Under Byen in Ekko
lees verderZo, nu het gedoe met de kapotte harde schijf achter de rug is weer eens een gewoon stukkie tekst. Vorige week woensdag zijn we weer eens een bandje gaan bekijken. Ditmaal was het opnieuw een Deense groep, Under Byen (spreek ongeveer uit als ‘onne buuen’) en dat was zeker leuk.

Rock Werchter 2008
lees verder
Zo, dat was m’n eerste meerdaagse-festival-ervaring. En wat voor een!
Lekker vier dagen in het Belgische Werchter genoten van geweldige optredens
van onder andere Sigur Rós, Radiohead, The Verve, Nightwish en Mika
(z’n muziek is zó vrolijk dat je er gewoonweg in een stortbui voor
blijft staan/springen!). Natuurlijk werd er ook genoten van het lekkere
weer en van het feit dat je helemaal niks te doen hebt… Lekker relaxen
dus :-) -

Fellowship of the Ring: Complete Recordings
lees verderExtreme bargain alert! I got this 3CD plus a DVD with the complete recordings of The Fellowship of the Ring at a ridiculous price of € 5,95 at Makro… Something of a 90% discount off the Amazon-prize. Someone really must have messed things up since I’ve seen it at said Makro for something around € 40,- not too long ago.

Efterklang - Tripper

Herman van Veen
lees verder
It has been a while since I wrote something here. Yesterday I was surprised with a visit to Herman van Veen, a Dutch singer and one of the creators of Alfred Jodocus Kwak. The school where my dad teaches is merged this year with another one and one of the festivities was this special gig of Herman van Veen for every employee with their partner. -

Godspeed you! Black emperor
lees verderAnd then, just when you think that there can be nothing like Sigur Rós, you bump into Godspeed you! Black emperor… Strange, very strange. The music is a little bit different, the texts are different, but the sound as a whole is the same.

Sigur Rós
