Some pictures from the past week


I went to see The Chelsea Smiles with Magnus at Winston... Todd Youth and his boys entertained and it was a great gig. Such a sad thing that only 30 people came to see this rock'n'roll experience... Shape up Amsterdamers!!!

    FUCK and Appel and Powerfest

    Yesterday saw the opening of Jonas Ohlsson new gallery project FUCK in his livingroom in Bijlmer (Amsterdam suburb). There was free beer, great art, lot's of people and neighbours with more parties. De Appel had a barbie-que which I dumped for the Powerfest at Melkweg. Saw Sparta, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Kid down etc. and I just have to say Sparta was kicking ass. Below some images from yesterday. Tonight I'll be at Winston to check out Chelsea Smiles outta LA.

    Heart Shaped Box

    Just a new book tip for all you reading fans out there.... Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box

    Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals . . . a used hangman's noose . . . a snuff film. An aging death-metal rock god, his taste for the unnatural is as widely known to his legions of fans as the notorious excesses of his youth. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his latest discovery, an item for sale on the Internet, a thing so terribly strange, Jude can't help but reach for his wallet.

    I will "sell" my stepfather's ghost to the highest bidder. . . .

    For a thousand dollars, Jude will become the proud owner of a dead man's suit, said to be haunted by a restless spirit. He isn't afraid. He has spent a lifetime coping with ghosts—of an abusive father, of the lovers he callously abandoned, of the bandmates he betrayed. What's one more?

    But what UPS delivers to his door in a black heart-shaped box is no imaginary or metaphorical ghost, no benign conversation piece. It's the real thing.

    And suddenly the suit's previous owner is everywhere: behind the bedroom door . . . seated in Jude's restored vintage Mustang . . . standing outside his window . . . staring out from his widescreen TV. Waiting—with a gleaming razor blade on a chain dangling from one bony hand. . . .

    A multiple-award winner for his short fiction, author Joe Hill immediately vaults into the top echelon of dark fantasists with a blood-chilling roller-coaster ride of a novel, a masterwork brimming with relentless thrills and acid terror.
