So yesterday I went and saw the new Batman-flick 'The Dark Knight' with my good friends Lennert and Pieter Van Damme. It's one of the best movies I ever saw, ok I'm prejudiced because I love the Batman but still it's just great. I'm not going to spoil anything I'm just going to say that the villains are excellent. The Joker played by the late Heath Ledger is a pure cineastic wonder. All the other characters which I will not mention are just as marvellous. So I have to say YOU HAVE TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!!! And listen to this: Like A Dog Chasing Cars - Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard(zSHARE)
Oh and it inspired me to create my own alter ego, it's a supervillain because I and everybody else with me can't see a spat of superhero in me! I hope to show you the designs soon...
The Automatic is this Welsh band, who became famous with their song 'Monster'(gotta love the Lego version), and they use the two different voices of their singers which gives something really cool. And today I got their newsletter telling me they have a new album and everyone can get a free tasting. The new album is called 'This Is A Fix' and the song carries the same name. The Automatic - This Is A Fix
I played some tennis this morning, it was something I really wanted to do for a long time. I used to play tennis when I was like 12 and that's a long time ago so I now wanted to play it again. Pieter was my opponent for the day, he hits the ball very hard, but his aiming isn't perfect. But hey, I destroyed him even though my technique was a bit fucked up by time. My service was weak and my placing could have been a lot better. But it was a fine match, certainly because we played in the blistering sun of high noon. And because I wanted to give you a song, but did not know which I just put 'Game' into my Itunes Searcher and this one seemed cool: Hadouken! - Game Over(zSHARE)
There's some other things to tell but I'm really tired and just want to sleep now... P.S. Walking on the ceiling is so cool, you should all try it!
Het Rotterdams beton vormt de voedingsbodem waaruit The Madd zo'n drie jaar geleden verrees. Was het uit hilariteit geboren geesteskind van zanger/gitarist Dave von Raven aanvankelijk van tijdelijke aard, een goede ontvangst in de lokale popscene van een stad met een wereldhaven, zorgt ervoor dat in 2006 de debuut-ep van het viertal officieel het licht ziet.
Really cool artist from the renowned Ed Banger Label, revelation of the year. Songs of Mickey Moonlight will soon be available on Panoremix. For now still enjoy it here:
After a long time of silence the best band in the world has made some noise again! First off is the trailer promoting the BBC's coverage of the Beijing Olympics, based on the Chinese folk tale Monkey King twisting the tale of the classical Chinese novel "Journey to the West", turning it into a "Journey to the East". Gorillaz have taken their short films and turned them into something for the masses on the BBC. The drawings of Jamie Hewlett, usual Gorrilaz artist, make this film again something unique.
And the documentary about them called 'Bananaz' will also be released soon!
To top it all I really want to buy their autobiography called 'Rise Of The Ogre', but it's like 40 euros!
And of course I'm gonna give you all a song, from Gorillaz of course! It's a mash-up, they're mashed with Digitalism. instru : Digitalism - Zdarlight acapella : Gorillaz - Feel Good inc. Feat. De La Soul Romain Carrol - Zdarlight Of Gorillaz (zSHARE)
Zo vandaag ben ik naar Gent gegaan, om toch nog wat te genieten van mijn vrij weekend. Ik werd uitgenodigd voor de Gentse Feesten, maar uiteindelijk daagde er niemand anders op, dus zaten Ann-Sofie en Silja zo een beetje met me opgescheept terwijl ze eigenlijk anders al naar huis wilden. Maar goed, ze hebben de irritatie even opzij gezet en toch nog even rondgelopen met me, het was eigenlijk nog best leuk, de feesten zelf stellen niet zoveel voor toch niet wat ik ervan heb gezien, maar het was wel gezellig. Ohja en de trams waren voor de gelegenheid voorzien met een Gentssprekende plaatsaanduider, best enervant eigenlijk. En het weer viel natuurlijk goed mee, het was zelfs een beetje te warm. Maar we mogen niet klagen, he!
Morgen mag ik dat natuurlijk wel want dan moet ik weer gaan werken! Ik haat het nu eigenlijk al...
Cool action figure you can get at the comic con, nerd's mekka, of The Dude from the movie 'The Big Lebowski', one of the greatest, funniest movies ever made! Shame on you if you have not seen it!
J'ai été a Bruxelles aujourd'hui avec Béthina, la cousine de mon petit neveux, c'est un wallone alors Bruxelles c'est fantastique quoi, y a même de l'éléctricité! Non, je blagues car je l'ai enmerdé toute la journée comme ça pendant que moi je faisais mes courses. Une bonne habitude on perd pas! Et aussi un samedi libre ça se gaspille pas! Alors j'ai acheté deux nouveaux vinyls Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart (j'adore!!!) et De La Soul's Me, Myself And I.
