A Top Notch Extravaganza SuperRauw Night

Last night was fun but tiresome but most good things are... well except hearing ladies exchanging labour pain stories.
That probably isn't a good thing that would be labelled as 'fun' but you get the jist right.













It was a nice way of saying goodbye to 2010 especially because it was in my old town Amsterdam and it was my first night ever out with my little brother by my side.
Here's to more fun filled nights and mornings in the '11.

I've got the golden tickets to end 2010 with LOUD music

But that's tomorrow.

Today i won these beauty's.

Won in a metaphorical way because i did exchanged money to get them.

Kindness

"Be kind,
for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

Last day of partying

I'm feeling pretty sure about myself.
Wrote in to win a night filled of partying let's see if i'll win.

Failure/Fear

failure makes you do better
fear keeps you a failure."

True story

or during Christmas time i make eggnog that makes me feel awesome



only not this time because the tasting sip caused my throat to give up and surrender to the fever i was suppressing for over a month.

Either way, I still managed to be awesome when i wasn't feeling awesome.

Bag lady you gone hurt your back
Dragging all them bags like that

Is you, is you, is you

The price is a bit high for me with all the other things i want so it would take some time saving, but what a beauty of a bag.

The delight of once again being home

The Knife In Collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock - Colouring of Pigeons




Northern forms existed in their own homes
Thousand yellow cocoons
Under over through
A few southern vegetable forms
On the mountains of Borneo
Under over through
Donkey peacock goose
In the mouth of the river
A strange scene it is
Everything in flames
The sky with lightning
And the water, luminous
A strange scene it is
Under over through



Six weeks old
Henrietta smiled for the first time
Tail habits proof
Instinct that moves
Emma saw him smile
Not only with lips
But eyes
Erasmus grab a spoon
Europe hides wool
Mr. Peacock and Captain Beaufort
Endemic alpine grooves
Bread-fruit cinnamon tunes
Tonight it's blowing
Thick bodies of spray whirled across the bay
Whatever might have been
The cause of the retreat



Columbia livia
Great ages through
Course of days
Tumblers, Jacobins
Beak shapes, skeletal traits
Runts and Carriers
Wooden hexagonal cage
Pouters and Fantails
Tail feathers at what age?
(The delight of once again being home)
Grey and white spotted
(The delight of once again being home)
Markings in making
(The delight of once again being home)
My great amusement
Behind Land house a gentle cooing
Behind Land house the offspring's moving
Behind Land house a gentle cooing



The delight of once again being home
The delight of once again being home
The delight of once again being home
The delight of once again being home
The delight of once again being home
The delight of once again being home

Obsessed

I'm in love and i want them to love me back




It won't be easy but I am going to be loved back

SOULWAXMAS AFTERMOVIE STRP 2010

Mark Loonen


I loved it.

Eindhoven: two nights, one day & an early morning

Friday and saturday is was working as volunteer at STRP festival in Eindhoven and it was a long but i have to say great weekend.
I was on the back up team but because of a fire at Utrecht central a lot of the trains were out of the running.
This caused that some volunteers were stuck at the train station and just couldn't come what meant more work for me!


After the first friday festival night I missed my train so i spend the night at Eindhoven train station waiting for everything to open so i could sit somewhere warm and maybe snooze a bit. Going home to Rotterdam just sounded like a waste of time and money, especially when i could discover a new town.

I decided to go and watch Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows just to be out of the cold and even though i still have to see the part that comes before the Deadly Hallows it was a understandable adventurous film.


After that i still had a lot of time left and i went to the library.
I brought my psychology book along with me so that if i got bored i could at least do something useful.
The library is very modern, open and relaxed place to read, i have to admit i fell asleep for a while, but it was such a relaxed place to just sit and chill.
They even had a little café in the library.


fast forward a few hours later
Before my shift started i got to see Die Antwoord and with all the hype they caused at Lowlands 2010 and their own concert at Trouw Amsterdam a few days after the Lowlands festival, i thought the performance was a bit disappointed.
Yeah they were loud and made enough contact with the crowd, but they just didn't do it for me.

Ah well my shift started at 23.00 til 6.30 behind the bar.
It was a long sticky shift but a fun shift and i've learned that i really should practice on tapping a perfect or anything close to perfect beer.

After London Calling II 2010

London calling was good fun.







I started my night with Summer Camp, a band i thought i didn't knew but when they played their last song i remembered i did know the song



I enjoyed seeing Warpaint for the second time.
They played more from a setlist this time instead of ending some songs in long hypnotic jam sessions, which was nice to hear.







Tame Impala also were pretty good to see live.
I managed to get their setlist afterwards so i know what they did and didn't play.
They were less energetic then i thought they would be, but i can't deny that they pleased the crowed.










Wavves closed the main stage and it was fast and a bit loud, just the way i like my midnight concerts!
I mostly enjoyed watching all the people stagedive, boy some people really fell on a wrong place.






Factory Floor -Taxidermist


Factory Floor ended this years London Calling festival in the small room and they really were loud.
I never wear earplugs bit at that moment i wish i did.
It was already around 3 am so i enjoyed a about two songs (they really are good live) but due to tiredness i called it a night.






May 2011 again!
