April 2005 recycling

This month I'll start re-posting mp3s from the years 2002-2003 when my site still only got 3 or 4 hits a day. Due to all kinds of digital disasters I don't have a well organized chronological archive of those days. In fact I don't even have all the stuff myself anymore, but still I think we should be able to restore a good 80% of it at random here. If there's anybody out there who happened to have downloaded a lot of Things I used to offer on "splog", I would gladly get into touch with you. Mail me
The music will be removed after about a week, or sometimes less, so grab it while it's hot. Updates will be announced in the splusp group.

	Scruff - Suicide (recording by Splogman) Back for more - Suicide (recording slc studio's Dalfsen) Marije Rommes wrote this song as a teenager and performed it with a friend on the streets of Dutch cities. Later when she was a music student she joined the band Back for More and recorded another version of Suicide. (Name the ten differences) At the moment Marije has earned different academic degrees in music. She now is a professional singer and conducts several choirs. She'll probably kill me next week.
	Stepping Stone Visit - Tequila This is a rehearsal somewhere in july '88 the night before my first performance with The Stepping Stone Visit. One of the rare recordings where you can hear me play the saxophone.
	Voice Box - All my loving In 1992 I joined this choir for one year. This was recorded at the railway station of Amersfoort, one of our surprise performances. Three years ago one of the two conductors of this lot became my boss. There are some people you just can't escape from I guess :-)
	Symmetry in Chaos - Song about Weapons Symmetry in Chaos - Second Song Symmetry in Chaos - For Mom' Two years ago. A collegue of mine celebrated her 50th birthday in one of Zwolle's chiquest restaurants-tea rooms. Naturally the owner didn't mind if her teenage son and his friends would play a song or two during dinner. She "forgot" to say which kind of music her son was in. I must say this music is not really my cup of tea, but I really liked those friendly guys, with their firm anti-war message. Posting these recordings at splogman's world actually got them a few gigs. Now they have their own website and they are looking for a record label to release their new material: Symmetry in Chaos - Flora dismantled

Blue Finger Project
Every july there's a weekly market in Zwolle called the "Blue Finger Market". In 2003 I made a project, The Blue finger project: posting an interesting mp3 taken from a record that I found for one euro or less, each week.

	L'organo Hammond di Dorsey Dodd - St. Louis Blues At my wedding anniversary, one of the guests said that this record opened a new dimension in bad taste for him. Naturally I have to disagree ;-) Is there such thing as "bad" taste, anyway?
	Hot Club 69 - Mrs Robinson From the third album of a dutch imitation of Hot Club de France. Guitar: Benny Ludemann, Ernesto Le Grande - Bass: Jean Vau - Violin: Jossche Monitzs - Lead guitar: Hans van Leeuwen
	Pietje Patent - Kattebakpoepie Ultimate Dutch cheapness: "Let your cat shit on a little box with sand."
	Sergio Mendes & Brasil 69 - Daytripper

	Idols avant la lettre 1. Patty en de Big Silver Bull Band - Patapoe 2a. Patty en de Big Silver Bull Band - I am young 2b. Patty en de Big Silver Bull Band - Sound of the river According to the record sleeve Marion Biesthorst had won the who-will-be-the-real-Patty-competition by the girl's magazine Tina. I had a lot of response on this one and the research for a Tina Records special is still going. At the moment I can tell this much: the creators of the comic "Patty" were never asked permission for these Patty records, nor did they get any credit ...
	A corporate single 1. Harry Vooren - Schubert: Impromptu in Ges op.90 no.3 2. Liesbeth List - Gibert Bécaud: "Va-t'en-loin" The office facilities company Blikman & Sartorius offered a free single, vinyl or flexidisc to their costumers each year as a musical compensation for their unromantic efficiency.
	A field recording Marjolein Goedhart - Medley A musical encounter at a computer forum meeting in Almere. The intention was for Marjolein to team up with other musical members of the forum. The little Tessa and I turned out to be the only ones. The rest was just discussing operating systems and playing games.
	Two singles De jonge Flierefluiters - Een zwoele zotte zomer "Here comes a sweet and silly summer, just like the old days." De Westendzangertjes - Dubbele Jan Boys choir conducted by Brother Romatius: "Jan, Jan the Double One, where did you go? Without you there will be no kermis!"
	Two songs from the EP Koempoelan 1959. (A Koempoelan is a festivity for Catholic boy scouts.) Marcel Thielemans - Als de honden apporteren ("Even dogs get better treatment than niggers..." Marcel Thielemans - Il est çi, elle est ça (just a cheerfull silly lovesong) A flexi disc Herman Stok - De Jaren Zestig Herman Stok (wellknown presentator on dutch radio and TV in the sixties) promotes a series of albums with "pop music of the sixties". Some of you might be surprised of what he calls typical highlights in the mentioned genre.
