Christine Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 maybe we can start a Petition for him to make a DVD about that concert , it would be time enough and he still would have time enough to organize it. It might help to approach the symphony as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathouzouf Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It might help to approach the symphony as well. That's what I'm planning to do. The experience I have with their customer service so far is great. (As I suggested to them to look the Mika way). You never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Rufus Wainright's husband became the director of a festival in Toronto a couple of years ago so they moved here. I was so excited because I knew it would mean lots of special concerts and Toronto would no longer be just a stop on a tour. Last year he did a gig with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and their venue is virtually identical inside to the one in Montreal. It was brilliant. They did orchestral arrangements of his songs and he had a guest opera singer to do some duets and a couple of arias from his opera. I don't care that Mika's career hasn't had the same trajectory as, say, Katy Perry. But I would have liked to see him take advantage of a niche appeal by working on the kinds of projects that Rufus does and always expected that London would be the city that benefits because it's his hometown. It may be a year away but it's really something to look forward to and I feel lucky to be close enough to take advantage of it. I hope more things are announced in Europe and we can enjoy Mika being a proper musician again and not just sit in our living rooms watching him be a celebrity on TV. I've so wanted and waited for Mika to do something special like this, ever since he performed with the King's Singers and we never know, there could be more collaborations coming in different cities/countries. And yes, it's a year away but it has a weird psychological effect, now we have it confirmed that there's something really good happening in the future! Btw, Rufus is coming to Helsinki in three weeks! I had almost forgotten it and realized only yesterday how close the date is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve already started bombing Mika with comments like this on his FB page))) "I hope a concert DVD will be released...." Honestly , I think it`s a good idea to make dvd like the one from Paris. It will be another highlight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my scene. The venue looked like an amazing atmosphere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm going to see Rufus. I have a ticket but I had somehow forgotten the date and only now realized it's in March. I will be in London a few previous days, luckily didn't book that day Union Chapel is a magical place I really loved that performance, he obviously did the best he could.

Marilyn Mastin Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I am dreaming of a live album of this concert...it could be possible, it's a so particular event... What do you think? Can I continue dreaming about it ?? I was thinking of him hopefully recording a DVD, but a live album might sell in many countries. I'd still love a DVD though.

It took me a bit to figure out the reason for this, but then I did. Very cool. By the way, a small brag-I read the French and Italian tweets and only had to look up one word-ogni. I feel like a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerMoment1608 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Becausemusic is the label of London Grammar I don't like these meanings of flowers, if I'm making a flower present to someone I want to choose flowers who look good to my mind, without worrying to send strange / wrong messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Why is he saying things like that? He must have known that many flowers have a symbolic meaning. actually until my wedding i had no idea of this. some flowers, yes. of course everyone knows what a red rose means, i'm sure mika does, too. and that certain flowers are used at funerals, and stuff like that. but i had no idea that every flower has a meaning. plus, i noticed that the same flower can have completely different meanings for different people. for example ivy, it stands for eternal life, so it's a typical funeral plant, but it can also stand for faithfulness and thus is often used at weddings. same for the white lily, it stands for innocence, but is also typical for funerals in the sense of "you're free of sins". that's all the details you can find online, but what you know without looking it up is mostly just "lilies stand for death, as they're typical funeral flowers". only when i searched for wedding flowers, i got to know all those details. and i still wouldn't remember the meaning of most flowers now. so i'm not surprised that mika doesn't have a detailed knowledge of this either.

That's true, and I can't remember those meanings even I if I've heard them, I just meant that surely he knows flowers have symbolic meanings. I buy flowers just because they are beautiful and I check/ask the meaning only in rare cases, like for funerals etc something really important.

LaraMay Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yeah, like you girls said, there are unwritten rules of certain flowers for certain occasions. I didn't know that until I opened my flower shop though However, there are many customers who don't care and just want something that looks good to them which is cool. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that some customers feel that you can't give pink or purple flowers to men because it's not "manly" enough; Totally ridicilous of course.

Christine Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I only had the vaguest notion of all flowers having a meaning. It was just a strange Victorian custom as far as I was aware and didn't think it was relevant anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwendin Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't know any actual person who cares about flowers meaning, flowers are just good looking and that's all (except for chrysanthemums ) But I thought everybody was aware about the trivial that every flower has a meaning.