Morgen ga ik naar de Gentse Feesten en maandag is het weer werken, joepie!
17 dagen na het lanceren ervan, kunt u hier al eens luisteren naar de nieuwe single van Bloc Party, "Mercury", u hebt hem vast wel al gehoord op StuBru... En binnenkort ook te downloaden hier.
Mes petits neveux sont là, alors pendant ce temps il y aura pas de nouveaux, rien à lire. Plus avec le travaille, c'est completement décallé! Alors, à la prochaine...
The world will look up and shout: "Save us!" and I will whisper: "No".
Btw: very cool song in the trailer called "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" by the Smashing Pumpkins, but it was actually made for the Batman & Robin movie, so they kinda recycled it which is not a good thing. Furthermore you may have noticed a lot of trailers on my blog, but there are suddenly a lot of cool movies and they keep on coming, where last year and start of this year I was depressed by the high level of crap coming, I am now somewhat optimistic. Just two more days before the Dark Knight launches and from then one you've got a parade of movies, certainly if you love the eighties like I do! I can already tell you about some of them like Halo, Zelda, Max Payne, Jeepers Creepers 3, Jurassic Park 4, Sin City 2 & 3, The Hobbit, Justice League, G.I. Joe, X Files, Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Yes Man, Tropic Thunder, Quantum Of Solace, I,Lucifer, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Burn After Reading, Inglorious Bastards, Machete and many more, but actually almost every one of them sounds crap!
The Justice song was made for a special occasion, it was for a compilation called Musclorvision: Hits Up To You! The concept? The bands had to pretend they were taking part in the Eurovision song contest. (Thanx to Waves At Night.) P.S. Oh, and I decided I want a Polaroid camera, because I read they stop making those babies. The digital age got them! So I've looked them up on E-bay, here are some links: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Someone buy this for me, please!
There's been talk about a second Simpsons Movie! There were already signs in the movie itself, with Maggie's first word being "Sequel", and in the serie, the seasons opening theme of the first episode after the movie saw Bart writing "I will not wait another twenty years before making a movie" on the chalk board. Matt Groening confirmed there would be a sequel, but had no idea when mostly because his colleagues are lazy, he said. Further more Al Jean, executive producer and show runner on "The Simpsons", said it would not come soon and had this to say: "We would only do a sequel if we believed it was a movie that had to be made, just like we did with the first one. We wouldn't want to do it just because the first one was successful, or because we wanted to make money off of a movie. We'd only do it if we had a script that we thought was great [and] there's no script at this point." Hey, we don't care, we're just happy there will be one, we will wait!
Vanaf morgen moet ik gaan werken in de Media Markt, ik zocht de hele maand al werk en net nu ik dacht eraan te ontsnappen, moet ik toch gaan werken. En het ergst van al is dat het nog mijn fout is ook, ik had minder mijn best moeten doen om te zoeken! Maar goed, zo verdienen we weer wat eurietjes en ik heb het de voorbije twee jaar toch ook gedaan. Ik hoop enkel dat dit mijn herexamens niet onnodig nog meer bemoeilijkt. En natuurlijk om dit te vieren, krijgen jullie niet één maar twee liedjes die natuurlijk iets met werk te maken hebben. De coole mash-up van 2 many dj's en de visie van The Ordinary Boys op werk die erg met de mijne overeenkomt! 9 to 5 / Eple - 2 Many Dj's Nine2Five ft. Lady Sovereign - The Ordinary Boys
P.s. Ik rij rond in de camion, dus holla at ya boy!
So my older brother came over some time ago, and because he has a family and a job he doesn't really have time to spend on his love for music, this love is something everyone in my family has. And so my brother Thierry isn't up to date with the music scene, and for this reason I made him a file with 37 songs of the last few months, you've got MGMT, The Brighton Port Authority, Wombats, Ween, N.E.R.D., Ting Tings, Len In., Mark Ronson and many other but to say more would spoil the surprise. And because I'm so nice you can enjoy it too, and download it here: Song Surprise
You all know the band Justice, and you all know they always look cool. And now you can look as cool as them. They've already sold the t-shirts from their video D.A.N.C.E., but those were designed by So Me. Afterwards they took a shot at it for H&M, for their action "fashion against aids".Now they've designed denim and leather clothes for Surface 2 Air, check it out!
Ok, I already gave you guys enough great videos, but I'm so generous that I'm going to give you some more, cheer! The first two are videos from They Might Be Giants, that are old but still cool.
And then two clips from Linus Loves, the second is a remix of JT's cool song "My Love".
And how can I make messages without mentioning Kanye West, here you have his video for Homecoming with Chris Martin, singer of Coldplay who's new cd "Viva La Vida" you should really check out.
