I n honour of the ongoing political and constitutional crisis at the neighbours herewith a very early vid noir of the unique artist Jacques Brel , who died much too young and whose biography truly fits that illusive amalgamate epithet, Belgian. But just as there are no Europeans, the Belgians are the owners of a similar non-existent pseudo ethnic label. The tribal Belgae have just as much relation...
There are a lot of jokes about the lack of famous Belgians but two famous people that I admire, Adolphe Sax and Jacques Brel, were Belgian. Sax invented the saxophone, and Jacques Brel wrote harsh. wonderful songs. “Next” (“Au Suivant”)...
I bought the 'best of' Jacques Brel off iTunes last night... £7.99 for 20 of his finer moments. It'll be nice to have some Brel on my iPod, but the studio versions don't quite capture him at his most incredible: you really need to see his expressions and his acting out of the songs. For example, here he is performing his classic break-up song 'Jef' . That's the version with the English subtitles, for...

When a bootleg album of David Bowie's Santa Monica Civic Auditorium stop on his 1972 Ziggy Stardust tour hit the market several years ago, I didn't even bother to listen to it because I couldn't imagine the music alone living up to my memory of such a spectacular visual presentation.But Virgin / EMI finally releases an official recording from that show next Tuesday, and against all odds the album does...

Sorry to harp on about Jacques Brel, but it's a long time since I got genuinely excited about discovering a 'new' artist. Admittedly, he's been dead some time now, and I don't understand French, but he's magical. So many songs, I'm finding new stuff I like every day: it's like a time capsule! I haven't opened iTunes for ages now, and am instead repeatedly listening to a YouTube playlist of Brel's awesome...
Early performance of Brel’s most often covered song, known in English by Rod McKuen’s adaptation “If You Go Away.” English subtitles are a literal translation of the lyric as Brel intended it. Not a love song, Brel tells us, but a song of lacheté, weakness, though most would disagree. @ haha.nu.
