The noise in our kitchen is all-encompassing. Upon hearing it, my mind is once again in freeze mode. The kitchen knife in my hand; potato unfinished. It’s like I have paused our little discussion and I see the frequency of your vocal cords reflected in the kitchen wall, which has started to colour deeply yellow … Continue reading Vocal Cords & Verbal Abuse: Stephen – Play Me Like A Violin

Monday: Get into your Work and Clothes
Inspired by music video: Chinese Man feat. lots of other folks - Get up. Alarmclock. For, like, the fifth time. Cause snoozing is an actual lifestyle. You look at the clock: 7 AM. Aaaaaargh. Mondays. Oh, the pain! You want to get out of bed, you really do, cause working is relatively cool, but ... … Continue reading Monday: Get into your Work and Clothes
Live – Trixie Whitley & Daniel Lanois, “I’d Rather Go Blind” @Brussels, 2009
I'd rather go blind than be, be this misunderstood. I can sit there on my chair, trying my utmost best to explain myself. How the world relates to me, to all of us, to every little gem around of me. But I can only closely observe it, can't I? There is really not much I … Continue reading Live – Trixie Whitley & Daniel Lanois, “I’d Rather Go Blind” @Brussels, 2009
A State of Mind: Zornik – Scared of Yourself
Think about the lies that we told to each other. All those lies, all those sentences that we tell each other, day in day out. All that stuff of which we never knew it went out of our minds, and into someone else’s. And it remains there. Strange but true. And it’s only seven years … Continue reading A State of Mind: Zornik – Scared of Yourself
The Wires of Your Brain: Blockhead – The Music Scene
The music scene has got me down, cause I don't want to be a clown. Ah yes, modern alternative music struggles: how to fit in, without having to behave clownish? One trick: use one great line of seemingly little substance and repeat it over and over again on a beat that somehow just sticks. Add … Continue reading The Wires of Your Brain: Blockhead – The Music Scene

Tomorrow I was nothing. But today is different. Yesterday I'll be. But today is different. You know that moment you're about to switch off your thinking gear? Ah, the Brain.

Tell me if it's me holding on and on to love what else is … Continue reading Brain and Heart Meet in Identity Crisis: K’s Choice – Believe

Childhood Deal: Tool – Prison Sex
The truth in metal music. Perhaps that is why it always takes an effort to understand them metal cries. It took so long to remember just what happened. Ah yes, when you finally found the memory stick to your inner hard drive. You simply can't trust those things. It's like a wasp in a jar … Continue reading Childhood Deal: Tool – Prison Sex
Normality: K’s Choice – Everything for Free
Of course I gotta review the best video ever made. Why the best? Well, for starters, the song kicks ass. Say what you want, but good songs just sound good. To anyone. Specifically if you like contrasts. The sort of musical mood swings some might call manic depression, put on record. Lyrics? Pretty vague, … Continue reading Normality: K’s Choice – Everything for Free
