I just got a CD through the mail today from Radio Rijnmond with a Valentines Day radio recording. You will hear Jana Beranová and me talking about the Jan Hart book.. Pretty funny!
My old fret Roshan has opened a brand new skateboarding shop yesterday. It’s just two doors away from my other 20 years of friendshipfret shop WOEI. And besides that Frank Hartman (which is also an old skaterkid) started his business bureau mdm. there a little while ago (a bit before WOEI opened his doors). The Hoogstraat has become a street full with grandpa skaters. That’s pretty funny! Skate or Die, dude!
I know Channel (or C-nel / Nellie) since she was five years old.. In the meantime she has become a real teenager. She wants to be an actress on Broadway.
You go girl!
Pretty crappy (therefore cooler) recording of a TV broadcast item about one of the legendary M.T.C. party(s). Funny, Hitmeister D and me went (to this particular one from the YouTube item above) there in a fake fur coat, geeeezzz…
Those parties were awesome!
In less than an hour I’ll be doing my new performance called ‘De Zinger’, a performance about fingers and astrology at Fam. Ruim, Nw. Binnenweg 226A. Be there or an ass. De Zinger’s a finger that happens to be a chanteur who speaks the words of one Bart ‘Sim Sala Bubbelebim’ Hoevenaars.
After reading the cynical article Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization in Adbusters, and the somehow great reaction on this article on this blog, I’ve a lot of thoughts about it, and a lot to say. But I think you can be your own judge after reading those articles (if you want). Those thoughts (about our MySpace, Hyves and Facebook generation) somehow cross my mind a lot this year. Some of my latest work is flirting with that.
But in the end every youth has their older youth. So therefore I’ve two book tips. The book NO WAVE by Thurston Moore and Byron Coley is a collision of art and punk rock in the New York underground of 1976-1980 and RoXY en de houserevolutie by Job de Wit which is a Dutch (which I read in one night) book about the upcoming of House music and her most famous club of that period.
Tomorrow at the VIA gallery in Paris there is an opening - of the 40th anniversary of the first ever Prisunic catalog - exhibition of Prisunic furniture and catalogs.
In the late 1960s in France, Prisunic was an ultra-modern furniture and plastic pop-art home objects store.
