If you have ten minutes to spare...I'd like to see you do it better...

This is it, what!

Turns out this song was released in 1997. Damn, thought it was brand new. Maybe because Boris nicked it for 'Within my Hands', also a good song. Sapsite, whatever the hell that is, calls it Busta Rhymes meets Tribe Called Quest meets Digable Planets. Well that's two greats. I think it's fine, and it's brand new to me: Camp Lo; 'Luchini'. Enjoy.

The book is out

Multitalent Peter wasn't happy with me. The painter/poet/rebel with/without a cause/economist was right, offcourse. I should have done more and done it faster for our book to get published. Could have probably been a bit more critical of the last chapter and maybe'd been more influentual in setting the course for the NMa's Economic Bureau. Or is that overstating my influence? Oh well, Peter and I did add a title to our ever growing resume. In Dutch there is a saying about a mouse and an elephant...


Read Peter.

Almost home

This is it. My new house! Bought last week. Near the Biltstraat in Utrecht. Yesterday the architectural inspector's report came in. A few investments will be necessary in the coming years, although the building is in good condition given it's age (106 years). Let's see if I can negiotiate an even better deal this week and if they can revive the currently sleeping owners assiociation. The mortage deal looks just right but it goes without saying I'm more preoccupied with perfecting and filling this palace with new furniture and much needed extra's. Can't wait to plug in some new speakers and finally listen to my music in a real airfilled room. Privately owned.
