Februari 2015: So I had been looking to replace my in-ears with something new because the cable was getting worse and worse. I was getting used to my 50 euro in-ears breaking down at roughly two years of age; I had gone to like three or four pairs in the past six years. But this […]

To which albums do I keep coming back?
While driving I’ve been listening to an MP-CD I burned when I was about 17. It was a full blown trip down memory lane and I still love most of the albums on this MP3-CD! Muse – Origin of Symmetry Heard this album first when I was about 15 and I think it’s the best Muse […]

Like most 15 year olds, I considered classical music something for old and boring people. Little did I know! The clarinet concerto started to grow on me and my mother […]
Agalloch in New York
Het Agalloch concert in New York was in de leukste wijk, Greenwich Village, in een kleine venue met de uiterst curieuze naam Le Poisson Rouge.

In trance with Wolves
I could barely remember when I went to a metal gig for the last time. That was bad! The last time I went to a metal gig, the same band played: Wolves In The Throne Room. It was way back in May, and they played in Utrecht. This time the American post-eco-black metal-whatever you want […]
