igenlodeMore fun with auto-translations: French translated via Russian into English somehow ends up rendering the Club parisien de la chanson d'auteur into the Suicide Song Club, which had me doing a double-take :-D
(I still do not understand how the auto-translate managed to get it so wrong, given that the Russian (human) translation was simply "the club of do-it-yourself songs"; I can only assume that самодеятельный has some kind of slang connotations that even online dictionaries [amateur/self-employed] don't seem to know about...)
