Apparently an artist called Johnny Foreigner has 'stolen' a few lines from Hotellounge for his song Absolute Balance. You can listen to the song on Last.FM.

“You see that girl...” is from ‘Hotellounge’ by dEUS, one of the best songs ever written. Tom Barman, the singer, stole words from REM for the album that song’s on, so I felt I was more carrying on a tradition than stealing art.

A new episode of the official podcast has been published, including this video-impression of the trip to Portugal.

The official videos for Eternal Woman and Favourite Game have found their way to the Audio/video-page on dEUS.be. They will probably appear on the dEUS-Youtube-channel too.

(thx to Tijs)

Eternal Woman is track of the day on Q Radio, the internetradio of Q Magazine. They describe dEUS as ,,probably the most consistent and long-faring act of the past couple of decades''.

About Eternal Woman:

Eternal Woman is taken from the band’s most recent album Vantage Point (astonishingly only their fifth when you consider that next year they mark their 20th year), and is a dreamy, string-bathed, harmony-rich beauty with an understated trebley, chiming acoustic guitar riff.

According to this article the Eternal Woman-single will be released on September 8th.

3 songs from the gig at Oxegen are also available on Dimeadozen. Here's the torrent.

I received an interesting mail from Dennis yesterday evening. He has made a torrent-file of a demo-tape from the The Ideal Crash-sessions in 1998. It contains 5 songs, including early demo-versions of Instant Street, Sam Peckinpah's Daughter and Sister Dew. Too titles on the tape have made their way in other versions: Snuck Out became Magdalena and Sixth & The Last became One Advice, Space.

The torrent is available here. (I've asked Dennis permission to publish it in mp3-format for those of you who don't have acces to Dime)

Tom was interviewed by Studio Brussel about the Ostend Filmfestival. You can listen to it on the podcast.

The complete Lowlands-gig is now available on 3voor12. Click here to listen to it.

Apparently the gig at the Cabaret Vert-festival last saturday was cancelled because of problems with Tom's voice.