And to finish of, I have a video from an artist on Kanye's label GOOD(Getting Out Our Dreams) music, I didn't even know he had his own label, I'm a horrible fan! His name is Fonzworth Bentley and he used to be the personal assistent of Diddy and he went to school with André 3000. In the video he forms a band with André, Sa-ra and Jeezy called "Cool Outrageous Lovers of Uniquely Raw Style" or C.O.L.O.U.R.S., also the name of his upcoming album.
Ons land maakt alweer een regeringscrisis mee, België kan nogmaals het middelpunt van de spot zijn van heel Europa. Het kleine landje dat maar niet te regeren valt. Dit is al de derde maal dat Premier Yves "Ik weet niet wat er op 21 juli is gebeurd" Leterme zijn ontslag aanbiedt. En dat terwijl de stemmen van De Wever, De Decker, De Winter en de andere De's om een onafhankelijk Vlaanderen schreeuwen. De 2 laatsten onder hen zijn ook al tevreden met herverkiezingen intussentijds. Het volk denkt wat kan het mij ook schelen? Sommigen hebben natuurlijk wel een voorkeur, ik ben bijvoorbeeld al tevreden mochten ze de koning buiten smijten. Maar we zullen wel zien hoe het nu verder gaat, barst Belgïe of niet? Geniet intussen toch nog maar even van ons landje, eet een pakje friet met een goed pilsje, wat chicon gratin met als dessert een beetje chocolade op een wafel. En luister naar Belgïe van Het Goede Doel.(zSHARE)
So I told about the fact that saturday I went to the Media Markt and Fnac to buy some CD's AND I told that Pieter forgot his backpack (?), so we had to return yesterday to get it. Luckily it was still in the locker and our CD's were still kept aside. So after we had tried to put some aside because we had way too much cds, we still decided to buy the most of them.

And the last cd is from SMDB team, a Tecktonic squad of which you already saw a clip on this blog! Spoke, Jachk Herror and Maestro say "We don't dance, we are dance!" and I believe them this cd + dvd proves their great dancing skills and musical talent! Track listing:
And the second CD/DVD is filled with Dance-how-to's, clips and freestyles.
To finish of I bought some really low price cd's, the most expensive was 2 euro and the cheapest 1o cent. Two compilations, one with old electro music and one with eighties music, and then also a single of Yevgueni. I also bought a record of Maxïmo Park, with their song 'Girls who play guitars'.
I went and saw this movie saturday called "Shutter", it pretty much sucked, although Joshua Jackson is a bit cool, but it was supposed to be a scary movie, but it failed that purpose. But I'm a pantsy so it was still able to scare me. That's about all I can say about it, I wouldn't recommend this movie...
Voici le nouveau clip tecktonik du moment, il s'agit de la musique "We don't dance, We are the dance" signée SMDB. Le son est bien électro et les danseurs bien tecktoniks. A aimer ou à détester..!
I went to Brussels with my good friend Pieter Defraene today, he had to buy a new cellphone and I decided to accompany him and to give my brilliant advice of course! After like looking for fifteen minutes, we saw they were all crap or too expensive, so our eyes slided to the cd section of the Media Markt and soon enough Pieter's arms were filled with CD's and mine were almost empty. But we decided then to go to the Fnac nearby, to compare prices, and we left the cd's to go get them later.In the Fnac I found what I was looking for, there's was a box filled with low price cd's I always told myself I would buy, but never did. So I left with four new compact discs and Pieter one. But the store closed so we really had to hurry to get back to the other store, but we were too late. And to worsen everyrhing Pieter had left his backpack in one of the store's lockers, and it was kind of my fault. So we'll go back monday and with that we've got another chance to buy some cool cd's. But now I'm going to tell you which ones I bought. First one is Stage Invader of Linus Loves, cool electro artists. I always loved 'Night Music' of them, but I never found something else. Here's a review. Track Listing:
I've got than another cd of one of those breastfed guys Mylo, marvellous artist and I love the cover, I already feel I'm gonna try to make it my own in one way or another.
And to finish of, I bought Kanye's first two cd's I'll give you the covers, but no free songs or tracklistings 'cuz I say enough about him in almost every blogmessage. The College Dropout and Late Registration.
Ik heb deze week precies iets met dialect want het stoort me niet zoveel als normaal. Dus krijg je hier nog een leuk liedje in het Oostends van Preuteleute. Mijn neef Tim toonde me het hiernet en ik vond het best geinig. Ook het amateurclipje erbij is best cool, aangezien het meisje precies totaal niet doorheeft dat ze een video maken over een dik persoon en dus met veel plezier meedoet.
