No point

Saturday, 7 February 2009

A story has to have a point. I know the temptation of just rambling along without really having anything to say. Whenever I read somebody else doing that in a blog, I tell myself never to do that! But there are always exceptions to the rules, and today I have nothing special to say and I feel like just rambling along.
I get some nice reactions on the various Kladblog pages that I have shown here and there in this Soundtrack or send to people in other ways. Some people have difficulties reading the texts because some of it is upside down. But that is also what others like about it. Like Aris, who wrote:
” Bijgaand jouw kladblog op mijn Blackberry, helaas een onscherpe foto maar het leuke is dat ik jouw kladblog zonder problemen kan lezen, ik draai gewoon mijn telefoontje om. Ik vind dit echt heel erg leuk. Dus voortaan alle schrijfrichtingen gebruiken graag!”

Since last week I know how to make PDF files, and that seems a nice format to publish some of my Kladblog pages. But I don’t know; I better sleep another few months over it.
Ruud Hulleman (who is still working hard on his great Talblog ) send me a link to Bizarre Records, that might be worth visiting if you don’t already have it in your Favourites.
I had a dear cassette tape with some highlights from De Brom &Ruis Show. That was a part of Raufaser, a KRO-radio program that was broadcasted weekly in the eighties. You could order that tape, and as far as I know that was the only tape. My son ruined turned the tape into what in Germany is called ”Bandsalat”.

Recently I discovered that the makers of Raufaser have made two mp3-CD’s with all the programs! But in a limited edition, only meant for the people that had to do with the show. I mailed to the guys and begged them to sell me those CD’s, but they didn’t want to make extra copies for me. Stupid: in the end everything turns up anyhow, so why not give it while people want to have it? This is so past century thinking. So, if you happen to have these mp3’s, please let me know what you want me to do to get a copy!
And finally, here is a 45 that I now have a mint copy of:

The A-side is a nice disco hiy by Patricia Paay, but it is the B-side that I was after. It is an instrumental composition by Jaap Eggermont, called ”Heavy disco”. Nothing special, but a song that is part of the Soundtrack of my life. Or, better said, part of the period when I began to discover that there was music on the B-sides of my 45’s too.
