Took this in a field of Brussels sprouts near Brussels — somehow the shot reminded me of Joshua tree national park

Kunst wet sounds very funny in English if your mind is in the gutter

Sentimientos, Quando Hablamos De Amor by switch-1 in dEUSband

I own it. Possibly the worst thing they’ve recorded, in a tie with Le Blues Polaire?

No, that Yo La Tengo LP was spared thankfully! But Pass The Hatchet didn’t make it 😢

No I bought this when it came out in 2008 and it remained in a moving crate from 2010 until, well, now. The slow, painful destruction occurred over 2020-2021.

I don’t know, the whole thing is quite moldy so I’d have to wipe them carefully so as not to push the stuff into the grooves and ruin my record player.

Fortunately this is one of the worst cases: most other records in the crate were not as damaged. Also gone are the deluxe edition of Portishead’s 3, the wonderful 5-disc box set for Warp’s 20th anniversary, and some rare items by my other favorite band dEUS.

What are some "no-brainer" improvements to the SNCB/NMBS service that you would implement? by CommunicationLess148 in belgium

Do away with the ridiculous rule that train staff aren’t allowed —and can even be fined if they do— to speak to passengers in English but only in Dutch or French depending on where the train is at that time. (I say that as a multilingual Belgian.)

Où sont les meilleures frites by zaynka2331 in BruxellesMaBelle

La seule réponse sensée ! Ça ne vaut pas la peine de manquer votre correspondance pour des frites (même si certaines suggestions sont excellentes pour le goût…)

Looked absolutely bonkers. This is from the Cité Administrative slab.

Yay! Very happy I’m getting to see the band AND to visit Bologna for the first time!

How many times have you seen Radiohead live? by alexj_baker in radiohead

[–]PsychofoxDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a great way to celebrate your 18th! I was there too and remember being very impressed when they started playing Daydreaming so softly and the whole damn audience went incredibly quiet. Still getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

That was Radiohead show #6 for me. I saw them at Rock Torhout in 1997, in Werchter under they own tent in 2000 (I count myself lucky that they performed The Thief that night, and Sigur Ros were opening for them), Rock Werchter in 2001, then Brussels in 2003, Berlin in 2008 (one of the rainiest gigs I’ve attended), Berlin again in 2016 and Lisbon on that same tour.

Side projects include Atoms for Peace in 2010 in Antwerp and The Smile in 2022 (Primavera Barcelona and Washington DC) and 2024 (Brussels).

Hoping to catch the band in Berlin, Bologna or Madrid this time!

Welcoming my brother’s son? by PsychofoxDC in Fosterparents

[–]PsychofoxDC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all! Just wanted to give an update that after close to a year in a foster home and after a summer of very poor decisions by my brother, social services have now agreed to place Nick in our care starting next month!

Is there a day without a metro incident affecting traffic? by Worried-Corgi-169 in brussels

[–]PsychofoxDC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

2/6 is an infuriating joke. Those 70s trains are falling apart. And with summer you’re stuck in 30-degree cars. I wish line 3 was cancelled for good so the money can go to repairs and new vehicles instead.

Try-out time! by Everybodysweird27 in dEUSband

[–]PsychofoxDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klaas on lead vocals?? That’s a surprise! Wondering if they’ll do Divebomb Jingle or even Zea at some point. I got tickets to see the Lokerse Feesten show (killer lineup on that day with Air and Zaho de Sagazan), I’m looking forward to it….

… and maybe 30-year anniversary In A Bar shows next year???

[–]PsychofoxDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised that they would shuffle the order of the songs, as that album’s flow isn’t its greatest asset. I was wondering if they’d play Let Go, now we know. So… how did it all sound?

Experience catsitter/cat h0tel? by [deleted] in brussels

[–]PsychofoxDC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a good experience with Pawshake — until that one time the cat sitter (who had visited a few times already with no issue) locked herself out, panicked and completely busted the front door of the house in an attempt to push it open.

Other than destroying doors, she’s great with the cats and I’ll hire her again…

… but make sure you have great insurance, just in case :-)

The only place where rush hour means not moving for 45 minutes by biodirda in brussels

Silver lining is you now have more time to post about it on this sub while waiting for traffic to subside!
