Jack Parow

I saw Jack Parow 2 months ago, and the guy absolutely rules !
My tribute to the "lekkerste" of all South Afrika. (And damn, Parow is with one R).

Guru's gone

On monday, Guru passed away. His album Jazzmattaz volume 1 is more or less the soundtrack to my early twenties. I thank him for that.

Gabriel Rios Jef Neve Kobe Proesmans

I witnessed an amazing performance yesterday. If you get the chance to see these guys, don't hesitate for a second.

MF Doom: The mask

I read an interesting article on underground hip-hop, and that's how I discovered MF Doom. I'm not sure yet what to think of it, but the videos are absolutely FA-BU-LOUS.

Filip Jordens does Brel

A few weeks ago I went to see Filip Jordens with my wife. I saw him a couple of years ago and was amazed by the perfection of his Brel repertoire. I feared a bit that a second show would be overkill, but he made some major changes - a lot of songs less known but still amazing work - to keep it fresh. He is Brel, no phoney or melancholic stuff. If you have the chance don't miss it. It makes you wish you were born some decades earlier. (I also went to see the Piaf musical 3 weeks later, with Liesbeth List in the main role. I'll spare you the details, but she did miss her lines 6 (!) times. I should have known: a Dutch production on a french singer - sounds like trouble).

Members Of Marvelas

A good friend of mine plays the bass in the superb funk#?@! group Members of Marvelas. Check them out this summer at different festivals this summer. Or have a peak at their funny performance videos on youtube.
