januari 30th, de kring/club up, amsterdam. sales at 21 party at 23.
Just because photographer Christiane Feser makes ’in a way’ impressive portraits. This serie is named ‘Faces’ and I can’t stop questioning myself what’s… or if there’s anything wrong with these photo’s….. hmm.
Just because YoungWorks tells us about the trends for 2010. It’s funny because number 1 is something i’ve been thinking about lately. Infobesitas, or….information junkies. Trough tv, internet or mobile, being online 24/7. So are we bored then that we put so much time and energy in being online and search for (new) information? No. So are we trully interested then? No. It’s, as YoungWorks tell us, just the addiction and above all, the feeling to miss someting out.
Nice food for thoughts….so read the YoungWorks_Trendport_Top10_van_2010.
Note: if you are then searchting for information…..take the time to listen to the clear words of our queen :)

Just because The Molotovs makes us remember Arctic Monkeys, are from London and are willing to introduce themselves;
“All but one of us met at a large and wearing party in Oxford, the sort which goes on far too long, ceases to be a party, and instead becomes an endurance test. To pass the time, we picked up instruments and played for a couple months, enjoyed ourselves, then played more when the party finally came to an end. “
As well they released their first 6 track-mini-album named ‘AND THE HEADS DID ROLL’. Oeh, and they perform februari 4th at Paradiso
