Infallible

You went to the most recent one, or one of the earlier ones? Do you have any specific impressions for those songs? Lyrics?

Taking your penis out during is frowned upon. That's how I listen though.
You have to shave your nipples if you want to be with me.

True, but its not like they are watching a movie, they are just listening, it would be nice if the seemed more enthused but they could just be trying to take in what they are hearing

Yikes. I guess it would be a little awkward. But that looks like a nice room to listen in. Don't quite get the somberness.

Joost wrote the Alternative Nation review after the Amsterdam listening session. You can still read it in 'reviews' or 'reviews combined'.

Thank you, and God a Bless America
Stip, you are smart. It is never too late to learn a language ;). I still owe you two mini translations.

I think I was enthusiastic, but just held back because I was not sure about the lyrics.

I was really struggling with that translation. It's the word "ausufern" which also could be translated as "getting out of hand" or "to overflow".
Spreading, maybe? I always like Interglot for single word translations, just to see what they come up with. In this case it does not get far, so through Dutch I would make it something like 'taking over'.

Yes, not sure when though. It's a 3 hour show and making it through that whole show will be painful. It's only been half an hour and I'm struggling. Can't stand Berman, Carter, and Keyshawn Johnson.
