I agree. Try and find 'De Jordaan' (The Jordan), it's a great neighbourhood. Also be sure to go to the Zeedijk (near the central station) and have a look into the Panama bar. If they have live music on you'll be laughin' your arse off. It'll be in Dutch but you will appreciate the crappy corny-ness of it... And ooh go for a chinese at Nam-Kee, also at the zeedijk. It's the only place that sells genuine chinese food (you can tell by the clientele) and it's brilliant. If the weather is good go and have a pint in the sunshine on the Nieuwmarkt. For a good shopping experience go to the Waterlooplein. Great for (second-hand) BRILLIANT clothing. Off course, you WILL be going to the Paradiso. If you don't you haven't been to Amsterdam...!!!!

This whole thread has been an entertaining read for me, being a dutchmen and all... Have a good time and say hi to my friends in amsterdam!

Think I know you a bit by now... my guess is it probably went really well!! Have you got a tape of the tv show? Would be cool to watch! Have a good weekend Alan!

Yeah well, a cd... Did he ever get you a proper one with sound on it?

Thanks for the tip! Knowing your taste it'll be ace

No way! I am DEFINITELY a fan... Love his stuff, got to know it through his collaboration with ry cooder. Will be missed.

Nah, she's lying. She's never been in a band! I did have a chance to listen when the site was still looking and it sounded ace! See you tonight maybe?

I'm not a skater myself, but I hung out at the http://www.colosseum.nl/ back home. Aberdeen should have one as well. Maybe some skaters should come together, see how these guys did it, and do a similar thing here? (They got cheap rent on the building, was empty anyway, + subsidized by council, built ramps themselves, run it themselves). I bet these guys would be up for helping, maybe even come over. I think it would work really well here. Anyway, just a thought, sorry. PM me for further info or translating. J.

You know I'd normally be there, but money is definitely an issue for me at the moment. Not going out a lot at the moment. Even though the charge isn't that high (and it's definitely worth it!), it will also mean spending money on drinks... Also, I think the calendar you had with Drakes' was great, I could just have a look what was going to be on if I felt like going out. But you know what I want with calendars and stuff like that. I am still definitely planning to do something about that, so if you are still up for teaming up for that, let me know!

indeed... only in aberdeen...

To cause to be intoxicated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Middle English, attested in pseudo-Latin fuccant, (they) fuck, deciphered from gxddbov.] Word History: The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, Flen flyys, from the first words of its opening line, Flen, flyys, and freris, that is, fleas, flies, and friars. The line that contains fuck reads Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk. The Latin words Non sunt in coeli, quia, mean they [the friars] are not in heaven, since. The code gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli. The whole thus reads in translation: They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge].

Has anyone ever bothered looking op NEUK in a Dutch to English dictionary....? Question number two: If the East Neuk does t-shirts I (as a dutchman) want one...

Last Night: Dinner at dad's - had good fun looking at all the newspaper clippings about his musical- and mindblowing experiences, only closed jaw with great difficulty after loads of namedropping (Zappa, John Mayall, Rod Stewart, etc). Oops, that's what I'm doing now;) Today: Lie in, the net, and tonight off to De Spieghel for a good couple of pints and then probably to De Kar for a couple of hours of dancing. Tomorrow: Surviving the inlaws while hungover............................................

You know what I'd like? A dancing audience! I've got some stuff on my mind, but will wisper it in your fluffy ears when we two next meet...

It's not the Dutch, I can vouch for that...

Y'all don't know how lucky you are with the musicscene you have...

I am up for some serious funkadelicatessen! The Guitar is my mind's weapon...

I'm using N-track, (freeware download) and although I'd never ever do it of course [cough-cough], there's a crack available so you don't get the annoying beeps in the end result....

Here's the Belgian review: "Close your eyes, gently", sung soothingly by the Kitchen cynics, aka Alan Davidson in Ask Me No Questions, a Bridget St. John cover. All too willingly we comply with this request, and slowly we drift into a world of psychedelic lo-fi folksongs, containing echoes of Pearls before swines and Syd Barrett. Davidson creates an innocent world, which tries to woo us with melodious acoustic guitar melodies and enchanting flutes. They flow from his pen as the mountain brooks from the Scottish Highlands. The naivety that these songs sometimes seem to exude, hide melancholic musings, cast in beautiful poetic lyrics like Snowflakes, Oatcakes and Earthquakes. Everything is played and recorded by Alan Davidson at his home, except the song Dialogue, on which he is accompanied by Simon and Carla Lewis. Over the years, Kitchen Cynics has brought out an impressive number of releases. The largest part of these is on cassettes and cd-rs, but there are also official releases on labels like Secret Eye. Compulsive Songwriting Disorder offers a fascinating view into the mind of this Scottish bard." By the way: THE LUNCHTIME SHOW AT THE TUNNELS WAS AWESOME! [gets down on knees and does 'the Wayne and Garth': "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"]

I'm Dutch, is that good enough for you? Why don't I translate both Belgian (Dutch) articles and post it back here... I'm unemployed now anyway. Give me a sec...
