It says they'll be back soon in Belgium for a rematch, because last time Jim lost his voice (was sick)... No date given, though.

Who's the guy on the left?? And where's Patrick??  ???
Help me out guys!!

Jim himself:

I want to listen to music without asking myself "do i wear the right trousers?"

;)

[Lieven]

Hmm...
Link seems to be slow.
Hope problem lies with server, no clue what I would have done wrong.

[Lievenn]

OK, was/is the server, just checked technical forum...

thanks lieven,
worked good for me.

but uh, what do you mean, guy on the left... doens't he look like uhh...

[Lieven]

Oh my god, it is Patrick!
I didn't recognize him at first, because of the shorter hair.

Shame on me  :-[

And please don't check the time of my first post and time of this one to calculate how long it took me to recognize him  ;)

[Oz]

Shorter hair? It's just in a pony tail, right?

By the way, the link works fine with me, but when I open it, the page fits to my computer screen, wich causes the letters to be so small I can't read them. This also happens with the articles from the PRESS section. Any ideas how to fix this, without having to print the page?

[Lieven]

Here's how to do the trick:

*) When enabled, your browser automatically resizes the images. But if you keep your cursor on the image, an-orange-button-with-4-blue-arrows should appear in the bottom-right corner of the image. Click that button to resize the image to its actual size.

*) Images are automatically resized, otherwise if you would open a real big centerfold (for example), you would only see her nose on you screen  ::), and would have to use the scrollbarrs to often.
However, if you don't like that automatic resizing you can disable it!! In your browser (IE), click "Tools - Options". In the "Advanced" tab, uncheck the "enable automatic image resizing" (under Multimedia). Refresh the page and you'll see the picture in its original size.

You're welcome!!  ;)

About Patrick: shorter hair or ponytail, whatever, "didn't recognize him because of different hairstyle", is what i meant.

very good article though.  I'm glad humo didn't forget this talented band. Now I have faith again in Belgian press.  Hey O, how is it in the Netherlands? Is popularity fading?

[Oz]

Well, they still get their annual reports in the press, it's just that 3 years ago they played bigger venues than they do nowadays. The hype has faded, I suppose, wich is too bad, really...

Oh, and Lieven: thanks for the tip!  :)

[Oz]

It's a damn cool interview, by the way, but then again, almost everything in Humo is pretty cool. It's cool to read he likes Bill Murray, but a little shocking he doesn't like David Bowie. I mean: Bowie! He rules!

[lfish]

Well maybe Jim saw bowie once to many in horrible looking trousers.  ;D  I can't blame that. Nevertheless his music is timeless.

[Oz]

By the way, everytime I saw the guys live, Jim was definitely wearing the right trousers! Dammit, one time I almost went backstage to buy his trousers! Amsterdam, 2002, he had painted all kinds of stupid cartoons on his pants. Damn, those were cool pants!  I personally think the guys are damn good looking, damn fashionable, damn cool! It's just that they don't try, but that makes it even cooler.  :)
