In 2010 schreef ik al over het Duitse Deichkind . Aanstekelijke electropop met komische teksten. De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig meets Rammstein. Op YouTube draaide ik de energieke liveshows grijs. Hopend op een bezoek aan ons land. Tevergeefs. Dus er zat maar één ding op: Naar Duitsland! Zodoende reisde ik afgelopen weekend af naar de Westfalenhallen te Dortmund. Ik ging met mijn beste concertvriend. Wij zagen ooit nog de Urban Dance Squad en Beastie Boys op één avond. (Dat is 20 jaar geleden. Damn, ik word oud!) We waren bang dat we uit de toon zouden vallen, wij als Hollanders bij [...]
Urban Dance Squad - Deeper shade of Soul Get down! http://www.uds.nl/
Peanut's Playground is my bi-weekly verbal diarrhea. Every other Wednesday I plan to ramble about stuff I like (in my typically screwed up version of English) and hope you will like too. And in case you don't... mweh . Number 13 in my series of Forgotten Classics: Mental Floss For The Globe by Urban Dance Squad (1989) Hi guys. Sorry that I missed my slot two weeks ago. Life suddenly caught up with me and well, that's just how things go sometimes. But [...]
Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "Girl Can't Help It" by Journey [...]
I hate mixtapes! This might sound like a strange introduction to an article about a mixtape, but I just do. I hate them. They are an absolute pain in the ass to make! Selecting the songs. Tagging the songs. Uploading the songs. It's a lot of work and somehow the end results never seem to be as I imagined it. Some people just have it in them to make good mixtapes. People like Tsuru for instance. Of course he's had a lot of practice, since he's posted approximately 6,234 of them here on TSURURADIO over [...]
I would have loved to be a Program Director at a radio station before corporations were allowed to own two stations in one market. Before playlists were printed out before a radio show even started. And before folks like Howard Stern changed the playing field forever. Every now and then it was so very cool to stretch the boundaries of what a given format was supposed to sound like. In 1993 my local Alternative Rock station added US3's "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" to its playlist from their album Hand On The Torch. It was an unusual choice since it was half Hip Hop and [...]
Barack Obama élu 44° président des USA. Les américains ont élu un président noir. Que dire de plus ? C'est complètement con mais cela me semble incroyable. Je lis de ci de là que cette élection va faire entrer une nouvelle génération, une nouvelle culture, une nouvelle vision du monde à la tête des US ; je m'en réjouis profondément, même si au fond de moi je pense que Barack Obama vient d'hériter d'un sacré merdier... Bonne chance Mr President!! Célébrons cette élection [...]
So anyone my age would probably know the song that the title of this entry is from. It's one fucking badass song! The image of a Charlie Brown shirt on the DJ for Urban Dance Squad with skaters abound in an empty swimming pool is one of the things I remember clearly. So for those of you who may not know it? Check out the video for "Deeper Shade of Soul". With that said - and you all are no doubt recovering from dancing in your seats - I have this week's music [...]
Here is some old stuff to keep things fresh . In the 1990's, where I grew up these were some of the songs that everyone was listening to. If you are alive, and you're from this planet, then you have heard this one before. Yes sir, that's what they call double Platinum. In 1991 Summertime reached was the #1 Rap Single on the billboard Hot 100. 1991 DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - "Summertime" [...]
Pump Up the Volume is a film that I never got around to seeing until I was in college, which is a shame. I think that had I seen it when I was in high school, I would love it even more than I do now. It's usually referred to as a teen movie, but it's not your typical teen movie. It's more serious than most of the teen movies that came out in the late 80s and it deals with issues you rarely see in teen flicks. It's intelligent, angry and the kind of movie that I think [...]
