A Blast From The Past: Working Week - Venceremos

Ooohw.. Man, that’s a very long time ago.. You younguns wouldn’t remember this stuff, I mean it’s from when the Berlin Wall was still standing..  ;)


Don’t know a lot about the band Working Week, but I do know that I was totally in love with this song, the video and the pure dance energy that comes from both.

Here’s a great live version with vocalist extraodinaire Tracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl

Wow, another nostalgia attack:


Antarctica 2005 - Preparations and such (4)

What preparations? Man, I still gotta get all the gear necessary for the vacation: gloves, jacket, rubber boots, extra set of gloves, longjohn underwear, sun tan (factor Gazillion, can you believe that shit?), waterproof overpants thingies (raingear), sun glasses (another of those things that happen to other people), snow cap/hat thing to keep the head and the ears a bit protected..

I mean, what the hell is a black (Afro-Caribbean) man doing, hauling his butt to The South Pole Continent?!? What was I thinking, could’ve been on some warm and lovely paradise beach on the tropical Asian continent (not Cronulla, of course..).
In stead I’m gonna freeze my tush with some penguins, possibly some whales and other wildlife, with icebergs and a six month daylight period and.. well.. I guess, I remember now why I’m going to that place ;o)

And maybe, secretly, I’ve always liked the cold..
Me in Holland 69/70
Ah.. Innocence lost..
(My parents still wonder where this cute kid disappeared to..)

Next item of preparation: what music to bring along on my MP3 player.. An Antarctic Playlist, wow..
