november evening greetings to you stelios! i hope autumn finds you well. your music (along with rockettothesky's) is the perfect autumnal accompaniment..
Που πάνε οι ήχοι όταν φεύγουν? Επιστρατεύσαμε 14 χορδές και μερικά πλήκτρα για να τους αναζητήσουμε Τους εντοπίσαμε σε ταράτσες και δρόμους Και τους φέρνουμε στη σκηνή
Προς το παρόν, τρέχω να οργανωθώ, συνεπώς δεν ήμουν πολύ prog rock στα τσάγια. Πήρα μόνο κάτι φακελάκια twinings...Μη στεναχωριέσαι και μην απελπίζεσαι! Προσεχώς ολοκαύτωμα! Την πρώτη μέρα τελικά με έπιασε όντως πονοκέφαλος, γιατί κάποια στιγμή είχε κάτω από 6 βαθμούς και σήκωσε αέρα ο οποίος ήταν ακόμα πιο κρύος, αλλά μετά και την φρίκη του πρώτου μπάνιου (χωρίς επαρκή αριθμό σωμάτων καλοριφέρ γ@μ% τ&ν π0^τ@ν@ μ0^!) συνήλθα. Πλέον εγκλιματίστηκα. Πρόλαβα να πάω και στο πρώτο μου σεμινάριο. Γενικά ωραία είναι. Μικρούλι και γεμάτο πράσινο - περισσότερο απ'όσο νόμιζα. Έκανα και ένα θεϊκό playlist την παρασκευή: Camel, Megadeth, Entombed, Van der Graaf και Snapcase...ωϊμέ! Δεν χάνομαι.
I know..its gonna take years to properly evaluate this excellent fusion of folk and western-modern elements..thank god it has been done by foreign music scholars..
