Finally we can share something we've worked on for the last couple of years/months. We would like to present you the new EP we recorded, entitled 'The Lost Page'. It features 5 songs which we are really proud of. Two of the songs we're directly written when we started this blog. Right after our inspiring trip to Kalimantan, while editing the movie, Rob and I started writing songs to capture the

Its mid winter, but you can feel it; spring is on our doorstep. With the sounds of Elbow I long for a bit of sun. To touch the bit of warmth, when you glance outside with your sleepy eyes.The first rays of sunlight, foggy because of the morning dew. But clear enough to know that this is going to be a promising day. We change from moody emotional people to lighter thinking easy going individuals,

Congratulations to senator Barack Obama with his win on the USA presidential elections 2008. I watched CNN all night and am really glad that the new president of the United States is a Democrat. The Republican are is over and a new wind of change will hopefully increase trust in the US administration again. Although as president Obama already said, a government can't solve all problems in short

"Useless Violence" a common issue? It seems like it. Not only in the Netherlands but seen the last press release a big issue in the UK as well. Last Saturday a 14-year old and a 15-year old kid were stabbed to death in the UK. According too the press release the 14-year old boy was the 25th victim who died caused by stab wounds this year in the United Kingdom.    It sounds like fiction,

The reason why I intentionally began to write this piece is today's press release about the attack on the 28 year old Niels Kooistra. He became paralysed caused by numerous stabs in his face and body . And due too his severe injuries he decided to comit euthanasia.  The justice department arrested the accused but in this case they don't know on what ground they should charge the accused with.

I just have to share this one. I guess one of the bands that inspire me a lot for the last 2 years it is Seattle based 'Death Cab For Cutie'. Especially the last 2 albums where both the music and lyrics really inspiring and honest. I found this article in which songwriter Ben Gibbard shares his feelings on life, art and solitude. It is written in a way so beautifull, that I read the 3 pages in no

Yeh working with Model Racing Cars is a strange but a fun business. Seeing guys and gals from the age of 16 till 65, gathering along the race track and doing there thing is fun to watch.

During our lifetime we get adjusted to the ways we live by. If you work then you are part of different "economies" even if you don't work but act as a consumer you are part of the economy. Even better you as consumer have power to make economy. Consumers are important in the way companies act on the market.But on the other hand is this really the case?-------------------------------------------

Although it is already the 8th of January, I still want to post my 10 favourite albums of 2007. While making the list, I really noticed that 2007 didn't have many spectacular releases. I spent most of the year listening to records dating back from 2006. Records from artists like People in Planes, Pete Murray, Thom Yorke, Kings of Convenience, John Mayer, Oceansize and Incubus.But luckily there

After a harsh struggle of 3 weeks against the "powerful" disease cancer, his body and mind gave up and returned into peace. Powerful in the sense that cancer strikes hundreds, if its not millions, of people each year. He died in the hospital located in Germany. I remember waking up that morning around 8.30, we

Wow autumn and wow November already. Time passes at rapid speed, or so it seems. Getting up when it still shady outside, going home when night falls. Seems to be the time of year where a cloth of mixed scents, colors and mood swings are the main shivers in human minds.Although in mine it is. I can always count on this time of year to feel more "empty", might be a slight depressed feeling. But

I just wanna share a special moment with ya all. It occurred during our stay in Kalimantan Indonesia. We had to make a registration at the police station to enter the rain forest.The funny thing is about the people in Kalimantan that they haven't seen a lot of persons like me, adopted - indonesian looking and raised in the Netherlands. First of all they don't really understand the concept of

How odd can we be,to feel what we see,and see what we think,when we think with our heart,How odd can we be,to touch what we recognize,or to stay away from the thing that is wrong, but to enjoy the scent of love,and cherish the time when its lost,how odd can i be,too think of you..

We all know Salman Rushie, as he wrote The Satanic Verses published in 1988. His novel caused a worldwide debate and a fatwa was issued against Salman by the Supreme Leader of Iran, a Shi'a Muslim scholar. In other words Salman's death was wanted by the supreme leaders of the Muslim world. Salman Rushie had to withdraw himself in anonymity and live in shelter for many years.Last week Salman

Yesterday the 4th of may our beloved lady friend Renee has past away. She fought cancer for more then a year and she fought against it very well. We all hoped that she would overcome her disease. But now she is released from her pain.Renee was the girlfriend of one of my dearest friends Steve. Our thought will go to him as he managed to stand by her for all the hard times they had to go through.

Yeah it has been long long time posting something. I have been very busy with my new job at ING Card. I totally managed to get back in society again.

Hi Folks!Well I can tell you the pieces are coming together! Tonight I spent a couple of hours with Rob editing on a part of the Kalimantan trip. What we exactely did, I wont tell, but I can tell you that it is inspired by the trailer of the movie THE AMAZONES. Also some Pink Panther influences and some Laurel & Hardy sounds. It's going to be exciting, yes it is.For the last two weeks I edited

Today is a day of memories. Especially memories about music. I used to play in 2 bands. Called Fluid Essence and Chakra. In the first one i played the guitar and in the second one i was the lead singer. At a certain point in my life - i decided to quit both bands at the same time.Music has always been the "red dread" in my life. And it will always will be. I want to post two songs. The first one

Today i read a post on Nu.NL about the agreement of protecting one third of Borneo's rain forest by Indonesia, Malaysia and the sultanate Brunei. That means that the construction of 1.8 million hectare of palm oil plantations has been obstructed. While we were in Kalimantan (Borneo) we traveled a long distance into the rain forest. We were to aspect palm oil plantations in that region. But to our

