Lately, I’ve been quite amazed by how many proper video content has been put online, so much, for a minute there, I couldn’t keep up with it. Here’s a selection, plus two top notch articles: Videos: If Mos Def were president (GOOD Magazine) Ricky Gervais in ‘Who’s Nailin Sarah Palin’ Sex in Japan Notorious – [...]
The first time my man Gust told me how he wanted to shoot his first feature film I thought he was crazy. Then again, I’ve worked with Gust myself, as we’ve made the soon-to-be-put-online mini-documentary on the Cum* brothers, and I know for a fact he is one gifted moviemaker. The story is Felix Timmermans’ [...]
Two weeks ago I had the chance to go to Amsterdam for the job. Coincidentally, that very weekend my brotherfromanothermother Kid Sublime was presenting his long-awaited Rappin’ Blak album, out now, on Dopeness Galore. What a brilliant evening that was, as it united so many fine people of the extended on-point family. Click on the [...]
Can’t explain how happy I was this morning, copping local newspaper Le Soir, seeing tonights already-legendary Cheeba Cheeba party was featured in a nice little write-up. Made me forget about the absurdly long public transport trip ahead. No mentioning of vic&lloyd (JtotheC and yours truly, that is) however – strangely enough – but that’s all [...]
As you’ll all be attending Cheeba Cheeba tonight, you’ll be drop-dead tired of dancing and prancing for the rest of the weekend. So you might enjoy a couple of links to browse through, properly served, as usual: Machine of the week: For the Peanut Butter Lovers Videos: Q-Tip – Move Q-Tip about Renaissance & ATCQ [...]

Remember Ladj Ly? The man who brought you numerous brilliant video productions together with his Kourtrajme family? Following up the infamous ’365 Jours à Clichy Montfermeil’ documentary and the ’28 millimètres’ project (together with JR), Ladj Ly is back in full force with ‘Go Fast Connexion’, an exclusive report on the cannabis traffic in the [...]

Funny how things can go, the videoclip to ‘Track 4′ by Aardvarck & U-Gene was crowned ‘Most Cutting-Edge Dutch Videoclip Ever’ last weekend at the Amsterdam International Film Festival. The clip is far from new, it’s been online for three years already… Better late than never, so: congratulations Menno Otten of Pure Moods, and his [...]
I’m down with disco goddamnit, so when I saw Wild Combination: a Portait of Arthur Russell is hitting stores any time soon, I felt utterly excited. Yes indeed. Arthur Russell is a legend, a myth. I’m having the hardest time trying to describe his sound, a haunting cello driven production which makes your hips live [...]
Tune in tonight on German webradio Soulsender.de, as the fine people over there will air our now-classic “Pick You Up At Midi” mix. Well, you’ve heard it already probably – if not, it’s still up for grabs. Still, tune in and browse through their program schedule, there’s a mighty fine selection of quality music to [...]
There will always be more parties and gigs you miss out on then there are that you’ll have been to. One can only be at one time and place at a time (I’m in Paris for the weekend, I can’t complain). Still, it’s hurting me to say I can’t go to Jill’s Roller Disco Party [...]
Once again NuJazzSpirit was back in the On-Point Headquarters today. Storming in, presenting another mid-week music discovery. Just as I was still vibing to the sweet sound of Miles Bonny she recommended previously, in she comes with another blast… NuJazzSpirit: “There’s not really a big discovery story to tell here though, simply put, it went [...]
Just about as classic and as must-see as it gets, sit down on this lazy evening and watch Crumb. A cinematic portrait of the controversial comic book writer/artist and his traumatized family. A Portrait of Madness and Genius. Robert Crumb drew Keep On Truckin’, Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the [...]
Premiering in Ghent, Belgium tonight: the first full-length feature coming out of the infamous Vice vaults. ‘Heavy Metal in Baghdad‘ tells the crazy story of the only heavy metal band in Iraq. VBS.tv (Vice’s television concept, right) followed the band over a period of three years. In the late summer of 2006, filmmakers Eddy Moretti [...]
Just because I was in The Dam holding it down like a big game hunter posing for the camera, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t serve you some fresh links, now does it? Right, click trought, tap through, as you wish: Videos: Keating Economics The Hidden Cost of War Jay Electronica Tom Trago in the studio [...]
Now of course Myspace didn’t change music, but the site has its influence and – who knows – it may have changed peoples music habits. Digging deeper into the question on exactly how big an influence Myspace is in today’s music industry and in what ways, my man Ricky – Üdio – asked me to [...]
This next set of photos is simply stumbling to the mind. Ow, how I’d love to install the On-Point HeadQuarters in one of these: the abandoned and terribly mistreated ‘UFO houses’ of Sanjhih, Taiwan: I love how the series ends with a view from outer space, straight out of Google Maps, brilliant.
And so it happened you’d seen the week come to an end without Friday’s freshness, hadn’t you? No worries though, get with it: Music: Video: What is FatBeats? Video: Beatbox to MIDI (control mpc w/ your mouth) Anticipated movie of the season: Synecdoche, New York – Trailer Reflection: Going to the Googles A Guide to [...]
This week’s mid-week music was supposed to be online… in the middle of the week. Due to technicalities this wasn’t the case, but you’re gettng it anyway, aren’t you? After Jazz Neversleeps and NuJazzSpirit it’s my turn to put you onto some music, it’s new nor exclusive but still unknown to a lot of people: [...]
A while ago the kind people of Immediate Future got in touch with me asking if I’d like to have a look at the new gadget Sony was then about to release on the market, some sort of dancing mp3 playing robot. As crazy as it sounded to me, I was quite fascinated by the [...]
