NEXT PLAN THE HIVES->AB BRUSSELS 29/10/2004

THE REVIEW:

Innocent - Herdersem/Parochiezaal - 23/10/2003
Yes, like all famous bands you have to start somewhere and "Innocent" that the best way to start their carreer is in the Parochiezaal in Herdersem.
Anyway it was crowed and the "in-crowd" of Herdersem and Gijzegem and even further got there.
So that was a good start as was their very nice and spacey intro. Yes the expectations began to rise. The PA was a bit sloppy at first, bass line had to be a wee bit up, but that isn't something the band could prevent. Anyway they played a few of their own material which was very interesting and Randy Warhol would adivise them to stay in that direction, because they sound the most sincere and most powerful. So they were something original something you don't really have with modern pop music. (and by saying pop music Mr. Warhol widens it up to "rock" music aswell)
Anyway they shouldn't touch the garage rock stuff too much. 7 Nation Army owk that was reasonable but no C'mon C'mon anymore, I know they were just showing they had good taste and wide spectrum of influences but by Jove really it isn't their thing, it doesn't sound like real at all. As an ex-muse fan they really showed me why I used to love them and well may be still do. And if they want to show they got fantastic taste they just should play Debaser! Chien Andalousia..............
There were several guest appereances during the show one of Sarah with a very clean version of RHCP's "Californication" and of Leafflowergirl during 3 songs. And one of them was street spirit which is hard to cover because it has been covered so much (n'est pas Micheal?), but it was fine.
Well during the encores the charming Dorien something asked the audience if anyone ever wonderd who AC/DC would sound like if they had a female singer. I shouted no but anyway I had a blast with their version of "HighWay to Hell." It wasn't always very tight, but it was fun and people enjoyed it and for a beginning band, that is all that you could ask.
So thank you Train Girl for a wonderful experience.

Highlight:
Pixies - Debaser
On a scare from 1 to ten where 1 is equal to the moustache of the bass player of the darkness and 10 is the moustache of the bass player of the hives
I would give it a 8,5 just because deserve every point of it. But still could do better. (so that would be the moustache of which bass player?)

I smell survival sickness

Yes, it is been a hectic week for me already. Anyway and anyhow yesterday was fun and relaxing. Went to Antwerp and got hooked up with Rick De Leeuw(ex-Tröckener Kecks. ) en Jan Houtekiet, and then I heared their version of a "Perfect Day". (thank you mr. B) Which was at first sucked but then got expirmental so yay. Yes it was a very fine day of Antwerp for me. HOPLA forever and I can still hear them shouting.

Then I went to see these crazy new band called "innocent". Ow Yes the next review is going to be hard for me. Because "innocent" isn't a new band for me. It has got Train Girl in it. so i'm gonna write it another time

I never asked you to...

For those who care. I'm alright and thank you for asking. For those who didn't care. I'm alright and thank you for not asking it. And for those who don't give a jot about it. Make up bloody mind!

So what are you doing?
Well, I'm starting a new conceptual punkrock band. Yes, very interesting, indeed! The name of our group of musicians is Y.O.U. S.U.C.K. and actually we're more of a duo. Lead-guitar is done by the almighty L. Tombeur and I do the vocal arrangements and the rythm-guitar. We've realised that most of the modern pop bands like the strokes, the YYY's and so many others are having a nice rythm and well structured songs. Owk we were fed up with that we make punk in it is most absurd and ridicule form of existance.

So far we made one song, entiteld: YOU BASTARDS. And it is about the burial of Ceasar and people getting a wee bit over excited and burning down the whole forum in ROME.

MORE NEWS SOON

This going on for a while

Wacky ADVENTURES:
Mr. Warhol has got a new plan: Look for people who make society a better place and help them. Yes it may sound bizarre, perhaps it bizarre. Anyway there where a few ideas that crossed my mind.
1) Throw over society: Regarding to earlier acts in the past of students who wanted to get ride off this dull society. People don't tend to agree with the idea that society is evil and bad. Little do they know! So much for idea one then!

