Every now and then we have to keep the memory to the man called Bill Hicks alive. Simply because every now and then we catch ourselves thinking: ‘What Would Bill Hicks Say?‘ A movie about the late, great comic whose scorched-earth riffs on pop culture, drugs and politics earned him legions of fans seems to [...]
Late 2007: “Here’s what we should do: a jam-session!”, brother vic (aka jtothec for those not in the know) exclaimed. So our man arranged an obscure stripping joint in the midst of Flanders’ fields, got a bunch of ‘bad mothafuckas’ together and started jamming. Turntables in place, Hammond in place, MPC in place, Micro-Korg in [...]
This is no overenthusiasm, but I’ve just discovered ‘Tales of Mere Existence’ the animations of Ley Yilmaz, and this man is undoubtedly to be crowned a genius (somebody probably did that already, by now). His observations are way to recognisable, I’m guessing for àll of us. Some might call these sarcastic, I think they are [...]
I’ve been looking for Shook Magazine in Belgium for a while now, but it seems like it isn’t distributed over here (do correct me if I’m wrong, I might be mistaken). On my latest weekender trip to Amsterdam the kind people at Rush Hour had to tell me the sad news they sold all of [...]
Sunday is still a lazy day, and as you know, it’s time for your almost-weekly Long Play. ‘Good Copy Bad Copy‘ is a beautiful round-up of the current state of copyright and culture. The Danish documentary makers went around the world to examine the different ways how people are dealing with copyright nowadays. The situation [...]
This week looks like a killer spree for the Sozyone fans out there. You’ve probably seen his recent work with Carhartt. Now pardon me while I share this new series of Carhartt t-shirts with you:
Did you know, that a breakfast is not to be considered as such, if you’ve not eaten it within twenty minutes after getting up? Knowledge needs to be shared, so now you know. Apart from that, the week’s been quite an inspiring one, the fruits of which you’ll witness any time soon. Until then, here’s [...]
Meanwhile it looks like Sozyone is doing it big in Spain as well. I mean, this is just massive: “El Hijo De La Gran Puta“, his new solo album, is dropping September 15th by the way…
This next episode of On-Point TV took a while to finish. Both the interview as well as the images were shot in November 2007, started editing right away but because of subtitling and other video work I put it on hold. Until now. Thanks to Funky Bompa and Helena Chambon for the translation work, you’re [...]

Last night me and my man Billy were cruising through the exquisite Schaarbeek part of Brusselstown: ‘Right here, lloyd, see that big building?’ ‘Sure do’. ‘Dude has pigeons on the rooftop’. You probably know about my fascination with the most royal of all city birds, and especially people training them on rooftops in the city. [...]
Our Latin Thing was in our ‘favourite music lessons‘ list just a while ago. For the simple fact that it’s a brilliant introduction to New York’s vivrant Latin music scene back in the seventies. Considered the Mecca of Latin music the Fania label was/is highly reputed for it’s unique blend of Lating styles and recording [...]
Put cups in a fence and you’ve blown some fresh air into street art. Andy Uprock is the man behind the concept, his having a little tour around the world with it now, you might catch him rocking cups in a fence near you: I’m not the biggest fan of the concept, but I must [...]
This week was my first in the nine-to-five way of life. Coming right after last weekend – with the blogging for Humo’s festivalsite and the vic&lloyd gig in Roeselare on Saturdaynight – I must say I haven’t found that much time to keep you on-point. A lot of things are being put into place though, [...]
Remember how the New York Times covered this amazing story on a small community of Indian kids in Queens, New York, pimping their bikes into massive mobile soundsystems? A story like that should make for a great documentary, and guess what, it’s already done did: Made In Queens:
