This month, each weekly issue of HUMO magazine comes with an instalment of the 4-part "Belgentop 2000", a compilation containing 80 of the past decade's best songs by Belgian artists. dEUS is featured on all 4 CD's, with Nothing Really Ends (Jan. 5), If You Don't Get What You Want (Jan. 12), What We Talk About (Jan. 19) and The Architect (Jan. 26).
See the complete tracklisting on HUMO's website. There are also songs by Mauro, Tom's Magnus, Stef Kamil's Zita Swoon, Danny's Vive la FĂȘte, but not a single Dead Man Ray song.

An anthology compilation of Island Records artists was recently released, where Little Arithmetics (from In A Bar Under The Sea) shares CD space with the likes of Roxy Music, The B-52's, Pulp, John Cale or Portishead. Island Records, now part of Universal Music, had signed dEUS back in 1994.Tom Barman joined Stef Kamil Carlens with Zita Swoon on stage again tonight. With John Parish on guitar, they first played Great American Nude (again) in front of a packed Ancienne Belgique, followed by a cover of the Velvet Underground's "Temptation Inside Your Heart" (again).
Tickets are still available for the third Zita Swoon gig, this coming Saturday.
