Marco Grandia is a guy who I know now for quite a long time. I think
I met him in the Energiehal (Saturdaynightrollersk8boardingdisco) in the
late 80′s or early 90′s. He was besides a skateboarder always filming with
his videocamera. Now you can take a look what the result is, when you just
keep on filming besides having a lot of talent. O yes, and besides being a
filmmaker he’s a superb magical cardplayer.
His website is made by Frank Hartman (He also has a new website). They both
had a magazine in the past called ‘Circus’, which was hilarious!
Something else: In the Dutch Financial Daily from last Saturday there is this
article about Populism, but the article starts with our quote from ‘Art is Arrogant’.
I think that is really cool.

1st of all, for all you rotterdam hobos, upcoming THURSDAY there’s a birthday
party at WaterFront, starring the DGG and Costanza (rising from the ashes of
beaver feaver). Don’t forget to kiss both birthday boys (Robin and Tjeerd).
2nd.
Upcoming saturday the Rotterdam postrock kids face a dilemma of Streepian
proportion as they make up their tormented minds choosin’ between two indie
legends. Objects of desire are the great looks of Geoff Farina and his post jazz
steely dannish outfit ‘karate’ visiting the WaterFront and the laid back song
writing talents of Sea and Caker ‘Sam Prekop’ (assisted by Archer Prewitt)
doing the club house. Not too much of a dilemma if you ask me, but I’ve already
seen both. The Karate several times, until I grew tired of ’em. Sam Prekop just
once, but I guess all I could think of then was the promised Tortoise show that
started right after his performance. I heard ‘Who’s your new professor’ three
times now and think it’s quite a nice sketch album, but I completely agree to
my buddy Roel van Tour, as he stated that ‘Who’s Your…’ merely underlines
the genius of the self titled first album (with the excellent drawing on the cover).
If you do not own that record, go out and buy/down that mother. It’s brilliant.
Anyway, asking my friend and music buff Niels Post if he made up his mind
yet on this rock-and-hard-place situation, he kindly supplied me with the
information that Ian Svenonius’ latest pestilence ‘Weird War’ are playing the
Paradiso upstairs. So, if you got enough bread and you’re getting somewhat
tired of meeting those same faces every time you go out, join us on the path
less travelled and get yer butt in that train to see mr. Nation of Ulysses and
mrs. Make Up do the thing that made them famous, namely being seriously
fucking cool.

Apart from rocking the girls and blasting in the underworld, there’s still plenty
of good stuff to do outside the HuMobisten headquarters. With the LLIK posse
(Rene van Lien, Marcel Wiebenga and myself) we found more musical ways to
turn expectations upside down and getting the youth crew wired. An overview
of all this good stuff has recently been upgraded and updated by Der Versucher
on the new and improved LLIK website. Extras include a sign up spot for the LLIK
mailing list (golly) and Radio Free LLIK, both downable and streamable DJ mix
‘tapes’. I heard Hitmeister D’s edit is done soon, until that time Der Versuchers’
very own ‘hits to please and tease’ is online as we speak. HOT HOT HOT!!!
