Mijn eerste single

Dit schreef ik naar aanleiding van onze jaarlijkse België top zoveel. Een door vrienden samengestelde muzieklijst op basis van ieders inbreng en als echte radioshow aan elkaar gepraat op heuse CD’s die we draaien op weg naar ons jaarlijkse weekendje België. De “opdracht” was dit jaar vertel iets over toen je 15 was – aangezien […]

Urk #GR2018

In 2014 was hier een analyse van de verkiezingsuitslag van de gemeenteraadsverkiezing van Urk lezen, en dit is de analyse van 2018.

My music discoveries of 2016

Last years’ post was pretty popular, so let’s continue this. You know the rules, so let’s go! I’ve always had a soft spot for Conor Oberst’s (aka Bright Eyes) fragility. After a rough period he dropped a new album, with pearls like this next one. Only 3,594 views so far, we should all be ashamed. […]
