the daily life

Well, it’s been a while. I’ve been extremely busy at my new job and haven’t really had the time nor the motivation to write something new. But it’s Saturday evening and after having been out yesterday it’s a good time to relax and catch up on the weeks series and a bit of rugby.
Friday was great as well as I’ve finally managed to go and check out the Chilli Club. The Sushi is amazing.
Went to Baalsaal after that which was great as well. At least if you like electronic music. Which I do.

destroying property

A random story that I thought I might share. It also concerns Graham Fink (CD at M&C Saatchi, London) and a rather awkward book crit I had about two years ago.
First off, I was pretty nervous. After all, he is one of the most well-known creatives in London and commands a great deal of respect.
Having never seen or spoken to him before I didn’t know what to expect. We (my partner back then and I) waited patiently in the foyer and were called up when he was ready.
His office is one of those typical glass cubicals with a nice view you’d expect from a Creative Director of a large agency. The desk was cluttered as was pretty much everything else in his office. On one side stood a large bookcase reaching up to the ceiling.
The first thing I noticed was, that there weren’t any annuals or any other books related to advertising as far as I could tell. Lots of books on photography, film, art and so forth.
He greeted us kindly, shook our hands and asked for us to come in and have a seat. There were two chairs. The one, which my partner sat on, was a conference room chair and I sat down in a director chair.
Not just any director chair. HIS director chair. You see, Graham Fink also directed many spots as well as music videos and a BAFTA shortlisted film.
After short introductions from us both I felt a little more at ease and decided to lean back a little.
SNAP.
One of the beams on the backrest snapped at the joint. At this point I believe I should mention that I weigh about 70kg at 1.85cm. Not a lot. Graham, I guess, measures at least 1.92. Don’t ask me how but that bloody chair broke.
The silence was deafening.
The only thing I was able to utter was an apology and that it could be fixed with wood glue. I don’t think he really cared about either.

8bit hero

Someone actually put some effort into ‘downgrading’ Guitar Hero for the Nintendo NES. Unbelievably retro and actually really cool.

liveset february 2009

This set came in early. Normally I release livesets during the middle of a month.
I think having them come out on the 1st or 2nd is better.
This set has quite a few percussive influences. They were gone for a while and I’m glad producers are bringing them back.
Anyway… enjoy

trust me

A new show from the creators of Nip/Tuck. It’s about advertising. But instead of it being set in the golden age like Mad Men, which frankly I got bored of after 4 episodes, it’s based in the present.
Maybe it’ll be more interesting. Here’s the official site.

great stuff on tv

This is a website I visit regularly. It’s great for finding links to watch TV shows online.
Most will probably know it already… it’s just a reminder.

january liveset

It’s January and about time I’ve recorded a new liveset. It’s available here.

punching out for the year

I’ve finally arrived in Beijing yesterday after two weeks of stress and hard work. It feels good.
China always is this place where I leave all my worries behind. After all, it is on the other side of the world.

the good ol’ days

I loved Lego when I was a kid. Still do.
Hated doing everything according to plan though. Always created my own designs. Unfortunately if I were to play with Lego now it would seem a little strange.
So I’m really glad that the guys from Sweden came up with the Lego Digital Designer. It ties in with the online site. Essentially you can create your own designs, check out the price and order it. Also comes with packaging. Great! The software is available for PC and Mac. Even better.
Although I got a little bored after a while I still think it’s a great idea and shows that we live in a user generated content world.
