Nice idea: a Commodore 64 orchestra 
Wednesday, September 20, 2006, 06:15 PM - Music, English


But I expected an orchestra whose instruments are Commodore 64s.
This is a concert where a traditional ensemble plays melodies of Commodore 64 games.

Van achter de kast: Paul Tornado - Van Agt Casanova (1977, NL, Punk/New wave) 
Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 07:49 PM - Music, - NL, Nederlands
Kennen we hem nog, die vreselijke van Agt?
Was voor mij reden om te roepen dat ik ging emigreren. Nooit gedaan natuurlijk.
Dit plaatje was wel aardig, refereerde aan de maatregel om in sexbioscopen maximaal 49 bezoekers toe te laten. Was een goed idee, zo zijn de Peepshows ontstaan.



De b-kant (Ik wil jou zijn, mijn idool) vond ik beter, er liepen toen nogal wat Sid Vicious klonen rond.
Dit is de heruitgebrachte single uit 1981, de b-kant wordt wat vroeger afgebroken.

Dit is al de derde nederlandse band die ik post die blijkbaar niet voorkomt in het bestand van het Nationaal Pop Instituut. De andere twee waren Pat Cool en Instant Composer's Pool. Mensen, ga jullie werk doen!

From behind the cabinet: Those Naughty Lumps - Iggy Pop's Jacket (1978, UK, Punk/New wave) 
Monday, September 18, 2006, 07:04 PM - Music, - UK, English
A fairly unknown Liverpool band. Sounds much like the Members, but who knows them. Short punky songs with fender guitar.
I heard it on the radio. Every Saturday I listened to John Peel's Music on BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) that was aired by a nearby military station in Germany.



I don't know how I got it. Maybe in Amsterdam (No Fun on the Rijnstraat) or Nijmegen or somebody brought it from London. No internet shops at that time.

Dik Voormekaar 
Monday, September 18, 2006, 03:56 PM - Fun, Nederlands
& Heeft de netcoördinator ook jouw leven verpest?
Dik Voormekaar paste niet op 3fm want het had te veel luisteraars.
Maar wie heeft er nog radio nodig?
Voor 10 euro per jaar heb je weer iedere zaterdag Dik Voormekaar!
ClubDVM zet iedere zaterdagochtend 3 oude shows (beginnend vanaf 1973) on-line.
En in verbazingwekkend goede kwaliteit, mijn oude tapes kunnen de deur uit.


André van Duin en Ferry de Groot bij Kopspijkers

En om alvast in de stemming te komen: hier een lp, ooit gekregen van Jozef Skil.
Hij zou ook een andere meebrengen. Ik wacht nog steeds, maar voor deze ben ik al erg dankbaar.



Kant 1:
. Klinkklaar
. Waterstanden
. De Olieman Song
. De vakaturebank
. Verkeersinformatie
. Tony Moore rijdt voor

Kant 2:
. Beursplein 5
. Wachten op middernacht
. Koning Klant
. Naar de kermis
. Watermerk
. De Lotto
. Hobby Kwartier
. De 30 seconden van meneer de Groot

From behind the cabinet: Instant Composers Pool (1972, NL, Weird) 
Sunday, September 17, 2006, 06:13 PM - Music, - NL, English
When rearranging my living room, I discovered some hidden records.
Most of them are odd, I will publish them the next days.

Starting with this 5" flexi of the Instant Composers Pool, a dutch improvisation band. Most of its members are now in the Willem Breuker Collectief.
This record was distributed for free at high schools as promotion for the CJP (Cultural Youth Passport).



A combination of psych, weird, blues and free jazz.
I think it's very rare.
On the other side was a song of Solution, another fine dutch band, taken from their lp Divergence, still available on cd in the shop.

Pat Cool - Day Break (1973, NL, Canterbury) 
Saturday, September 16, 2006, 04:42 PM - Music, - NL, English
Band from the south of the Netherlands (Limburg, Tegelen).
Typical dutch early 70's sound: jazzy, mainly instrumental with lots of Hammond organ and some flute.
Sounds a bit like Solution, Supersister and Focus (without guitar).
Gé Titulaer sings horrible english, even I can hear that.
But the instrumental parts dominate and they are very good.
By the way, Gé is the father of the Dutch Idols winner 2004 Boris Titulaer.



Gé Titulaer: Keyboards, flutes, vocals
Huub Timmermans: Keyboards
Tom van der Schoot: Bass
Peter Tiggelers: Drums

Side 1:
1 When somedays [8:50]
2 What are you about [4:35]
3 For all who really had to cry [9:40]

Side 2:
1 Day break [4:40]
2 I wish [7:55]
3 There has been a change in me [8:45]

(there are three scratches on 'I wish', sorry for that)

Extra:
The sun king found his kingdom here [4:20] (not my rip, found it somewhere on the web)
