The Blackbox Revelation: Never Alone / Always Together
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music Video on 11/03/2009
Can’t seem to get this Blackbox Revelation song out of my head… Enjoy Never Alone/Always Together (2008):
Listen to Never Alone/Always Together by The Black Box Revelation on Last.fm
Lyrics:
Is it hard or is it cool, my friend
To be two people in your head, all day?
I wish that you could be one personality
So you could talk & think the same
And this all would pass byNever alone, always together
Maybe you’re blessed, maybe you’re cursed
Never alone, always together
Sometimes I think it could be worseIs this truth or is the other telling lies
You change your voice and then to my surprise
You’re waging war behind your victim eyes
One of you laughing while I hear the other cryNever alone, always together
Maybe you’re blessed, maybe you’re cursed
Never alone, always together
Sometimes I think it could be worseNever alone, always together
Maybe you’re blessed, maybe you’re cursed
Never alone, always together
Sometimes I think it could be worse
Game over for FabChannel.com
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music News on 10/03/2009
In just four days, FabChannel.com will be taken offline. FabChannel is a Dutch website that has existed for nearly nine years and where you could tune in for live streams of concerts from small and big bands.

Justin Kniest, CEO of FabChannel, says goodbye to all members and visitors:
After nine passionate and beautiful years of sharing the most amazing concert recordings with you, Fabchannel is stopping. A great number of record labels still won’t allow us to record their artists. This prevents us from offering what we need to keep Fabchannel alive.
We want to sincerely thank you for all support through the years! It has been an amazing time, but unfortunately this is where it ends.
With a bleeding heart we’re pulling the plug of our online archive Friday 13th of March. Until that time, enjoy your favorite concerts and who knows we’ll meet again.
But maybe it would be better to put it this way:
No money means no content.
You can read the reasons why the plug is pulled on FabChannel on their blog.
Let’s hope the famous FabChannel won’t get lost (and hope someone with a lot of money will save the project)…
And enjoy the FabChannel concert library for a few more days. You can always start with the dEUS concert in Paradiso and then move on to Zita Swoon, Novastar, Absynthe Minded, Das Pop, A Brand, Milow, Sarah Bettens, Sukilove and many more…

Welcome to Big in Belgium

Hi and welcome to Big in Belgium.
I’ve been hesitating about which song I was going to use in the first post on this site, but after a few days I realized it had to be Suds & Soda by dEUS. The song was originally released in 1994 (from the Worst Case Scenario album) and apart from the start of my personal interest in Belgian rock music, it was also the start of a Belgian rock scene that still continues to grow today.
So enjoy:
