Lalalover: troubles and fights

Published on February 28, 2006 in Belgium and music. 2 Comments

It’s been a while since I was really pleasantly surprised by a new Belgian group (Moiano comes to mind) but it just happened again. I was humming along to the little pearl “Troubles and Fights” by Lalalover – “Wow, who’s that?” – and then I find out it’s a Belgian group started by Tom Kestens – former multi-instrumentalist with das pop.

Check out the song performed live on “De Laatste Show” – the supporting singer is Belgium’s best soul voice Stef Caers, of Moiano and Krewcial fame.

De juiste naam plakken bij de gezichten van de Parelvissers was redelijk evident, maar nu heb ik uw hulp nodig voor iets moeilijker: de juiste naam geven aan elke rug op de volgende foto:

Mijn kleine teentje zegt me dat de dames in het gezelschap eerder aan de rechtse kant zitten, maar het zijn allebei donkere types, dus dat helpt nog niet eens zoveel.

De volgende foto’s kunnen helpen omdat we kunnen veronderstellen dat de haarsnit en baardgroei (voor de mannen dan) erop dezelfde is als de foto hierboven.

Ancienne Belgique rocks

Published on February 28, 2006 in wifi. Closed

I’m in the restaurant of the Ancienne Belgique and it’s only a few steps away from heaven:

  • I just had a wonderful dinner (fish – sea bass, I believe)
  • I was waited upon by the lovely Marie
  • The AB cafe & restaurant are smoke-free and that makes a big difference
  • there is an open Wifi-spot here (“Petra Netzwerk” – on Plazes)

All four things add up to a splendid evening!
