Folders, myspace. You know. Crafted around an idea of Lennart, we came up with this.

They’ve released their second album. Why is this important? Well, they rock and I designed the cover. :p

Young artists or performers doing their material. The ‘Muzzen’ do Guerilla. Get in, materialize the idea and get out. There will be lots more of this crazy stuff. I promise!

The beauty of it is in the making…. We’re still looking for people with the same twisted minds. :)

I ordered the new Canon EOS 550D camera for its 24/25/30 fps 1080p video capabilities.

I might even use it as a small second body to tag along. :)

Some people got sick, some people were appalled, others were thrilled. Fact is, the band did shift the numbness of a crowd into attention. Even if this meant vomit. :)

Nothing wrong with being against monotheistic religions. Why not mock them then. :)

The 12th of december brings you the 2009 edition of the Free Acoustic Music Party.

Bring some food you can share with the rest of the crowd. The crowd is sharing their food with you. Be amazed of the hospitality and friendliness this festival has to offer. Good music, too. :)

The owner has a taunting, but viable plan to make this location and stage into a new music podium in the area. With room for 1500 people, a large stage equipped with all stuff you would expect, I think he could very well have something going there.

Website here.

The first band, ‘Mayor Myx’, played a set of their own songs in a somewhat ‘classic’ symphonic rock setting. Maybe that’s a wrong or unjust label, but that is how I would categorize the sound. The second band, ‘Impulse’ played Pink Floyd covers in a *very* convincing way. Impressive.

Not really my genres, but I enjoyed both bands nevertheless.

Anyway. Photos:

For years I’ve laughed about the idiots who’ve followed the lies about environmental stuff. Yes! let us all burn bio-diesel (never mind the rain-forrest, for being burnt down for rapeseed). Yes! Let us have hybrid cars (never the mind Africa for producing the 200Kg of acid batteries per car).

Europe is getting a ban on lightbulbs. The lie stretches to your home, too! :)

The light you see on my house is from the 6th (Yes, with a so called lifespan of 7 years) ‘eco friendly’ light that I’ve purchased since I’ve bought my house. My toilet however, is still being lit by the lightbulb I’ve put in the socket when I moved in 6.5 years ago.

So, I will not talk about the mercury I’ve released on saving energy, I will not talk about the plastic that has gone into the housing of those ‘bulbs’, nor the crude oil that has been pumped up to make this plastic housing, nor the toxic gasses that were released when accidentally breaking these clean eco thingies… I will not talk about that. I will simply say goodbye to my trustworthy lightbulb when it does kick the bucket. I will shatter the glass, along with my wine and whisky bottles, and I will bring its tiny bit of metal to the intake. Maybe it will return to me in the form of a beer-can. Let us just hope the mercury from the do good light bulbs won’t come back to me. Or to you…. Happy savings, people!

(edit: LOL! That was a long time ago I had one of those angry outbursts. :-) )