Your X-wing cabin can't take your beerbelly anymore? Your Stormtrooper uniform doesn't fit? Eaten too many Naboo Nuggets or Wookie Cookies? Can't lift your lightsaber anymore? The other Jedi's make fun of you? Have no fear, the Jedi Gym is here!
Net mijn eerste rijles gehad te hebben (gelukkig gaat praktijk veel beter dan theorie) en dat de dag na ik van Rock Werchter terugkwam! Na het festivalgeurtje te hebben afgewassen, wil je de ruis in je oren toch weer stillen met wat muziek en dus heb ik vandaag wat clips bekeken en die krijgen jullie nu voorgeschoteld in afwachting van mijn recensie van Werchter (mocht die er komen) en van de filmpjes (mochten die er komen).
Eerste clip is één van eigen bodem en die bodem ligt wel zeer nabij, namelijk waar ik zo ongeveer woon. De jongens van "De Fanfaar" zingen in de 'schuune toal' van Brussel, een beetje Frans in hun Nederlands het verwarmt mijn hart. Ze wonnen de Jospoprally en Nederpopprijs 2008, en staan al 3 weken Nr1 op JIM Tv's "Puur Belgisch", ook spelen ze binnenkort op FestivHalle. De muziek is niet super, maar hun enthousiasme en taaltje maakt dit goed.
Dan heb je Kenna, een schoolkameraad van Pharrell en dat merk je meteen. Hij zong op Werchter nog de hele marquee de hemel in met 'Just', een cover van Radiohead, tijdens de set van Mark Ronson. Hier is zijn eerste video, Say Goodbye To Love.
Over de volgende groep weet ik niet zo veel, maar daar zal gauw verandering in komen. Al wat ik gehoord heb van The Blood Arm beviel me al, maar dit lied die ze maakten met Franse zangeres Anaïs is fantastisch en ook de clip is zeer cool. Do I Have Your Attention?
En nu we toch al wat Frans hebben, gaan we daar ook mee verder. Maar toch iets marginaler, in Frankrijk kwam het tot een clash tussen twee artiesten, de ene zijnde een rapster die net haar eerste hit te pakken had en de catalysator tot problemen was een puber die er een amateuristisch parodietje op maakte. Koxie maakt detige madammenrap, toen ze in haar lied "Garçon" haar ongenoegen uitte over het mannenras, vond TDY94 toch dat ze een antwoord verdiende, goed gedacht vind ik zo. Maar blijkbaar vond Madam Chichi dit niet en "disste" ze hem op nationale televisie, waarop de jongemans nicht haar een nogal expliciete mail stuurde en zo begon er ruzie, die wijd werd uitgesmeerd in de tabloids, maar naar het schijnt is de storm nu gaan liggen, is alles opgelost, heeft Koxie alweer een nieuwe single en is Teddy bezig met nieuwe parodieën. Maar hier kun je nog even zien wat voor deze oorlog zorgde.
The next couple of days I'll be at Rock Werchter, a Belgian musicfestival. This is the third time I'm going and even with the huge costs, it's still worth it. Just four days chillin' with your mates and listening to some great bands perform. This year I'll see Jay-Z, MGMT, Gnarls Barkley, Beck, Hot Chip and many more. A full report will follow, greets!
After failing miserably more than once in something that even a braindead monkey should be able to do in one attempt, apparently I'm pretty retarded, I finally got it today, my theoretical driver's license, so prepare to have a real danger on the roads soon, real life G.T.A. and shit. And here is the ultimate driving tune: Testarossa (SebastiAn Remix) - Kavinsky
Hope, I'll be this good...
Oh yeah, and I got my hair cut and I'm going to have to redo al my exams in August, 'cause I fucked them all up!
De tweede serie van 'Skins' is van start gegaan op JimTV. Persoonlijk vind ik deze serie zeer leuk en ik ben dan ook zeer blij dat Jim gekozen heeft ook het tweede seizoen uit te zenden. Voor degene die de serie niet kennen, het gaat over Tony en zijn vrienden, een stel adolescenten die veel feesten en dat feesten gaat gepaard met veel drank en een "gezonde" dosis drugs, natuurlijk houdt het daar niet bij op en hebben ze ook wat avontuurtjes, deze hebben vooral betrekking tot hun liefdesleven. Ik zou zo zeggen neem eens een kijkje want naast het verhaal is ook de soundtrack de moeite waard!
So yesterday I went and saw the new Batman-flick 'The Dark Knight' with my good friends Lennert and Pieter Van Damme. It's one of the best movies I ever saw, ok I'm prejudiced because I love the Batman but still it's just great. I'm not going to spoil anything I'm just going to say that the villains are excellent. The Joker played by the late Heath Ledger is a pure cineastic wonder. All the other characters which I will not mention are just as marvellous. So I have to say YOU HAVE TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!!!
