oranje-kroon

A national disaster has struck our country. It’s trending topping on the net and on TV and in the newspapers they report about nothing else. No, we haven’t gone bankrupt, there has not been a major flood or a terrorist attack – although opinions differ on this. The disaster is the song that was written [...]

Theme Park – Theme Park

theme-park-theme-park

Okay, so it’s a bit of a disappointment to me too, but to rate Theme Park’s debut album 3 out 10, as  NME does, is just unfair. The expectations were raised too high and based on what?

Metronomy – The English Riviera

Metronomy-The-English-Riviera-melt

With retroactive effect Metronomy’s second album Nights Outs (2008) has conquered a spot in my top 10 album list of the 00s. I don’t know why I failed to appreciate the playful combination of clever song-writing and retro-hip synthpop at the time. The important thing is that I’m on top of things now, just lagging [...]
