    Change your subscription setting for the thread! Might be worth changing the default setting too.

    You might want to turn off the emails notifications if we're planning on making it to OT #2!

    In my defence I had had a bad day.

    I will admit I reacted like a bollix however. Apologies.

    Yeah, you want to subscribe to thread, but not to instant email alerts. Cause there are other 4000 posts to go, and you don't want 4000 emails.

    I swear I've been told about Coeur de Pirate around 500 times by now. They don't appeal to me too much tbh !

    Joe le Taxi and Voyage Voyage. And as much as I don't like Rap, in French it sounds amazing, too bad I have trouble finding it.

    Does listening to French music actually help all that much? I'm a tad skeptical about it, I only really listen to it because it's catchy.

    I dont think so, but listening to French podcasts on the way to school has improved my oral and aural.

    I always have great intentions to listen to French/Irish aural stuff on my 20 minute walk every morning but I never get past the first 3 minutes. I had the French CD in my hi-fi aswell but I never actually used it.....it has now been replaced by the Jake Bugg CD (<3) I got for my birthday.


    Music wins over aural every time.

    My best friend who gave it to me didn't think I would either. She wrote me this practically half page essay about him and his style and how I probably didn't know him and how he was recommended to her by the lad in the sop who she's slightly in love with and how she hopes I'd like it. As I was reading this very long birthday card I was getting a sneaking suspicion that it was hime because she'd been singing one of his songs all week!

    This just reminded me of something! Today I watched a French movie called Skate or Die. The title put me off a little, but it was just starting so I thought I'd give it a watch, and it was all right. Though it contained one of the worst special effects I have ever seen, if you ever get to watch you'll know what I mean :D .

    That's..only..slightly..weird.. ?

    And remember the classic - Stromae - Alors On Danse .

    Now instead of doing something constructive I'm looking for French songs on YT :D . At least they're etter than German. Either Rammstein, or some Techno. Jeez.

    Out of them all I like Die Toten Hosen the most. I still remember my father playing their cassetes :D .

    This one's fairly easy to follow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BAKb2p450Q .

    Hey bro, since you're not filling everyone's drama quota here's what I actually said, with your lovely "calm" responses. Ignore the 05 before my timecodes, that's colouration so I can identify parts, joins and my own posts.
