The More You Live, The More You Love

This time a view days later than the normal Friday. It all has to do with a long weekend spent on Vlieland, one of the Wadden isles. The funny thing is the cover was already choosen before we went on holiday. Funny, yes, since the cover is the harbour service checkpoint of Harlingen, the harbour from which you leave with the ferry to Vlieland. Vlieland is a beautiful island, with only 1200 inhabitants. the island became famous when the tv series Doctor Deen, the female general practitioner on the island. Three seasons were shot sofar and the recordings for the fourth and last season are planned for 2017. The island only has one village, with de Dorpsstraat as the center of the village. Okay the tracklist for Volume 11 is: 01. LUL - New Band (1:43) 02. The Two - Reflection In Time (3:38) 03. Cancel - Swamp Children (4:38) 04. Plane Of Section - Hold (5:08) 05. Rite Of Passage - Tumb (4:28) 06. La Danza Moderna - Moments In Time (8:25) 07. La Valse - Winter (3:53) 08....

And so we come to Volume 10. A volume filled with outsiders. Bands that never faced the success of a top 40 listing, but still became known for their music.

Another week past. A very hectic and enerving week. Last Saturday, the 6th of Mai, I visited The Hague. A friend of mine wrote his own book, which he presented that day. We walked the center of the city combining a good glass of beer and a good bite with visits to local record stores. In the last one I was able to score some Dutch New Wave vynil of artists which will be featured on later issues. Since I had hoped to find some vynil of bands, that I didn't find sofar, I decided to order the most wanted albums through discogs on my way back home in the train. They all arrived in the past days and I hope to set up a recording spot later this Saturday in the attic to digitize the vynil in the upcoming days and weeks. I will follow a new procedure which for sure takes some time to get experienced with. Sunday I went to the Ziggo Dome to see Depeche Mode. A great evening, a great band and a great setlist. To be honest the new album has not settled in yet, although I like a s...
