I don't know how so many of the comments managed to be about the album cover. I bet half of you guys don't buy CDs anyway LOL.



Speaking of which, I picked up my copy of Truth of Touch today. It was quite expensive - CAD 18.99 plus tax (CDs tend to be CAD 12.99 - CAD 16.99 plus tax).

I doubt that I'll buy this, but I do think I'm going to pick up a used copy of Live at the Acropolis DVD from Amazon or EBay.

Good man, Willie. Also, your comment about the live violin players being the shit has tempted me to consider buying a ticket for when Yanni comes to Montreal this March.

I've never had the chance to see him live (in person), but I've seen a few televised live performances and his musicians always kick so much ass.

Violin rules. Annnd Montréal is Music City. It's actually the hotbed for music (Rolling Stones Magazine)

I think Jethro just won the whole thread. I don't know though - still thinking about it. Problem statement: students don't have much cash. I won't be eating for five days simply because I bought Truth of Touch today.



Conversations with you are slowly pushing me to the brink though, Willie.



Finally, I feel like bumping this to a 5.0 to combat the stupid 1.0 troll ratings. C'mon guys.

Don't waste your precious cash and come to see The Habs instead! (Le Canadien de Montréal)

LOL I just might start supporting the Habs. The Sens are seriously sucking so hard right now. I don't think they've won since mid-January. And there weren't many overtime losses in that stretch either. 0 points all the way!



But don't worry, quand les séries d'éliminatoires commencent, je vais être un partisan de Habs!! (am I saying it right?)



THIS IS MONTREAL!!

Pretty great as usual, Irving. I'd point out a very few things:
Quand les séries_éliminatoires commenceRONT, je SERAI ('vais être' is good, but it's a bad French, and your a good guy so haha). Also, 'Lorsque' would be better than 'quand', the latter being used more with a question mark. example: ''Quand est-ce que les séries vont commencer?''
I know, I know, French is a bitch. But English is too, trust me =P

Fair enough Deviant LOL. The Yanni page on Sputnik is the saddest thing ever. Like, only half of his works are on there. Bear in mind that out of that half, 75% was just added last week. By me.

YESSSSS man! also, I wouldn't consider your faults like 'mistakes', it's too minor for that. I assume you're using Google Translator' like me. Well, the semantic is not always well done there when it comes to do some ambitious sentences.

I only use Google Translate for when I'm not entirely sure how to spell a word (the presence of accents in French just throw me off!). But I have to agree with you that it is a very useful tool =)



I really hope I'll be able to be functionally trilingual before I have to leave Canada. You're my official online tutor Jethro, so you have to help me get there =p

It's a pleasure for me to be helpful. Check out your shout box. I personally use Google a lot. Rarely for the spelling, more for chosing words, and to (try to)build the proper sentence. Often I turn sentences upside down in French/English/English/French, and I change a word here or there until I have a so called well sounding sentence.
Edit: I can hear you about the accents.

"Once we get into the review itself, Irving treats us to several satisfying displays of man-crush inspired hyperbole."

I remember watching one of Yanni's concerts like 15 years ago and thinking "Man this is some good sh*t."

I can't say much anymore, or else Reviews Of Reviews will take this as evidence of my excessive fanboyism.
