Let�s make it an early one, I said to myself. But then I started strechin� the day and nightshops do have a cause, you know. A cause I tend to support nowadays, so don�t blame me. Here�s a stream of random thoughts: Fridaynight, Paperclip People banging through my veins, lovin� it so much. You know [...]

“I have no girlfriend? Check this, how many girls want to fuck me right now?” In stand-up comedy the smart-asses in the audience are called hecklers. True killer comedians know how to handle them properly. I had never heard of Joe Rogan before I saw this video, and I�ll be damned if he doesn�t just [...]

Recently some people asked me about interview techniques. Really though, all I can say is, there are none. The tips I could give were worthless pieces of shit, like ‘try to be as precise as possible, avoid vagueness’. You know. But anyway, here’s how it shouldn’t be done: Tom Lenaerts interviews Michelle Pfeiffer (actually a [...]

Recently On-Point.be was blessed with this extra feature called “The Mailing List”. You’ll find it on your right hand side. Once a day, normally between 9 and 10 in the morning, this list sends out the latest, for you and yours. This is of no use for the RSS readers, and the regular surfers, but [...]

My favorite backing vocalists: Stef Caers & Nina Babet, Live at Jazzbreak last month. Earlier footage was posted right here. Really though, watch them go! Doing it real big with Moiano.  

The last two months two Spike Lee news flashes came in over here at the HeadQuarters. After some more or less conventional movies it seems like Spike is getting back to his own style, black consciousness etcetera etcetera, check imdb.com for more insight. Word is Spike is working on or planning to work on two [...]

Just the other day I was wondering. Lloyd, I said to myself, I said: �lloyd, what�s it all about anyway, the on-pointness, being on-point and all?� And I came up with this definition of letting loose the old bandwagons and getting down with the alternative, checking out the leftfield, being on the lookout for the [...]

Having seen the local expo scene boom like crazy and having met some wonderful artists I kind of stepped back. Then I figured: “who’s blog is this anyway?” So there you have it. It’s a rainy hat, inspired by rain nor hats. Thankyouverymuch. Happy Tuesday to all!

Check out Y�skids James Brown tribute, right here in his myspace player. Jeezeken is geboren en daar heb ik niets aan toe te voegen. (Desalniettemin een Zalige kerst toegewenst!) James Brown is op 73-jarige leeftijd overleden aan een longontsteking. En dat is spijtig. Maar om nu te zeggen dat ik een blog over James kan [...]

Pech voor de fijnproevende rokers onder de lezers want vanaf volgende week doet België een eerste poging om de restaurants rookvrij te houden. Daar hoort natuurlijk een mediacampagne bij, maar omdat de televisie vooralsnog meer uit dan aan staat, had ik deze gemist. Geen nood echter, on-point�s eerst �Boodschap van Algemeen Nut�: ==V.I.D.E.O.== Opmerkingen (in [...]

Had a blast last night. We’ll be back on the spot, coldrockin’ it for you and yours: January 12th for Fridaynightsession and January 27th to kick of the first in a series of Wonderful nights (alongside Wonderland (live), Lefto and Brown Moshunz) Much love to The Tavernier Fam, all ppklts warriors, Brown Moshunz, OndaSonora’s BLA, [...]

�Weet je wat ze daarvoor gebruiken?� �Neen.� �Varkensvet.� Het schuim op mijn industriële espresso. Dat wist ik dus niet neen. Mijn voorkeur gaat altijd al uit naar de traditionele filterkoffie, dus van smaak was al weinig sprake. En dan krijg je dat dus ook nog. Varkensvet, nasmeulend drijfvet op mijn koffie. Erg fijngevoelig van mr. [...]

Bloggers ondereen durven het al eens over statistieken hebben. Sterker nog, het is naast RSS en CSS een verplichte topic. Gisteren een pint gepakt met Mich, wat overigens resulteerde in een puik stukje blog van zijn kant een dezer dagen. Bleek dat hij met gemak de on-point statistieken dubbelt. Ik voelde een steek in de [...]

Sinds de literatuurcomments ben ik niet gestopt met lezen, al moet ik toegeven dat ik nog geen enkele van de tips gevolgd heb. De books-to-read stapel lag al een tijdje klaar en voorlopig zijn deze al de revue gepasseerd: The Long Tail (Chris Anderson) Ex-Minnaar (Herman Brusselmans) Enkele dagen geleden ben ik dan aan �Werk� [...]

Ik had het er eerder al over, een stukje video over de soundtrack van Vidange Perdue, met Tom Kestens en ons aller Krewcial, ook wel bekend van Lalalover.

Looks like Belgium’s silently growing to an unseen level of on-pointness. With Delta in Brussels and Jaba in Luik/Liège having opened new expo’s last week, this week none other than Piet Parra opens his expo in Ghent. You’ve no doubt read about Parra before, it may well have been here. Let me link you through [...]

Was planning on doing an extended Dilla feature when this came in and I just had to give it to you right away: the video to the late JayDee’s ‘Won’t Do’. (featuring Dilla’s brother and mother, alongside a whole lot of people) Got this from this new site I hadn’t heard of before: imeem.com > [...]

The long-awaited live footage of the legendary Moiano-crew workin’ it out at Jazzbreak last month. Thanks to Peter and the fam, Ugo and the loving Tavernier posse! (More footage might be uploaded later on, for now you get a neat 10 minutes featuring 3 tracks) Dig it: Especially loving Nina going for hers at around [...]

Unfortunately our secret Christmas night is cancelled. Or better, postponed till end of January. Sorry for that. But with that it looks like January will be quite the busy month over here at On-Point Headquarters, since another night has been added to the Brussels nightlife! Wonderful it is called and it comes from the mastermind [...]

All Ireland lovers will be delighted to see this 30-minute docu on Dublin’s bike couriers. Or how a job can be healthy, stressing, urban, hip, alternative, etc. etc. all at the same time! I love the way I don’t understand a word of what these bikers are saying, or is it just me? Anyway, here’s [...]

De DELTA expo bij ons aller Alice hebben we gisteren middels menige Vedette en een interview met de man zelve geopend. Door de drukte heb ik de expo nog niet tot in alle details gezien, maar alles blijft nog staan zoals het stond tot 21 januari. Vanavond opent in Luik de JABA & ISA expo. [...]