2)Make a new party and take control over the government: Try to make a fasco party:
1) Deny the holocaust (but not in public you might get sued for that! ask LePen)
2)Blame Immigrants. Yes even if it is raining blame it on the immigrants. Why should you use immigrants? Coz they are a minorty group so easy to exploit. Immigrants already have the problem to unite in big groups coz not all immigrants can speak a mutual language. Yes they are the scum of the earth. Just because a dog poo'd right before you're house. And they are a perfect susbstituet for the jews. We'll get them later.
3)Yes all what is red must be dead. Don't xpt to have many opposition of the so called anarchist, situationist or communist. No they always forget to unite too. They always go hard on their themself first before they start with us.
4)We own the capitalistic society, as crazy right winged politician, you can count on the support of the rich because they want to stay rich and you'll just have to protect them. Yes even major firms will sponsor you.
5)Once you're in control try to stay in control and don't let you're collegue dictator try to take control over you. But do that in subtle way. A very subtle way. Like Hitler did with Mussolini. Ow wait that wasn't so subtle at all.

But because I really hate (yes hate is a feeling we all feel and it is as good or bad as anyother) fasco's. So I'm not gonna start an evil fasco party. And if I hear you saying try to do it with a left one. Well let's say the left is a wee bit too much divided.

So I'm gonna spend a day at the OXFAM shop in Brugges. Yes, I know it is a very naieve plan. LOL No, it is going to be with my friend Hannah. Yes she auditiend for part of the "holy" Maria but she was too HOLY. So I have to make a full rapport what I saw and did that day. Let's hope that I'll be or 8.

Anyway:
Miss Streepje and I went are going to Antwerp next satz. The Exciting! Yes, Miss Streepje is really getting into her part. She even striped her hair, and it is very nice. Ow which reminds me to call for my Hives tickets again.

And no Laureline I didn't forget your Birthday. Here is the proof. So I wish you all the best and all the joy, presents, usuall stuff and more to you. And I hope you finally got my Auf Der Maur thingie. But I don't think so. let's just blaim the french/Belgain post service!

And yes it is been a long time since i last planted a link in here so. This for all you Ween and Tom Waits fans. Yes, You too flowerleafgirl a MASH UP MUHAHHAHAHHAHAHA. http://www.howardhallis.com/mash/weenwaits.mp3

That is all for now. and don't forget to love one another.

Day 3 of the NicOTIne
The anger has switched places with pure frustration. Aaawww. But still no ciggie for me. I'm still trying to understand that smoking is bad. Maybe when I pass that stage, I'll be able to not be so frustrated anymore. Maybe.

Anyway life is just that tiny bit more than just stopping this bad habbit, which some humans call smoking. Now life is about the little things. Like listing to other peoples frustrations and thinking what might happen if they finally abolish work, school and other things man created for no use.
Yes, today was just a typical day ful with the usually depressive details. And if they find this blog in 2000 years of time and they wonder what mankind hated in the early 21th century. Well one thing is the narrow mindedness of people. Yes, people really need to widen their opinion a bit. Like for instance it is not because you don't like any president that United States ever had that you aren't allowed to like New York. Yes, I do have bizzare discussions.

I also read Freud today. One sick bastard. I mean people often say that about Freud when they talk about the Oedipuscomplex, but that is just phase 1. Then you still have to phase you oral and anal phase. Ow and you have to do that twice.
SICKIE... thank god modern sciences don't believe in him anymore... Or maybe we're all just a bunch of sad bastards what would explain alot.

this one wasn't for the intellectuals

the van Jets
the Datsuns
AB 8/10/2004

Mr. Warhol doesn't have the tendency to be really early at concerts. But Miss Devilin and the singer of the Chocolate Pancakes have got that tendency. So we met up at check point Candyshop at 6 pm. So we arrived 2 hours to early. Anyway we went in some night-shop, they already open at 6 nowadays, to get a beer, first the singer of the Chocolate Pancakes got a Maes but with all means that isn't a beer it is water that tasts funny. So changed it quickly to something else.
Anyway the show!

