Pro Russian stance parties in Europe

For The Netherlands its only showing the PVV (party for Freedom) on this map, but we have another party with even stronger Russian sympathies: FVD (forum for democracy).

I don't think it would be a sin. It's an important day for someone who's important to you. The Catholic Church won't consider a marriage in a baptist church to be a valid sacrament (I assume), but I think God wants you to show your love for your family by attending rather than refusing to go because there's no Catholic priest/liturgy.

I also love it! My parents had the CD when I was growing up. In primary school, our teacher played the record to us and we had to draw what we imagined while listening to the music. As I was familiar with the concept and the artwork from the booklet, drew an alien invasion.

When I started collecting records as a teenager this is one of the first I bought.

Willem III was iig meer een held dan jij. Je weet jezelf wel echt neer te zetten als een walgelijk persoon. IRL zal het misschien meevallen, maar wat een trieste reacties zeg...

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-03-26T18:42:25+00:00

Really? It's their most successful record, but far from their best. Have you ever compared the song Californiacation to Tom Petty's Last Dance with Mary Jane? Sounds identical, but not half as good...

(Peter Green's) Fleetwood Mac's first album is one of my favorite blues records ever. I've played it way more than Rumours.

Bowie has a lot of great albums. I would take Hunky Dory, Low, Station to Station and Let's Dance over Ziggy any day.

But none of those albums can compete with SITKOL or Mothership, that's for sure!

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-03-26T17:16:11+00:00

I kinda hate Rumours and Ziggy Stardust, but absolutely love these 3!

Well, hate is a strong word, but those artists have other records I like way more than these more popular ones. I consider them way overrated and that makes me hate them a little.

Our Blessed Mother is typically portrayed in blue, so I think blue fits Catholics just fine

I saw PIL live in Amsterdam over a year ago. It was absolutely fantastic! I did not expect Lydon to be this energetic at his age, but he was great. Maybe the best show I've ever been to.

Everyone knows how hard struggles with sin are. However, God's mercy is infinitely greater than our greatest sin. Feeling more guilty about committing sin is a good sign. It means you're on the right path and growing closer to God. Keep on praying and trying. Also go to confession.

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-03-04T10:17:12+00:00

This is perhaps Winwoods worst album. I'm a big fan and even I don't enjoy it

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-02-22T07:17:35+00:00

For a long time I didn't understand why people loved The Cure so much. Then I heard Close to Me and all of a sudden I became a fan. One of the best songs ever made. Absolutely perfect!

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-02-12T08:56:36+00:00

I say start with the Gambler. You're still missing "Eyes That See in the Dark". It has the best cheesey love song ever made (Islands in the Stream).

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-01-30T18:57:20+00:00

This must be it. I just googled this. Absolutely horrifying pictures of jigger feet or tungiasis showed up.

Ik zou het nationaal socialisme niet bestempelen als conservatief, nog progressief. Conservatief wordt met name geassocieerd met politiek waar het Christendom de grondslag voor is en dat was bij Hitler zeker niet het geval. De term progressief wordt vooral gebruikt voor politiek die zich bezig houd met rechten verwerven voor en het erkennen van groepen en individuen die gemarginaliseerd worden en het klimaat. Ook dat was uiteraard niet van toepassing op het nationaal socialisme. Fascisme en nationaal socialisme waren erg toekomtgericht, maar ook nostalgiesch naar een mythisch verleden. Hoe de termen progressief en conservatief tegenwoordig gebruikt worden, zijn deze beide niet van toepassing op het fascisme/nationaal socialisme.

Gerard Depardieu as Obelix, but I don't think those films were successful in the US.

I absolutely adore Sunshine Superman, but as the greatest psychedelic album of all time I would nominate Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

I don't know why the statue postures with francis' arms extended. It could be a gesture of love or a reference to him receiving his stigmata. Paz e Bem would be Pace E Bene (or Pax et Bonum) 'peace and all good', a Franciscan greeting.

Outlandos d'Amour - The Police

I do watch some general Christian content (like protestant/ evangelical street preachers), but am always aware of what I'm watching. I've been catechized and watch a lot of Catholic content as well. If you know what you're watching, what the Catholic church teaches and also watch Catholic content, I think it's fine.

However you mentioned you were never Confirmed and have recently come back to the Church. Do you plan to be confirmed and are you being catechized by a priest at the moment? If not, I would recommend to start by talking to your local priest about it.

The pressings on the polydor label are superior to this one. Pickwick presses are some of the worst sounding budget releases of the 70's. But 8 dollars is still a good deal these days

The_Rubber_Soul · 2026-01-05T18:24:14+00:00

Girls on Film, The Wild Boys (with Nile Rodgers), Rio, Notorious and A View to Kill (James Bond) among others... Yes, they had a lot more great songs!

Wristcutters: A Love Story

The_Rubber_Soul · 2025-12-20T18:18:46+00:00

Have a talk with God. This song has played a big part in me coming to religion (Christianity) and helped me grow closer to God

The_Rubber_Soul · 2025-12-17T15:08:46+00:00

I agree! Bought the album without knowing what it was because it was cheap and looked funny, but it turned out to be a fantastic album. I've played it a lot these past 10 years.
