Vintage music, rare items

I found this great site. It is still being set up but I am loving it. It sells vintage music. I really have a soft spot for old music and especially tapes and vinyl. So I explored it..

I emailed the site owner and they just started up, they have a huge collection of Dutch, German and English artists and Dutch, German and French prints of the albums. They have started with putting on cassette's but they will also add a huge amount of vinyl in time. They told me it took time to get all photographed and are working hard to get it all online. While they are setting up, buyers can place orders using the contactform and arrangements can be made.



They also have some unique albums and cassette's. For example today they added an old set of two cassettes of the beach boys "The Beach boys story Vol.1 & 2"with a misprint on the cover of vol.2.



An old cassette of "The Rolling stones" and several others. It is my advise to check it out and check back regularly since new items are still added ever day.

 
 

Vintage music get it here!

Are you a good neigbour?

My neighbours are having a party. I hear them talking and I hear the music. Do I complain? No!

In my opinion it is okay to have a party every once and a while. They are good people and I like them to have fun! Too many people these days complain about everything. When the neighbour walks too loud, talks too loud or just sneezes..

Would you like to party every now and then? Then let them and enjoy a year full off hello's and goodbye's instead off angry faces and grunts.

Heat, fainting and festivals

Heat, 40 degrees celcius appeared on the thermometer today. Everywhere it is warm and people are complaining. Is that a Dutch thing to do? It really annoys me. When in summer it rained and it was 15 degrees they were complaining, now it is hot and they are complaining it is too hot... come on.

Festival season has started and today was Decibel, a large festival in the south of the Netherlands. With this heat, drinking and dancing on a festival outside is asking for problems, so there was free water handed out. People in the soccer stadiums were fainting, and benches were half empty..

Wonder what this weather will bring ;)

Vacation, Olympics and weather



Vacation is almost over here, most people have gone to work already and the kids will be going to school next week. Normal life begins and vacation end. The vacation weather, well as mentioned before was not good at all. I feel sorry for the kids whose parents lost their job and could not go on vacation. Here I am complaining about me wanting to go on another holiday, while there are so many that did not go at all. Many people are jobless and could not go on holiday. So I will try to stop complaining about that but please remember that while I am complaining, I still feel for those families!

The olympics are going rather well for the Dutch if I may say so.. Epke Zonderland, the hockeyteams, Ranomi, and well those I forgot!

I am proud we are still in the top of earning medals at the olympics, especially considering our size, I mean be honest The Netherlands is kind of petit ;)

Art, crafts, godess or not?

I have this beautiful statue, which I am so curious about. I have been googling for hours to see where it is made, even what it is made of and cannot find it. I am usually like sherlock Holmes and am able to find what I need within a short amount of time but this artwork is a big question for me.

Can anyone help me?


On the top belongs a platform with (chinese?) dragons engraved. Do not know what it is a pillao put a plant on?

Any help is welcome!

Olympics 2012 - gold rain?

The olympics 2012 are a bit of a dissapointment for the Dutch. So far it has not been raining gold medals, or even medals.. We have some but not as hoped for. Certainly it is not over yet and we still hope for some gold, maybe miss Ranomi Kromowidjojo will have a great swim, she is in topcondition and showed us she is very good. Hope she will make it count and add another medal, hopefully GOLD!!

Just minutes away and we will know!!