The Van Jets had to play a 30 minute set. And before you could realise it was over. They hit the crowd with their most "famous" songs like Killerqueen, Sister and Ricochet. But the audience just forgot who to react. Ow they did, when they said: 'have fun with the datsuns, this is our last song'.
Mich, the drummer from the Van Jets, told Mr. Warhol that Killerqueen or Ricochet is going to be released as new single in November. So that is a good scoop isn't it.(the entire set list will be added later, but I'm too lazy to go and look for it)

Then came the Datsuns. They read the NME well this week, how to be a cool rock band. Drink Jack & D, get a guitarist to go crowdsurfing, throw those drumsticks in the crowd or jst hand them over to those people on the front row (yes, that is a good thing), ... anyway whatever a setereo type rock band should do for the rock'n'roll night of fun they did. And the audience loved every bit of it. They even asked the crowd twice what to play. (The requests were-hoochie mamma and Freeze Sucker, but they were gonna play that one inevabitly). Ow and we had more encores then we had a real set. During the first encore we had 5 songs. But that was because Dolf asked the audience do you want 3 or 5 songs and he accidently stook 5 fingers up when he said 4. And we got 2 more songs and they ended with "Good Night now ladies and Gentlemen".
The real set was cliché like but who cared anyway. People just came to have a good time. It was normal Datsuns show. Loud guitars, ac-dc riffs mixed with Status Quo looks and sometimes a bit of humor, Dolf said he dedicate the next song to all the intellectuals out there in the room before rushing into an energetic MF from hell varation, and some good break downs.
Highlight: the 8 minute version of fink for the man
on a scale from 1-10 where one is equal to making songs with Jessica Simpson and 10 is making songs about Jessica Simpson like Adam Green did. I would give it an 8.5/10 the but add another half point for the drumstick.

The Nicotine Diary
day 1

I'm gonna give up smoking. Yes I read that same NME, and smoking wasn't in it. So I better stop then. Or maybe there isn't just well for my health and I'm giving my money away to some evil corps I hate, and I really need that money.
Where was the turning point? Yesterday I was in some creepy bar and I was coming to the fact that I did some messy things last week and frustrated I wanted to take another toe-rag but miss Devilin asked if I wouldn't take one. And I didn't on my way back home I realised that if I can resist to smoking once I could do it all the time. So I that is the end of the smoking chapter. So does Mr Warhol suffer any post-nicotine addiction symptons. Just being a bit cranky, but that just could be normal. And for the record I'm stopping with out of the aid of stickers, chewing gums, or what so ever. I'm gonna to battle the monkey that controls my mind and win this battle against it. They say the first three days are really hard. Day one is almost done so.

If you get what you want


Last couple of weeks have been rather hectic, but never the less so cool you can sink the titanic with it. Didn't make much sense did it. So I am a MAN. With A PLAN.
PLAN: Going to the Datsuns and the Van Jets
Location: AB, Brussels
Objective: See bands, (Mr Warhol sounds like a retard now)
erhm it is already gonna be 4th Datsuns concert. Not that I am such an enermous Datsuns fan but they just seem to be where ever I'm going.

Anyway, something that has been bothering for a long time. I have got a shitty blog. Really I do. In comparison with other blog this one isn't that good at all. But it is just the lay out-thing. But if any of you WebMonkies know what I should do to help it then please help me. Don't really know how your gonna contact me. But go and rescue me webmonkies.

Don't you know what people in bars do

well for all you youngster who are curious how I came in contact with the polish grindcore folks, i'm gonna explain it straight away.
Yer Annelies and Randy were walking down the city when suddenly a tourcar*no not a reall tourbus rather a tourvan* stopped and they asked directions. They wanted to know where the Sint Martinus Place was. And as being a friendly person I told them but they didn't understand it so I jumped in the car next to the driver and they translated it for him. We went straight over the Grand Place. Where normally no cars are allowed to drive. And stopped right in front of the venue. then they invited me and thanked me.


ANyWay TodAY
Had planned to do a cover of YYY/NNN but it didn't work out at all. It was pure piss. Didn't work for a minute. It was dull and boring. The main problem was a genre conflict between spacey and metal. You can guess which genre I defended. So I walked out on that.


OW dear I can't wait for 2morrow