A few days ago i had a talk - with my friend Tim - about hero's or heroins in time. Or if i would define the hero; a person of ideal who can influence the ways of life for the greater good. The reason of this subject came from our talks about change. My own definition of a hero is a superficial one, because a person who can influence the ways of life - in a great extend - can be for the good as

Yes i will keep on spamming about the topic Global Warming.Today i watched the program Have your Say on BBC World. It was about the latest report GW of the IPCC. Stated that it is 90% sure that GW has been influenced by us, people. Instead of 60%. Al tho it took almost 6 years to set up the report. Nevertheless I see a positive growth in the acceptance - by us - that GW is caused by humankind

Lyrics by Pete Murray (So Beautiful)Found myself just the other dayIn the backyard of a friends placeThinking about youThinking of the crowd you're in,What you're up to, where you've been,Just thinking...You know the clothes that you wear, and the color in your hair,Shouldn't change you,Now you tell me why is it so,You're bigger than Mighty JoeAt least you think soGod my fingers burned,Now when I

The cold month January is almost past in our memories. In a few months spring season begins and she will unfold her beauty of flowers and newborns. In my mind she resembles a new start of life. As well as new chances for Cupid. We like to call it - the opening season for love.It reminds me of the 14th of February - Valentine's day. As i recall - when i was in Highschool - the 14th of

Lyrics by Norah JonesWhen the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you began When the day is done When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold.

The 18th of January, a second meeting was planned at Sanders house to meet up again with our travel mates. And, Yes, let me start with my journey to get there.My original idea was to travel directly from Lisse to Amsterdam. I knew there was a weather warning and trains stopped running. But as naive as i am, i took the bus to Haarlem central to get on the train towards Central Station Amsterdam.

After watching the documentary/movie An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, it made me aware that it is really necessary to do something about reducing emissions, to bring our responsibility back too society.

Hi there,Well, what can I say. It is almost 2 o'clock midnight. Rob & I just finished screening and cutting all the footage for the Indonesia movie. I feel really silent now. I can say I feel the same way when we got on the plane from Singapore to Amsterdam on December the 30th. I miss that place and I know for sure that this is going to be a kick ass movie. We have some great ideas on how to

Glow of light as a memory of our past, nor cold nor warm she travels too fast,we can not touch nor can we smell, but without her it would be living hell,imagine Black, not even Grey, no colored rainbow nor a brand new Day.As she travels on beyond written time,Seasons will follow within her shrine,As Venus she shines, as Helios she rides,she roams in past and long forgotten flights.

Later Sander & Aysem joined us. Rob made me an administrator for this blog as well, so I hope you don't mind reading some of my stuff every now and then.

Even rain can not harm the Star of Yokja. The mouson was late. On Bali it didn't rain for weeks and now in Yokja it was poring down for hours. The rain started to pore down around 3 o'clock. Unlike the star of Indonesia we had to get some shelter against the mouson rain.The Borobodur (pic on the left) one of the wonders build on this earth.

Last night, when i actually was ready to go too bed, i remembered having an old blog. I was wondering if i could find it again. I didn't knew the username and my password anymore. So "googling" was the answer. I remembered one thing that is used my pseudonym, smackbusiness. So i googled it. And there it was. January the 6th i made a post about freedom of speech and democracy.

Today my mood is better. Had a busy day cleaning up my old house where i lived with my family. We sold the house and we can close down the period of uncertainty.Slight history of the period:My father died the 14th of December last year. After a sickbed of 3 weeks. He had a real aggressive cancer in his body that could not be cured. Actually he heard about his cancer 3 weeks before he died. That

The first question is why am i making this post. At this moment i have a slight fall back in my own perspective of society in general. After watching several shows of Theo Maassen i got a bit agressive in the sence of actually being back and seeing the people around me. Especially in the super markets.

Smoking Kretek is something that can't be missed when you are in Indonesia. 7.800 rupia per pack. Although you have too like the scent and the taste of this cigarette, it has to be something you should try when visiting Indonesia.While we were on the boat for 5 days without Bintang, there was just one thing we did have. And that was 30 packs of Kretek. 15 packs of 12 and 15 packs of 16. We had

Mystery over missing plane It was very weird too hear the news from Indonesia of the last couple of days. At first we read the news in Singapore about the sunken ferry. Which was on the same route, Kalimantan too Semarang, we flew by plane with Trigana Air. Then a few days later the crash of the carrier Adam Air. We flew with airlines just like the carrier Adam Air. Lion Air and Trigana Air.

Bintang the engine of our trip. We started with the booze on Bali and we ended the trip with the booze on Bali. Average price of 15.000 rupia per half a liter. Other then the dutch beers we could drink lots of it, even tho it had the same alcohol percentage of 5%.In Yokja we had a special Bintang bar we used to go too almost every night.Bintang Resto Foods & Beverages, JL.

Last night I paid a visit too the friends I traveled with. The blur of our holiday is still noticeable. Some of us haven't recovered from the jet lag yet. Its strange, waking up early every morn and being tiered at 7 pm. The feeling of wrong time is still in our system. We watched a show from one of our famous dutch stand up comedians.

The Thirty first of December arrived at 7 am. Back on dutch shores. Now its the third of January 2007. What is it like, too get "home" after being away for one month in a totally different world.
