niet (kan ik mij niet echt veroorloven ;)
2. piano, een beetje orgel, drie akkoorden op een gitaar ...
3. idem vraag 1

voldoende zo?

Ciao
Koen

1) Django Reinhardt always makes me happy

2) on a "blue monday" I played the guitar (for two years), but other than that, I'm not really made to make music myself

3) hmmmm... toughie... "close to you" (the carpenters-for obvious reasons ;) hmm... no... yes.. I DON'T KNOW!!! :))

Anoniem zei

mhm, you do know how to keep people thinking on a cold day like this...

1) like rikea said: to many styles... I like practically everything...
Important: there has to be a bridge in the song :-) (remember Johnny Logan...)

2) does playing 'fingerdrums' count...

3)call me camp, but 'Come sail away' - Styx does it for me

1. Jeff Buckley
Nog altijd ... blijft onaantastbaar voor mij
2. gitaar (elektrisch, klassiek, akoestisch0, basgitaar, beetje drums en keyboards
3. Satisfied Mind (traditional) door ... tja Jeff Buckley ... zijn begrafenislied en dus ook dat van mij.

BTW: Santa Lucia wordt in Zweden op 13 december gevierd. Met oudste blonde dochter van de familie met een kaarsenkrans op haar hoofd. Er is zelf een speciaal saffraangebak voor die dag: Lussekat.

1. all kinds of types, depending on the mood I'm in... definitely DON'T like cherrymoon-house, hardcore-techno, 'hardcore' classical music, holland-carnival songs,
2. played the flute for about a year, these days I stick to singing under the shower or when I'm cleaning the house
3. also depending on the mood I'm in, at the moment anything from Joan As Policewoman or Chet Baker sings

Dag Stoffel,
ik grijp meteen mijn kans om hier volle bak sluikreclame te maken voor Buurman ! Of laten we het maar meteen échte reclame noemen.

1. Ik heb het volop voor Nederlandstalig werk. Monza, Noordkaap, Buurman,... De 'oude' U2 is ook zeer goed.

2. Beetje gitaar. En elke dag een half uur saxofoon. To be continued.

3. 'Transitpassagier' van Buurman. Nog niet te beluisteren op hun site. U kan er wel al luisteren naar 'Dat is't.

En hier is het te doen: http://www.buurman.be

1. Bob Dylan, off course. And a lot of Duyster-bands! And i love the 90's (Pavement, Afghan Whigs, Pixies, Sebadoh,...)! And a bit of jazz. And old stuff, from Beatles to King Crimson and Bowie. Oh, did i mention PJ Harvey? The Flaming Lips! Mars Volta? Interpol, Editors and Confuse The Cat! Modest Mouse! Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky? Arcade Fire? Will Oldham, i almost forgot Will Oldham! I'd better stop right now.

2. Some guitar...

3. Changes every day. Right now: 'Wolf Like Me' by TV on the Radio...

.s zei

Oh, check the TV on the Radio-song right here. They are amazing...

maar nu kennen we Stoffel z'n instrument nog niet...???

Anoniem zei

Dat van Stoffel is de moeite niet Heidi... maar ik kan je anders wel eens mijn 'instrument' tonen ;-)

Anoniem zei

Difficult to choose just one...

1- Depending on my moment: from popy things, to 80's, to jazz, men with guitar (we call it cantautor), even to classical, or some spanish stuff.

2- I can't play really anything. Some flute at school, some badly played guitar accords, and very bad singer (only in the shower). But i love dancing a lot!

3- only one... There are many, I was super fan of Ben Harper, Pixies, Nirvana on my young times (even now, i listen the umplugged...), Ella Fitzgerlad and bossa nova (caetano veloso, vinicius de moraes, maria da bethania...) allways, Belle and Sebastian, benjamin violay and chiara mastroiani, joy division, radiohead... I cannot just choose one!

And now, for those who may like, three flamenco (not flemish!)recomendations:
- ea!(http://www.ealavida.com/)
- kiko veneno (http://www.kikoveneno.net/)
- buika (http://www.droatlantic.com/plt_Artistas_Ultimo.aspx?IdObjeto=724),
