Yep, it’s sunday and i’m lazy so i post my own pictures. I shot this one at CDG while i was walking to get on board. I need to poke with photoshop and find out how to remove the reflection i got from shooting through a window, any help/link welcome!
Oh, If you’re bored, check also this. Happy sunday all :)
I almost forgot to post music here this month :) Let’s make it up! Wanna hear what i would define as the sound of my days in Amsterdam? Sincerely i never really listened much house music before i moved but since everybody here seems to be Dj, i came to discover new and, i’ll admit it, interesting sounds! I came to know the EarlyMorning Podcast along that. A fine selection of deep and relaxing grooves made by Tijn is Fijn and published as podcasts. Open this link with iTunes and it’ll download the other episodes to your ipod. Good for bike rides and for tram waiting ;)
This all started a little bit more than a week ago, when i came back from a vacation in my native Poitou (district of France). Despite my worse fears, i had a very good time over there. Back in dutchyland, i was relaxed and motivated to change a couple things in my everyday. i was so motivated that i decided to quit smoking! Just to put you in my chair for a second: i smoke since more than 10 years, 15 to 20 ciggies a day and that’s not including the pimped ones. My mum used to be big on the cigarette as well. Smart her, she quited 5 years ago. So if she was able to quit, why not me?
While i was in France recently my man Max had me trying his new toy. Definitely not for kids, this mini cross bike is awesomely fast with its 125cc 4 strokes engine! Perfect tool for unlimited fun in the back country :p Turn up the volume and remind me to add this gadget on my wishlist ;)
La Coka Nostra! ok, first of all let me tell you: i’ve seen them live Wednesday evening at the Melkweg in Amsterdam and it was PURE DOPE! (videos to come soon, if i ever manage to fix the sound.) So after helping me banging my head against the front stage all the evening, La Coka Nostra just released a mixtape “The Audacity of Coke” mixed by Statik Selektah and Dj Eclipse. Guess what, it’s available to y’all for download! This is actually teasing the new album “A brand You Can Trust” coming out July 14th (new tracks already streaming on myspace). Don’t miss it, it’s ill!
Shot in HD and 3D using the amazing Red Camera, ‘They Came From’ is the latest production from Factor Films and it’s for sure gonna be one of the biggest snowboard video out this year. No release date announced yet but if you’ve been good little riders this year you might get it for Christmas.
If you don’t know what Sensation White is: it’s a big (very big) dance party organized in the Amsterdam Arena (the stadium). When i say big it’s something like 60000 people (at 69 euros per tickets, do the maths yourself…). Only one dress code: all white! (hence the name, heh).
I wasn’t there, but my lucky flatmate (above) was there and apparently had a great time! Check the official pics of the evening, the stage was just amazing. And if audio don’t bothers you then check also youtube!
Costa del soul is an electronic music festival taking place tomorrow on Blijburg beach in Amsterdam (yes we do have a beach, small but still…). If you’re not about 25 euros i’ll strongly suggest to get there and party -> infos

i did have a hard time Quitting Smoking but several months of discipline and the use of nicotine patches helped me a lot to stop smoking.
music, pictures, artwork, events, discoveries, real and imaginary dialogs that punctuates my everyday. This is my continuous exploration of Amsterdam's peoples and way of life.
