Il tenutario del qui presente blog sente l'irrefrenabile desiderio di addormentarsi e svegliarsi martedì mattina in una soleggiata spiaggia artificiale con vista sul Mar Mediterraneo, tra pesci architettonici e ladri di fotocamere, tra olandesi dall'irresistibile accento nordico e mercati di frutta in pieno centro.

Kraak And Smaak - Plastic People
Je moet in een goed geïsoleerde bunker gezeten hebben als je de afgelopen weken niets hebt meegekregen van het media-offensief rondom Kraak & Smaak .

Am I jaded already? Downloading and listening to the electronic section from SXSW, I can't help thinking the entire samples feels like the 80's. A solid mix of Bloc Party and Debbie Gibson , as if the selection panel is overdozing on New Order , mild house techno and synth overflow. Did we just come out of Disco era or something? I thought we are 30 years pass that. What's up with that? nyah. The entire selection is in radio friendly 3 minutes long, but by blog standard it is [...]
