At the time I started writing this, Sabaton were performing in Antwerp and there was a live stream from the stage, with dropouts however. Fans of the band can watch the SABATON Vlogs on YouTube to learn more about The Great Tour 2020. Regarding concerts I just went to the second event, as one of my favourite local bands was…

  • Resumption

    Feel the emptiness. I have not been able to write for 8 months. Not technically, of course. Still things have happened which I would have found worth blogging about. However, as 2019 marked the breakup of my 20-year-long marriage I had to sell the common house and move with Madog to an appartment.

  • the american dollar

    Some time ago I posted an awesome video by the post-rock duo The American Dollar. As I was browsing through their songs on iTunes music store earlier I nearly downloaded their newest album “A Memory Stream” although their self-titled debut album was equally tempting. But then I decided to first take a look at their Myspace website and I was happy to find the possibility there to buy a physical CD bundle for a price…
