with respect, but that is so wrong it's laughable. seriously, take a look at the film "scratch" sometime ; it will at least help you understand, even if you never learn to like it (you don't have to like it

). it takes years of hard work to become a good dj, like any instrument. on the piano, in 10 minutes you can learn to play "clair de lune" with one finger, it doesn't make you a great pianist. dj-ing is the same.

Oh, and as far as language errors are concerned, you should realise that a lot of the people on this forum are not native english speakers - I being one of them ....

And you did see the post where I fell all over myself apologizing??

Since you are not a native speaker of English, then let me say that your grammar is pretty damn good under the circumstances. I don't usually point out grammatical errors .... unless I get really (really) angry, in which case I'll point out every little teeny tiny thing.

It is sad that there is no screamingly effective way of "hearing" irony or sarcasm in our posts. Nothing like a head bashing you didn't deserve.

Just curious .... does anyone here actually like Celine Dion?? (No, I don't ... I do not like anything about her singing ... but like I said ... I'm curious.)

pshrynk · 06-24-2008, 05:07 PM

My wife likes her. Not enough guitars in her music for my tastes, though.

zelda_pinwheel · 06-24-2008, 05:12 PM

*someone* must like her, doesn't she sing in Las Vegas practically every night ?

of course, i don't personally know a single person who does, so this is pure speculation on my part.

RickyMaveety · 06-24-2008, 05:19 PM

I really meant ... does anyone HERE like her. I don't know anyone who does, personally, but then again, her name doesn't come up in conversation much (or at all), so maybe it's just that I don't know.

yvanleterrible · 06-24-2008, 08:28 PM

Shows to you the :good taste: that floats around MR.

I like some of her stuff. Mostly from before My Heart Will Go On (which is not actually a bad track but has been ruined by overexposure) - e.g All By Myself or It's All Coming Back to Me Now.
But then I like all kinds of music.

That, is still juggling, a performance. It is not music. It is using canned music, often someone else's.

I'm sorry Zelda. I can not accept this.

well, as a melomane who has a long and diverse experience with music of all kinds, i disagree completely, as do quite a lot of people, and i suspect probably you think that partly because your opinion is too uninformed. but i won't try to convince you. if you ever are interested, you can find out more about it, and maybe you'll end up changing your mind.

Phew! I was about to say that a guilty, shameful pleasure of mine (hell, it's a bit late for shame - I've already admitted to Wannabe

) is My Heart Will Go On, which I haven't let be ruined, simply by not listening to it (ie. I turned off the radio whenever it came on). There's few songs that can ever beat that kind of overexposure. There was one recently, which I could listen to every time, and still listen to, and leave on repeat, and never have it go bad...what was it?

Hmm...must have gone bad afterall.

No, wait! It was Mika's Grace Kelly. I love that song (and the album isn't bad either - not fully realised, but it has some pretty nifty songs).

Cheers,
Marc

Queen Zee, Yvan, if this keeps turning uglier between you two - two of my most favouritest people on MR - I will be most distressed, and you wouldn't like to see me all weepy, and trantrummy, and throwing all my toys around my playroom, would you? It's really tragic when I do. You'll lose all respect for me at my pathetic whine and petulant moping and abjectly selfish demands for attention, and, you don't want that, do you? [eyes go all full and soft and a little weepy; lower lip starts to tremble...]

Here's a good one for you both...I *love* the banjo. Surely you can both join forces against me on that (if not, I also love the bagpipes and the accordion. I'm currently playing Bucks Fizz's Making Your Mind Up on alternate repeat along with the Bangles' Walk Like an Egyptian. C'mon, there's got to be something you can jointly dislike about music I listen to?

)

Cheers,
Marc

Celine Dion? I hate to say that my wife bought four tickets for her January concert here and that she bought them last November. Yes, she bought them 14 months ahead of time before everyone else did. Since I found that out, I've been trying desperately to dream up a creative way to be deathly ill that day without letting down the family. Suggestions welcome - my precious bacon for the best idea. What puzzles me is why I am going to have to go through this - my neighbors and friends won't. What did I do? And even more strange is the fact that my wife owns none of her CDs. Was this an opportunity to torture her spouse that she just couldn't pass up?

Donnageddon · 06-24-2008, 11:10 PM

I think Marc makes a great point. It is obvious his taste in music is simply atrocious!

ZP and Yvan, I really think your esteemed collective taste and intellect are much better served bashing ol' montsnmags abysmal aural patheticness!

What do bagpipe players and accordionists have in common? They both enjoy stuffing feral cats in bags and squeezing them for their own sick enjoyment!
