Visit Anno-Expo 58, Saturday 9 august 2008, Mechelen
As a50’s freak, this exposition is an ideal opportunity to get the feel of that time. Sometimes you wonder why so many young folks grasp back to this period. I think it has something to do about the romantic feel it all has.
Once you enter the Lamot site, on the top floor you get a survey of the construction of the pavilions of the participating country’s of the world fair in 1958. You need to have some interest in architecture. For me a bit too technical, but very fascinating. The lower floors are constructed as a building site, this is done on purpose, to emphasize to major building plans Mechelen had at that time. Many of the old buildings ... continue reading

Seatsniffers 02-08-2008 @ Merksplas Feest
One of the advantages of living in Belgium is that all summer long there are free
concerts in parks and on town squares, which is an ideal way to check out new bands
or bands that you hesitate to pay a lotta money for. Plus you not only get the
chance to discover new talent, but you can see many established bands as well. I
mean : this weekend The Seatsniffers play at the Hot Rod Hayride in the UK,
tonight you could see 'em for free on the market square of Merksplas, a town most
famous for its jail ! It took the stage crew a while to get the front boxes working
properly (they seemed to turn off and on at their own ... continue reading

PRINCE Charles invited erotic dancer Dita Von Teese
PRINCE Charles invited erotic dancer Dita Von Teese to dance at son Prince Harry's birthday party - without realising the raunchy nature of the porcelain star's routine.
The heir-to-the-throne met the gothic flasher at the Cartier International Polo Tournament at the Guards Club in Windsor, England.
Charmed by her alabaster assets, he asked what she did for a living and Dita, 35, replied: “I’m a dancer.” That's when Charles invited her to perform at Prince Harry’s 24th birthday.
A source told the UK's Daily Star newspaper: “Poor Charles was so embarrassed when he realised what he’d done. He genuinely had no idea about ... continue reading

House of rock
ST. LOUIS — The Guitar King's old home may not be palatial, but it could
soon be historic.
A local preservation group is working to put a house once owned by Chuck
Berry — the St. Louis native considered by many the father of rock 'n' roll
— on the National Register of Historic Places.
The shotgun-style cottage at 3137 Whittier Street is no Graceland. It
features a simple white awning against sturdy red brick and a narrow porch.
The original fixtures were stripped long ago. At the moment, it's
unoccupied, a victim of rising foreclosure rates long after Berry sold it.
It was, however, Berry's ... continue reading

Dave Alvin, John Doe, Peter Case, Big Sandy and more perform at the Dog & Pony Show
benefit festival, Aug 30, 31 and Sept 1
Dear friends, fans and everyone else:
I’d like to let you know about a 3 day benefit called the Dog & Pony Show that some
close friends and I have put together for this coming Labor Day weekend, Aug 30, 31
and Sept 1.
The past year has been very hard health wise for many members of the California
music scene. Four friends/musicians of ours (western soul singer Chris Gaffney,
superb guitarist Duane Jarvis, blues diva Candye Kane, psycho-billy hot-rodder Drac
Conley) were all diagnosed with different forms of cancer and need our help to deal
the expense of their various treatments. Instead of putting on ... continue reading

Chuck Berry is A-OK, despite reports
Chuck Berry news headlines flew wildly Tuesday, from “Chuck Berry skips sold out concerts in Spain” offered by ABC News, to a simple “Not Well” from none other than blog king Perez Hilton.
The reports said that during his European tour, Berry skipped a pair of weekend concerts in Spain just before show time. His agent reportedly called concert promoters to tell them Berry left the country.
Berry was said to be paid for the concerts, and legal action is under consideration.
Though no explanation was given, speculation was the 81-year-old Berry was ill.
Joe Edwards, Berry’s longtime friend and frequent spokesperson, ... continue reading
