AndreG. Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Although i´m not following soccer very much, i hope our team will make it to the finals. Too bad that corona won´t let fans celebrate the way they used to... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_flht Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi 😁 The French are generally chauvinistic, but I like other teams. At the moment in France we have a very good team with exceptional players, Mbappé in particular is very strong and Pogba is brilliant, the rest of the team is also at the top. In my opinion I think the Belgians are among the favorites, I like this team, the other very strong ones are Germany, Italy and France. Tonight France - Switzerland: There are 6 of us at home and tonight there are 5 supporters for Switzerland and 1 for France, me 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The Soccer world champion France can no longer become European champion, lose to the team of Switzerland, the glaring outsider. Who would have thought that, after a 3 : 1 lead then 3 : 3 in overtime, lose in the penalty shootout. You played like real world champions at times, I'm sorry @mustang_flht but now the Swiss are playing against the Spanish. That´s football, you´ll never know until the game is over . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with France out of the way (thank you, Switzerland), I think we, Belgians, are best qualified to win this tournament! Italy is a tough competitor too, though. Well, the ball is round and can roll in any direction, I guess. I just hope for fair matches with no injuries. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_flht Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi everyone, To stay in the general theme of vinyls and a little football (soccer for US) at the moment, and especially because I am not resentful today 🥵😁 https://www.discogs.com/fr/Various-30-Jahre-Jazz-Made-In-Switzerland-1935-1965/release/11369027 Notice the real "Made in Switzerland" engraved on the black part 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 With the Tour de France on its way, with plenty of falls and injuries, does anybody have the vinyl record of Kraftwerk's Tour de France? https://www.discogs.com/Kraftwerk-Tour-De-France/master/78835 A couple of months ago, I held it in my hands in the record shop, but then put it back, and now I so much regret not buying it... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_flht Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I have 2xLPs Radioactivity that I bought recently, but not Tour de France, too bad. For many their best LP is The Man-Machine, but they're all awesome. Do you know the German duo NEU! it was the rhythm section of the beginning of the group Kraftwerk: I recommend the first disc of 1971: NEU! Kraftwerk is a band that I have known since 1975, I have the 45T Radioactivity of the time at the top among others. Hey @MeloManiac I have lots of Belgian records, I'll have to put one or two for you soon to support the team 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 This surfaced and is now spinnin it's lil heart out. Melissa Manchester? Yea, this woman CAN cook! One great voice back in the day and she's still throwin em down today on her tours. Met up with her again a few years ago up on Lake Erie and had some major laffs. Great person and more than carries her load. Her 3rd LP from 1975. Cleaned w/the VPI and sounds amazing. Been a long time! Number 12 on the US charts with "Midnight Blue" reaching #6 that year. Just a lil frippertronics from 1980. Robert Fripp's second solo LP. Starting to get ready for a road trip to Phoenix in September to see this gaggle of misfits. Can't wait. Hot date w/my youngest daughter. A few surprises for her if things work out. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My very first amp was the Sansui AU217 but foolishly sold it long time ago Saw the error of my way and looked for a Sansui AU317 to replace it but had no luck Found the AU117 instead by lucky chance and quickly snapped it up - never looked back Edit - The only thing I miss is the pre out isolation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
