This Summer, during the Wish Outdoor festival in Beek & Donk, I got the unique opportunity to interview my youth heroes, the Danish Euro Pop group Toy-Box. When I was 8, I was just about their biggest fan and I really liked their music. Ever since then, their music gained a cult status and became […]

Another brick off the wall…
Duisburg, Westdeutschland (West Germany). It’s the morning after the 9th of november 1989, just past 10 AM. Huib, a 37 year old Dutch citizen leaves his train. It was the first international train coming from the Netherlands for that day. Huib is on his way to Hamm to visit the store where he bought his […]
Oh, who would ever wanna be king?
Did you ever hear the song Viva la Vida by Coldplay? It’s one of my favourite songs by the world famous British rock band. One of the reasons I love it so much is because of the amazing story it tells. Imagine yourself… You are the king, the king of your castle. The world lies […]
Weblog. Now with added English.
I have made a weblog! Why? To celebrate the year in which my weblog exists for ten years! 10 years ago, trough a domain name I started my first weblog and write quite some articles. Mostly in Dutch. Now, in 2016, i spend most of my days talking in English, so I imagine it would […]
‘Wilders is the one to blame it all on’
While heading in for my train home, I scan my card at the scanner to check in. “Have a good journey”, it tells me. “I’ll decide that for my self, okay?”, I mumble on the inside. Then again, the poor scanner can’t be blamed for it. I decide to try to cheer up my grumpy […]

Roadmap to world domination – 1: Planning and Plotting
Like you all (should) know, i’ve been working hard for many years to achieve world domination. Ruling the world alone is usefull in many ways even if not for the cheesy pickup line “Hey baby, wanna rule the world together?” you could use in bars. But, there are also useful plans! As for a start, […]
About Pickaxes and burning in hell. And Krezip!
Alex has – to me- a kind of strange idea taste in music. Furthermore, Alex is slightly “sturdy” and maybe even “evil”. Evil in the way of “Going for absolute world domination”. Anyway, apart from that he is – just like me – very good in bashing on stupid stuff. Especially about artists he doesn’t […]
Tied up to the ground, we’re spiralling around…
I never saw the light I never saw the light I waited up all night But I never saw the light When we fall in love We’re just falling In love with ourselves We’re spiralling We’re tumbling down We’re spiralling Tied up to the ground We’re spiralling More music in the morning O+ This article […]
Superfrog!
Last friday i stumbled across a blogpost by Dutch Radio 3FM Radio DJ Bart Arens who made a post about Superfrog: I’m not a gamer. It’s a waste of my time. Obviously, i don’t have a console. Friendly request: Don’t laugh. The only game that I ever played and finished was the Commodore Amiga platform […]
