This is our very first input on MAP, the Music Alliance Pact, a blogosphere project by The Pop Cop which invites 22 different publishers from different countries to showcase a monthly recommendation to share to the world. I found the idea to be splendid and the collective contribution by our now fellow bloggers is exciting to say the least. Club Fonograma is representing Mexico, which I know it's odd considering I don't live in Mexico (but I was born there) and the blog is in English, but let's face it, the big majority of the content comes from [...]
Music Alliance Pact are din luna februarie inca un blog, reprezentand Mexicul. Multa muzica buna vine din acea zona, dar presupun ca vor promova rock en espanol mai mult decat, sa zicem, Lucha Reyes . Cu alte cuvinte MAP a ajuns la 22 de tari si creste. Asa cum v-am obisnuit, fiecare blog din fiecare tara a propus cate o melodie deci avem 22 de artisti din tari diferite,piese destul de noi.Din Romania, in aceasta luna ii avem pe The Amsterdams care se pregatesc de un album nou, dupa EP-ul de anul trecut. Ma pot astepta [...]
Es 15 de Febrero y toca otra entrega de MAP (Music Alliance Pact), tengo que el capitulo del mes pasado ha sido uno de los que más me ha gustado, he conocido muchas buenas bandas que ya comentare despues, para Febrero la misión de elegir a nuestro candidato no ha sido difícil, de hecho me parece que "Covida" se ha convertido en la mejor canción rock pop que haya salido de estos lugares, gracias a Catervas por la canción y definitivamente tienes que escucharla, todo un clasico para nunca sacarla de tu reproductor mp3. Para descargar las 22 [...]

More reasons to drink more beer, Drink up!
Got an email through last night from the people over at Fabchannel letting me know that tomorrow (Wednesday 11 Feb) they will be streaming a live performance by Buzzcocks for free. I thought this warranted further investigation, so went and had a look at their site. It houses an archive of performances from various bands, ranging from big international names (The B-52s, Calexico) to smaller Dutch acts - all in really good quality, and best of all completely free! The shows are all in Amsterdam and I spent a few idle hours yesterday trawling [...]
Antony and the Johnsons zijn geniaal. Een eerdere post van Koen waarin je al een paar nummers van hun laatste cd hebt kunnen horen, bevestigt dat alleen maar. In het kader van het Holland Festival , zullen Antony and the Johnsons op 22 juni samen met het Metropool Orekest een uniek optreden verzorgen in Carré. De organisatoren hebben hun uiterste best moeten doen om Antony and the Johnsons naar Amsterdam te krijgen, want ook Eindhoven heeft er hard aan getrokken. Eindhoven de gekste? Ik dacht het niet! Eindhoven, [...]
Onze Trouw bezorger Juha van 't Zelfde van Non-Fiction heeft weer wat beeldmateriaal online gezet. Kijk mee hoe er gewerkt wordt aan de nieuwe club Trouw, opvolger van club 11. De complete serie vind je hier . Wat opvalt is dat er een vrij groot podium de zaal in komt (en dat er geen bouwvakkersradio met muziek van Âme te horen is). Maquette van de Verdieping: Eerder berichtten we hier al over de eerste geboekte namen en de eerste foto's die opdoken.
Here's a skronk and synth soaked banger for your Monday blues, straight from the mind of Don Diablo , one of Amsterdam's newest hot tickets. It's a fidgety, funked out (just check the jacked-out vocal coda) and super super rad. There's actually a a two-ton bag of influences and sounds packed into the track's six minutes, so be our guest in trying to lock down exactly what you'd want to call this track. Diablo's first proper full-length release, Life Is A Festival , will be out soon. (mp3) Don Diablo - Black Heat [...]

I meant to pop this up last night, but somehow didn't quite manage it, so here are some things that are tickling our fancy here at TGTF at the moment. We were sent two very special MP3s yesterday from Red Light Company (who we introduced here , and are off on tour shortly ). Their debut album is out shortly, so expect more coverage as that comes out - they're really rather great. Download and enjoy, as ever. MP3 : Red Light Company [...]

De mensen achter 11 zetten hun activiteiten voort in het oude Trouw gebouw in Amsterdam-Oost. Een pand met nog veel industriële accenten waar tot 31 december 2010 gebruik van kan worden gemaakt. Volgens programmeur en mede-eigenaar Olaf Boswijk is dat tijdelijke aspect één van de belangrijkste drijfveren van het team. De eerste namen zijn ook al meteen bekend: Dixon, Flying Lotus, Kode 9, Supermayer, Melon, Juha, Patrice Baumel, Cinnaman en Nuno Dos Santos. ( via 3voor12 ) Update: Kristian van Âme schrijft op het Innervisions blog hoe hij in [...]

by cheryl santa maria Amsterdam's Red Light District is packed with tourists and rowdy American college kids. There are bright lights and beautiful hookers but there is no lust, no drug-fueled shenanigans spilling out onto the street. At 3 in the morning the District is as stale as the suburbs. We wander in and out of alleyways determined to find a dirty, seedy coffee shop. We find a hole in the wall. If we'd blinked we would have missed it. [...]

It should be no surprise to anyone that where you find human vices you find organized crime. Recently amsterdam unveiled plans to close many of its brothers,sex shops and marijuana cafes in response to the rise in organized crime plaguing the city.

The City will be using zoning rules to reshape the area, which will include buying out certain business's and offering assistance to upgrade [...]
