OSCAR
Last year when I was in Holland I ran into an old buddy of mine, Oscar, and he gave me a few cd's of his home made music. Now, you never know what to expect, but I knew that Oscar is a very fine musician and has been a very fine musician for many, many years. As you can hear, Neil Young and Bob Dylan are some of his influences and somehow I hear a bit of The Legendary Pinkdots in there too, really, wonderful music, all intruments and the vocals done by Oscar....
Oscar, buddy, this one's for you!

LES PAUL & MARY FORD 78's
Here are four INCREDIBLE 78's from the great Les Paul and Mary Ford, amazing stuff.... I recorded this first on wavelab, then tried to find the right speed with Fruity Loops, it;s easy when there's singing but it can be pretty hard with instrumentals so I hope I've got the speed right.... Personally, Les Paul blows my mind! Got my hands on a whole bunch of 78's, stuff from the 30's and 40's by Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Shore, Artie Shaw, Lionel Hampton, Count Basie and a whole lot of Indonesian ones. Will post those soon too!!!

KIEM
Kiem was a Dutch band from my city of birth, Rotterdam, active from 1982 till 1987. I don't know how many times I've seen them live, quiet a few times and they were always great live. The members were Huub Kentie – Synthesizers & Vocals, Ger ‘Sax’ van Voorden – Tenor Saxophone and the incredible Cees ‘IJzermans’ Meurs who played drums on a drum kit that was made out of all kinds of pieces of metal. I saw Cees once live, playing together with Dutch jazz drummer Han Bennink and there are just no words to describe how great a performance that was.... Ger van Voorden later left the band and was replaced by Jos Valster....
Way back I had a friend, John, who always went with them on tour as a roadie and he would always come back with the wildest stories, those guys were always touring all over Europe, specially Italy where they had quiet a following....
Here's their website: kiemrotterdam.nl
They put out three albums and I'll upload 'em, not my rips though....
