For the first time in their history, Moleskine is presenting the Brussels edition of their notebooks. The kind people of Moleskine gave me three notebooks to give away with the on-point crowd. They say giving is the new taking, so you’ll have to do something in order to make a chance to win one of [...]

This is the sixth installment of namedroppings. Seems like 2009 will be one hard-hitting year, packed with quality music. Fuck what you heard, music ain’t dead! On a personal level, this is the list I’ve been anticipating the most. Jazz Neversleeps never disappointed me when it came to quality discoveries. In the design field he [...]

First issue of the new year and The Word is going stronger than ever. The style of the magazine is nicely revamped. And contentwise, this is one of the most solid ones yet, in my humble opinion. The article that caught most of my attention, is the Web3.0 feature. With web2.0 being the thing we’ve [...]

Every now and then I get asked where I draw my inspiration from. Blogwise, videowise, musicwise, artworkwise, lifewise… I figured it would be nice to share another list of blogs which I’ve found highly inspirational over the last couple of months. (did a similar list in April, by the way) This is not a best-of-blogs [...]

The Cum* brothers are back in their hometown, back from the sunny city of California, where they opened their ‘Beg To Differ’ exhibit over at the Kinsey/Desforges Gallery. I couldn’t make it to Cali, but the boys were kind enough to share some impressions of what I missed. I’m loving this new style of portraits [...]

Word on the street is on-point.be will close down for a month. Well, that is very correct. I might explain the reasons behind this month of offlineness in a future post, but until that time, enjoy your Friday, by clicking these links: Videos: Mulatu x Heliocentrics – making of Best animations I’ve seen in a [...]

Van widder Voe gidder” – Belgian/Westflemish dialect for “From us, for you” – is the first, and only, mixtape vic&lloyd ever released. Back in 2001, Mr. Mungus (now a.k.a. =lloyd=) and J to the C (a.k.a. =vic=) put together a 90 minute cassette mixtape, each a 45 minute side, demonstrating their first adventures into the [...]

Amsterdam’s blogging personality numero uno Nalden has had the craziest year behind him. Nalden.net and Momkai flipped the script of blog design and with that all eyes were on this hyperactive Dutchman, who instantly started travelling the world, leaving local entrepreneurs speechless, going ‘haha’ for weeks thereafter. All praises to Nalden, whom I had asked [...]

In all honesty, I am far from a Nina Simone connoisseur, but I’ve always had a big appreciation for the legacy she’s left us with. Below is a 26 -minute Nina Simone documentary film by Peter Rodis out of 1969. Source for footage of various other films, including The Legend and others. Touched by her [...]

I’ve introduced you to Niels – Shoe – Meulman’s Calligraffiti work before right? (I sure did, on the one and the two) Now pardon me, because it seems like I had overlooked this killer video of Shoe doing what he does best: Calligraffiti in the open air, in a neat suit. So fresh, so clean. [...]

Today, I’ll be mostly tired. Tonight, I’ll be mostly sleeping. Nonetheless, here’s what caught my eye this week: Videos: Moiano – Ethiopics videoclip NBS Nightly News in 1970 Marketing’s Dramatic Shift (brilliant animation) Laeken Cemetery Q-Tip – Man/Woman Boogie Articles: Writing in the Age of Distraction

Every now and then, I sleep on things. Every now and then, people shake me up, yelling: ‘you have to check this out, lloyd, come on!’ Every now and then, it’s the author him/herself yelling at me. Now I’m very hisitant when it comes to the shameless self-promo plugs. But you serve me an Orval [...]

Allright okay, I’ve been avoiding the topic for such a long time now, but it’s inauguration day in the States, and needless to say I’ll be very happy to see Obama taking over the White House. (Although politically speaking, I’m still way more left-wing than any American president will ever be, but that’s another story.) [...]

Hear the wind and the tumbleweeds passing by these abandoned gasoline stations. Inspired by Ed Ruscha – who travelled along Route 66 in the 60’s and made 26 photographs – French photographer Eric Tabuchi photographed twentysix abandoned gasoline stations in France. The result is beautiful to me, abandoned or not, I’d still go for a [...]

Still one of my favourite radioshows on the interwebs: Basic Soul Radio, I could resist but kindly ask mr. Simon Harrison, if he’d feel like compiling another list of music names we all should keep our eyes on in the year that is. Sure enough – like last year – mr. Harrison delivered another exquisite [...]

Detroit Wildlife tells the story of the motor city, but from a slightly different angle than we’re usually getting served. No techno or hiphop in this one, no murder capital vibe either. Last Summer, Florent Tillon went to the city to make a taster video that should help him fund the making of a full [...]

This is a scheduled post. I’m currently not blogging or anything, but having a bit of a brainstorm session in the Ardennes. But since I figured you’d be mad at me if I didn’t deliver another hot list of links for you to end your week and fill your Friday, I made you a list [...]

A quick post, out of the Ardennes, on a sloppy connection… Hope to catch all of you, this Friday night at Café Bota, Brussels, as we’re playing another Cheeba Cheeba night, and it’s a special one, since it’s JtotheC’s birthday, and extra special guest Shimmy Timmy is coming to tear the roof off. That’s right: [...]

Continuing our lists of 2009 names to look out for, in steps the man called Lefto. Brussels baddest dj/radiohost/promoter/etc. I don’t even know if there’s a need to introduce him anymore? You’ll find a bio right here. And you might want to read ‘Lefto – The Early Bird‘ article Julius and me wrote about the [...]

I have to give a big hug to NuJazzSpirit for introducing me to FriendsWeLove a couple of months ago. The project was only just starting out at the time, but in the meantime the list of videos is getting longer and longer, so I figured it’s only right to share it with you. FriendsWeLove asks [...]

This week is an extra long play. Haven’t found the time to check it out myself, but I’ve been looking for this for a while now (ever since I’ve seen Ross Kemp in Ricky Gervais’ Extras, and I didn’t know who this man was). Below you’ll find four episodes of ‘Ross Kemp on Gangs ‘, [...]
