Who the fuck thought that would be a good idea!

The city probably needed more parking ticket revenue.

I would have thought as well Elsass would be green(er).

Elsass?  What are you some sort of traitor?

Move on, paléo-jacobin :
selon l'article 75-1 de la constitution, « Les langues régionales appartiennent au patrimoine de la France »

On the other hand, I know and practice laïcité , unlike that failed mix of Germany and (provincial) France

Hey Lettow, check out "Anime that Jazz" on Youtube. They're a band that does Jazz renditions of anime theme songs. Pretty damn good, though I wish I could find some more jazz like was written for Cowboy Bebop and Baccano. It's quite fast and uptempo, not sure what subgenre it falls under.

Yep, a Kärcher device.

But that's the opposite of what Malthus said. He said it isn't a waste of time.

True art is not about the product, it is about the process.

Thanks for sharing! If you are into this sort of thing, you might enjoy the recently-aired Sakamichi No Apollon, which about the members of a Japanese Jazz Band in the 1960s. It also has some things that are more distinctly Kyushu based, and an interesting series on the whole, albiet I don't know if the whole josei vibes it gives off are for you.

Also, pop orchestra performances are usually fairly poor, but this rendition of Undine is quite wonderful, I think- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mddLG4L0hVU
