Come summer

The first of August, and finally a day with high tempertures again. With a bit of luck tempertures will move above 25 degrees Celsius, and during my walk in the park at lunchbreak I already noticed people were taking the advantage out of the beautiful weather. Sun worshipers along the canal of the Staten Bolwerk, boats in the water and the lyrics of Come Summer by Fra Lippo Lippi in my head.

This is the way that It feels,
Beyond the border and out of reach
I'm hiding in places where no one can find me,
Touching the simple life

When summer comes breezing I’d like to be there
The sun and the sea and a breath of fresh air
When summer comes, there’s nothing so true
Somewhere in heaven and over the moon

This is the way that it feels,
Climb to the top of the highest mountain
See what is hidden behind the blue curtain,
See what is given to us

When summer comes breezing I’d like to be there
The sun and the sea and a breath of fresh air
When summer comes, there’s nothing so true
Somewhere in heaven and over the moon

When summer comes breezing I’d like to be there
The sun and the sea and a breath of fresh air
When summer comes, there’s nothing so true
Somewhere in heaven and over the moon


For sure it's a beautiful day, and it's unfortunate I can only enjoy the sun for half an hour.

An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Vol. 32

And that brings us to Volume 32 of An Introduction To Dutch New Wave. This time 65% of the numbers came from recent purchased vinyl. I will keep telling that Discogs has become a major resource for discovering and hunting vinyl from bands and artists, that sometimes released one single only. But since a couple of weeks I am using a great cross reference site called Nederlandse vinylsingles . The guys behind this site are doing a great job, tracking down all Dutch vinyl singles. Some information on several songs. The Kimono track is spelled wrong. I kept it this way, since the cover of the single shows the same title. It’s one of the groups of which I used the single b-side instead of the a-side. The others are Blackout (b-side of Obscure Disco), G.T. Modell (b-side of Scratch Your Act) and Weekend At Waikiki (b-side of The Valley). Frederic And The Flies was a one off project by producer duo Bolland and Bolland. Not only the group name refers to Adam And The Ants, t...

A Flock Of Seagulls

Being a fan for many many years I was really surprised the band decided finally, after 25 years, to do an European tour again. I am aware of the fact that it's only Mike Score nowadays who's left of the old line-up. Still I like to see them, because back in 1984 I was unable to visit the famous Noorderligt at Tilburg. On 09-09-09 A Flock Of Seagulls will play the well known Paradiso theatre in Amsterdam. I became an instant fan of the four when I heard I Ran on the radio. But it was Wishing (if I had a photograph of you) which really turned me into AFOS. Through the years I was able to track down most of their vynil releases. And of course the CD's followed as well. I even became a member of the Airborne Division. With the internet things changed and in 1996 I was able to get a CDR copy of most of the b-sides and rare recordings of AFOS ripped from vynil, which I like to share with you. The recordings are from the period 1982 - 1985 when they had the line-up of: Mike Score ...
