Port des Indes



Port des Indes is something of a rarity in Brussels, a top quality Indian restaurant. The Thali I ate there tonight was excellent and wouldn't have been out of place in one of the UK's finest Indian eatery's. I was especially impressed with the wooden statue of Stacia on the stairwell. Perhaps I was just Born To Go there.

The owner, Belgian nomad and antiques collector Karl Steppe, also runs the Blue Elephant Thai restaurant in Brussels. On the strength of the quality of the Indian food I had tonight I'll have to pay that a visit some time.

La Porte des Indes Brussels 455 Av. Louise, 1050 Brussels, Belgium Tel: +32 2 647 86 51 Fax: +32 2 640 30 59 E-mail: brussels@LaPorteDesIndes.com

To get there by public transport, take the 94 tram from Place de Louise and get off at Abbaye. From there the restaurant is a short walk up the street.

Hi Jimmy. The prices were a tad steep at 32 Euros for that Thali, but then again the food was good. Not quite up to the standard of the Hall of the Mountain Grill though. Their 'Beenz' on toast is legendary.

Life On Mars Soundtrack

Am I mad, in a coma, or have I just been listening to the Life On Mars Original Soundtrack CD. Most excellent. Not surprising really as the picking ground for material, the 70's, has been identified as the best decade for popular music. My only criticism of it is the lack of any Hawkwind , not that I'm biased, especially as the show has featured Brainstorm , Silver Machine , Urban Guerrilla , Ejection and You Shouldn't Do That over its two seasons. Still there's always the potential for a second soundtrack album at some stage in the future and plenty of material still to chose from. Track Listing King Of The Jungle (dialogue) David Bowie - Life On Mars Roxy Music - Street Life Wings - Live And Let Die ELO - 10538 Overture John Kongos - Tokoloshe Man Atomic Rooster - Devil's Answer T Rex - Rock On Free - Little Bit Of Love Lee 'Scratch' Perry and the Upsetters - Jungle Lion Armed Bastards (dialogue) The Sweet - Blockbuster The Faces - Cindy Incidentally A

The 100 Best and Absolute Greatest Heavy Metal Albums in the World, Ever.

As I've just about completed my collection of 100 CDs culled from Jacelyn Bond's damn fine book, and bastard of a charade title, The 100 Best and Absolute Greatest Heavy Metal Albums in the World, Ever , I thought it was about time I blogged the list to aid anyone else who wants to make their world a little heavier. Collecting the albums has been a long strange trip through the annals of rock history and taken me through classics by the likes of Sabbath, AC/DC and Deep Purple to Scandinavian Death Metal. Yes the choices are debateable but the book is a great way of discovering some wonderful music to headbang like a maniac to. It's got some notable omisions too, in particular a certain Black Country band who most would argue are the greatest rock and roll band of all timel and who cast a giant blimp shaped shaddow over the genre. In addition to the 100 albums I've also listed the other albums by the bands concerned that the book says are worth getting, so if any of
