11:52 pm - Boys we were, but nice boys. If I say so myself
|
On my way home from work I was reading some intellectual magazine and in there I read a couple of articles. One was about Gerard Reve, about letters he wrote when he was 27 (Gerard Reve is one of the Great Three of post-WWII Dutch literature); he wrote his first (and best if you ask me (and many people)) when he was 23 or 24. Then I read an article about a 27 year old guy in NYC who writes operas and stuff for Björk and whatnot.
Do these people exist, here and now, in Amsterdam 2009? 20-somethings who will make an impact in literature, art or music? If there are, where are they, if there aren't, why aren't they? Maybe they're here and I just don't know.
I guess I am just wondering where the Titaantjes are at?

5:55 pm - A song in different languages
|
So apparently this is at least two years old, but I am loving this song
The girls has such a nice voice and she sings in Frisian (she even covered Hallelujah in Frisian!). And the guys are from the south, and I love them, maybe because one of the frontmen plays the accordion which is such a silly instrument.
Anyway, she sings in Frisian, and he sings in a southern accent from Northen-Limburg (I think). It's cool, even though I don't really know what she says because Frisian is a whacky language. but I love it.
