BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

76.You keep tapping the rhythm to Jarre's songs on the counter at work,much to the annoyance of others.(I do it everyday!!)
77.When at the cinema,you think wouldn't it be great to watch the Gdansk DVD on this thing.

I prefer 52, 63 and 65.

@ Christophe: Yes, really

78: Take Oxygene as ringtone and ask a friend to call you at school/work

79: Take AMR's old ladie's umbrella and use it as keytar, humming Industrial Revolution.

80. Your living room wallpaper is a magnified panorama image of a view over the La Defence Consert.
81. You are running thru the woods and diving into a lake in your search for an 8-pin component for a printed circuit board.
82. There is a tree in your garden with choped branches.
83. You like to sit with your legs high and feets resting on a synthesizer keyboard.

82. There is a tree in your garden with shopped branches.

How does this work?

Love Leelene

That should be chopped I guess... think about the Beijing concert

I'm sorry...I didn't knew how to spill.

Hey - no problem... Lee didn't know what you meant

So they chopped all the branches on the treas at that concert?

Love Leelene

There were quite some trees that blocked the view of the spectators, so JMJ wanted to have them trimmed a little, but the chinese authorities refused and refused, and eventually, they agreed, but instead of trimming, they completely chopped the trees down. I think they haven't grown back ever since...


but... let's return ontopic

That's a little bit extreme, isn't it? JMJ asks for trimming branches, and the Chinese chop the whole trees!

You know you're a fanatic when you get excited by Jarre rarities on eBay...I don't why and yes, I do have a life.

You're even more of a fanatic when you pay (what is the term someone on this forum used?) that's right..."Silly Money"!

You only live once! Or twice as the case may be...

But the second time around this Jarre stuff will not only be rare... they'll be ancient artifacts!

But I digress...


:~D
