2008-04-20T20:40:00.002+02:00

The lyrics of all Vantage Point songs are now in the song book, along with information about each song, compiled from the Pocket Revolution blog. I also added "Oh Well", a song title which appeared on a white board in the dEUS studio.

2008-04-14T22:34:00.003+02:00

I added the Universal Belgium release of The Architect/Slow, thanks to RabbitField's Marc.

New in the discography: the Architect/Slow promo CD. Thanks to Kevin for scanning all that stuff.

Vantage Point promo details

2008-04-04T15:12:00.003+02:00

I added the watermarked promo version of Vantage Point to the discography, including scans of the rear cover artwork and of the disc. The new visual identity of dEUS is a complete success.

New feature: Twitter updates

2008-03-29T17:40:00.002+01:00

On the left sidebar, you'll see a new section: "Hotellounge on Twitter"? That's the RSS feed of the Twitter page I created for hotellounge.com. Thanks to that I can post updates on the go, including live feedback during concerts (that's the main idea for using this, actually). Feel free to add that page's RSS feed to your news reader.

(No idea what RSS is? It's a really useful technology!)

Motel Mozaique, Slow 7", Vantage Point 12" & digi

2008-03-29T00:59:00.002+01:00

Added the April 11 Motel Mozaique tour date, and some discography elements: the Slow 7" and the Vantage Point digipack and LP.

Press: Tom interview by FM4

2008-03-28T11:43:00.003+01:00

Here's the English translation of yesterday's interview with Tom Barman on the FM4 website, thanks to lovedeus.

Listen to the 2005 Barcelona gig

2008-03-27T19:54:00.003+01:00

On the Pocket Revolution tour I followed dEUS around a bit, usually with my MD-recorder running in my back pocket. Here's my recording of the Barcelona gig from December 2005. It's very unprofessional, as I danced and sang a lot.

Evergreen (Nothing Really Ends)

2008-03-27T13:35:00.004+01:00

The audio/video section contained a whole lot of links that don't work anymore, so I removed all those. I also added a 2000 radio performance of Evergreen (RealAudio format), a song which would later be expanded and released as Nothing Really Ends. Quinten, webmaster of the fantastic Deadbeattown, recorded that one.

And if you haven't watched it yet, there's also a 1-hour long video of Tom & Guy at the Montreux Jazz Festival, back in 2000. Look for it in the video section.

Meeting You: lyrics

2008-03-27T12:23:00.003+01:00

Here are the lyrics to Meeting You, a 2005 dEUS B-side released on the 7 days, 7 weeks EP, courtesy of Eva.

Is it kinda wasted
Am I wasting my time
Someone never helps me
Not losing my mind

Oooh it's kinda funny
Meeting you
Oooh it's kinda funny
Meeting you

Someone stole my bike now
It was red and broken and twisted
The brakes were dead

Oooh it's kinda funny
I meant to drive it to you

Oooh it's kinda funny
I meant to drive it to you

Slow, 1-track promo

2008-03-26T15:48:00.003+01:00

Check out the complete artwork (front cover, back, CD) for the 1-track promo version of Slow! [thx to Kevin]

Oh Your God lyrics / If You Don't promo

2008-03-24T21:05:00.004+01:00

The lyrics for Oh Your God (transcribed my great friend Erin) are now in the song book, where I also created individual pages for each Vantage Point song, including some information about Smokers Reflect and The Vanishing of Maria Schneider.
I also added a promo version of the If You Don't Get What You Want single, thanks to Kevin Moens, of soulwax.info fame.

Pocket Revolution Burnt, regular & Taiwan versions

2008-03-24T13:26:00.003+01:00

I added the regular & Taiwanese versions of Pocket Revolution Burnt to the dEUS discography.

WCS - Japan version + 7 days, 7 weeks

2008-03-24T00:22:00.006+01:00

Fresh from eBay, I just scanned the Japan version of WCS. To see how dEUS is written in Japanese, check out the WCS discography page. I also updated information about the WCS LP.

7 days, 7 weeks: I found a 2-track promo with Stop-Start Nature on it. It's here.

On a technical note, hotellounge.com is now hosted near Lille in France, and as far as I can see it is now loading much, much faster. I still have to solve problems with the tour diary, though - for the time being, it's just a collection of static pages, so that you can't post any comment or use the RSS features. Working on it!

Moving to a new server

2008-03-17T23:01:00.003+01:00

In the coming days hotellounge.com and wastedwounded.com (where I host the tour diary) will be moved to their new server, so don't worry if you cannot access them for some time.

dEUS in Breda

2008-03-17T12:19:00.001+01:00

Added the April 6 dEUS gig at Mezz, Breda to the 2008 tourdates.

Wheels lyrics

2008-03-07T02:21:00.002+01:00

In 2004, dEUS played a rock'n'roll song called Wheels. It's a B-side from the 7 days, 7 weeks single. Now I've got some lyrics, courtesy of Erin. Discuss them here, some words are missing.

Pocket Revolution song pages finally online

2008-03-06T12:28:00.003+01:00

With a slight delay (just 2 1/2 years, not that much then), here are the song pages for Pocket Revolution. They'll look crap under Firefox. And Safari. And IE 5. I'm a crappy designer :-)

dEUS - Pocket Revolution
01 Bad Timing
02 7 days, 7 weeks
03 Stop-Start Nature
04 If You Don't Get What You Want
05 What We Talk About (When We Talk About Love)
06 Include Me Out
07 Pocket Revolution
08 Nightshopping
09 Cold Sun of Circumstance
10 The Real Sugar
11 Sun Ra
12 Nothing Really Ends

The information comes from the Pocket Revolution booklet, but also from older sources and from this very convenient post on Bart's blog.

Artwork: Michaël Borremans

2008-03-05T00:38:00.003+01:00

More information about the fantastic drawings by Michaël Borremans used for the Vantage Point artwork, thanks to his interview for Knack.

Slow & The Architect lyrics

2008-03-03T11:19:00.002+01:00

I added the (approximate) lyrics to Slow & The Architect. It's a work in progress: there's a discussion about those lyrics on the dEUS forum.

EDIT: HUMO published the official Architect lyrics, so I updated the song page accordingly.

The home page now has a Vantage Point "theme".

Discography updated/2008 tour

2008-03-03T11:15:00.001+01:00

The discography section now has pages about Vantage Point, The Architect and Slow.

The tour section now contains all announced dates for 2008. I also updated the 2005 and 2006 pages.

What's this?

2008-03-03T10:50:00.002+01:00

This is just a little "blog" I set up to notify any update to hotellounge.com. It's easier for me to update this than my old "latest updates" page, and if you want to be informed on any changes to the website, you can subscribe to the RSS feed.
