Took some time out to read some old articles on “my Generation’s sensibilities” (that’s right, again and again). I loved the terms Generation Me or i-Generation before, but apparently we’re labeled GenY nonetheless now. Not the most inspired brainstorm session led to that, I’m guessing. If you’re somewhere between 15 to 31 years old, it’s [...]

Some people have been asking me how Vic was doing. What was he up to, could I confirm rumours on him making hit record after hit record, but still not sharing any gems. Some sources even rumoured Vic had his platinum hits already hanging on the wall. Well. Yes. Our main man is one solid [...]

The Ultimate Getaway. That’s the theme of the fourth issue of The Word. Although most people interpreted this theme as a holiday thing, mr. Julien Mourlon and I were quickly agreeing on the fact that in Belgium’s recent history there has been only one ultimate getaway: — “We interrupt this program for a special news [...]

Not that I’m a sucker for promo packaging or anything, but when it’s properly done, I just feel the need to share it with you. Plus, it put a smile on my face, that is always a bonus. Flying Lotus is going strong, and with ‘Los Angeles’ out and in stores now, it’s a celebration. [...]

As of today, On-Point TV is an official user on Dailymotion. Not getting into details, but this means for instance that today the Sozyone Gonzalez Interview teaser is headlining the homepage of Dailymotion. Let’s pray this will put some extra light on the José James feature as well, been overwhelmed by positive feedback on that [...]

Again, no time for documentaries this week. Since Thursday I’ve been camping at Dour Festival, trying to capture the vibe. In a way, it’s a long play too: Saturdaynight Flying Lotus Gilles Peterson Dorian Concept Buckshot (Black Moon) Triggerfinger Wu-flags The Infamous Camping Djembé The Dour site Previous festival reports:

The kind people over at kicksnare.be asked me to compile a little list. A top ten of whatever. Needless to say we’re down with lists galore. Rather than another ‘favourite tunes’ list, I decided to knock out a list of favourite music documentaries. Watch it.

Waddup though! It’s been a while, which really wasn’t my bad. Apparently hosting switched servers and something must have went wrong, hence the recent offlineness. The host apologies for the inconvenience. But we’re back, now. Top of the morning and all. Got me an early night of sleep and with that the batteries feel almost [...]

After seeing Devil’s Playground I wasn’t thinking about the Amish themselves, but started wondering why I even knew about these people in the first place. I mean, there are no Amish in Europe, are there? How come we know about them then? It must be a media thing. Which made me think… Without any mindstumbling [...]

The following message is a scheduled one, it’s Thursday night, and I figured it would be funny to talk to you from the past. I just wanted to let you know that the busy-ness is not a pose, and I’m doing my very best to keep serving you that old on-pointness as I know you [...]

We’re very much looking forward to tomorrow night. Vic&lloyd teaming up with the infamous Funky Bompa to tear the roof of Café Bota, Brussels. Don’t miss out on this one, since it’s most likely to expect some exclusive live madness, with extra special guest Shimmy Timmy on the vocals/harmonics, that’s right! This is bound to [...]

How do you take stop-motion animation to the next level, making all Michel Gondry afficionados week in the knees? One schedules two years of production time, takes 300 films, prints out 65.000 frames, and starts folding them into three dimensional objects. That’s it basically, the result is amazing, love the end.   (via)

After five or six days of festivalvibes, got home, witnessed the mess called the on-point headquarters. And I didn’t feel like blogging. At all. So I lay down, and fell asleep, in the middle of the afternoon. Which felt damn good. Took a pad and a pen and took note: ‘tiredness can be a good thing’. [...]

Sorry folks, no Long Play on a Lazy Day today, but you know why. Your favourite blogger is holding it down all the way from Humo’s blogging center at Werchter Festival. Here’s a little summary of the videos I’ve made over the last couple of days. Had major technical difficulties – from computer crash to [...]

As of tomorrow (or tonight even) I’ll be at Werchter Festival, until Sunday. I’ve been asked to make video mood pieces for the festival blog of Humo. This will be quite a challenge for your favourite blogger, given that I kind of grew up on reading Humo – then again, I was raised in a [...]
