Okay, I admit I've never heard of Jimi Handrix.....sorry, that was a cheap shot...

"I do it deliberately to try to get people interested in those bands. I don't see what's wrong with that"

It's fucking offensive, that's whats wrong with it. You've started posting on here like some fucking monk preaching on high about obscure wonders mere mortals would never have heard of. Like I said, you are trying to position yourself as some wise old master, and it stinks. It's patronising to the max and no-one with any self respect would ever think 'uh, JDTRAYNOR likes cd's of hungarian nose flute quintets playing carpenters covers, I think I'll check some of that out'

"What you choose to see in me.... is a creation of your own, not mine"

That's an attempt at an evasive cop out that I'm not going to let you take. My opinions of you are based purely on your 'educational' posts on this board, and like I said, an intense hope that I don't turn out like you.

Exactly.

As for french bands singing in english :
1°) our english teachers are so bad that french singing in english are often awful
2°) it's nearly impossible for a non-electro band singing in english to get radio airplays so they usually aren't even signed.

I can understand what you likes in Francoise Breut. She's part of a 'nouvelle scene francaise' with people like Keren Ann, Cali, La grande Sophie who try to mixed english influences with more traditional french music the same way Dominique A try do to it 10 years ago.
