I'm one of them

Yeah, I have a myspace now. I know I said myspace sucked huge gay cock, and I'm still saying that, but it's actually kinda nice too. It's a nice sucking, okay?

Anyway, visit Billy, leave him a message, listen to the most beautiful music ever created, whatever you think is right.

Paris Hilton is a slut

I now realise that calling Paris Hilton a slut is the purest form of all semantic pleonasms, but for the heck of it, let's just say the redundancy emphasizes the fact that she's a slut and that the title is also kinda meant to deceive you. If I were to call this post "I like some of Paris Hilton's song on her album" you'd want to...well, not read it and gay bash me.

So yeah, Paris' voice sometimes hardly ever doesn't sound like nails on a chalk board and is always devoid of any emotion whatsoever - well, except for "whiny" if that were an emotion - but seriously, it's not all crap. And I mean that purely objectively: there are some good productions on her album which do not induce an immediate desire to drive a stake through my heart. Not to kill though, but to shift the pain.

This all doesn't take away the fact that Paris is a slut, but a hot slut because she's too stupid to know she is one and doesn't give a shit. I for sure would love to get her drunk and frisky. I mean, who are we kidding? Yeah, you know we'd all hit it - with a baseball glove around our #&%$ we would. And afterwards, she would buy me something pretty. You know, because I give so much pleasure.

And here's Reflekt ft. Delline Bass with Need to feel loved. Just because they are not Paris Hilton, don't have herpes (that we know of) and make beautiful music.

The Zombies are in town

Dude. The Zombies are doing a small gig downtown on Tuesday, October 31st. Why wasn't I told? It sold out in like fifteen minutes. The Zombies are awesome. Hell, I only know Time of the Season, but that song is on my life's soundtrack. Yeah, my life has a soundtrack. And it kicks ass.

Dance Department presents Cocoon

Amsterdam Dance Event took place this week and yesterday I went hard drunk on Sven Väth and Ricardo Villalobos at club The Sand, just outside downtown Amsterdam. It was pret-ty awesome. The DJ sets will be featured in either the Dance Department Podcast or the radio show in the next few weeks.

I’m sick now though and I have a big ass boo-boo in my head and in the back of my throat. One should never go clubbing when falling ill, it’s really bad. Midterms start next week, so yeah, my timing to start drinking again is excellent as usual.

This is why I am pro-suicide

"BE warned: Peter Andre and Jordan's appalling new duet is four minutes and twenty-two seconds you will never get back."

The coke burned away his cartilage which made his nose collapse and apparently it made her tone deaf. Don't do drugs!

And yeah, I know labelling this post under "music" is kinda out there.

Press Release

Van Diepen's Dance Department Podcast Reaches one millionth download


Hilversum, the Netherlands, September 12th 2006 - The leading Dutch dance music show Dance Department, on Radio 538, has already reached her 1 millionth podcast download. Since September 2005 , English spoken enhanced podcasts have been made available to the national and international public. The podcast, presented by Wessel van Diepen, is an exclusive mix featuring the latest dance records and a half hour guest performance by one of the world's top DJs. The Dance Department podcast has been a worldwide success, making its distinctive and lasting mark on the American and Canadian Podcast Top 15 charts, among others.

Ps: I didn't literally translate the original Dutch press release though. Why? Cuz it sucked and contained incorrect information and weird phrasing. Not that I'm all that, but compared to the people of the press, I'm freaking Proust. And yeah, FYI, I know who Proust is - I absolutely loved Moby Dick.

Watch and listen 3

Okay, just listen to this song, without watching the video. The video sucks and will make you hate the track and want to poke your eyes out. Honest ! Well, unless you're into that whole nature, hippy, old man smell, 60's/70's kinda thing. Well, maybe it's not that bad of a video, but I loved the song before seeing this video (which was today) and I had imagined it differently - much much better of course.

Update: I'm actually starting to 'get' the video, and kind of liking it. GD, I am always so quick to judge !

Anyway, Soul Meets Body from Death Cab For Cutie is definitely going into the "Billy the Bootlegger Official Soundtrack" playlist - that's how much I love it.

I can't really explain why I like this song so much [or any other song for that matter], but it just does something to me. My taste in music is very eclectic, but my favorite tracks always have this melancholic quality about them. My keywords for Sould Meets Body: desolation, melancholy, heartache, nostalgia but on the other hand also ultimate happiness, enlightenment and hope.

Please listen to the entire song [trust me] and let me know what you think.

And yes, my life has a soundtrack. And it is - awesome [the soundtrack - not my life].



Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

Cuz in my head there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here.

Pa-da-pa-da-pa-pa
Pa-da-pa-pa-pa-da-pa-pa
Pa-da-pa-pa-pa-da-pa-pa-da-pa-da-pa

I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain.

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I'll hold you near
Cuz you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I'll hold you near
Cuz you're the only song I want to hear

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

24/7 Dance

Wessel van Diepen's Dance Department on Radio538 (Dutch National Radio) now has its own spin-off on the internet, called 24/7 Dance [not a very orginal name, is it ?]. Non-stop dance music hand-picked by the worlds greatest DJs, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addition to contemporary, new and upcoming dance music, 24/7 Dance will also be featuring music from way back when and ground breaking underground classics from DJs such as Secret Cinema, Visage and Planet Funk.

For digital dance music 24/7, go to:

Digital Radio

Click on "24/7 Dance" in the field right of the Digital Radio player and let the music play.

You can also rate the tracks you hear, but you have to register first. This also means that when you're not registered, you won't be able to listen to the stream in HQ [128kbps] - you'll have to listen to it at LQ [96kbps].

It's all in Dutch, but if this project turns out to be a success, it'll be featured in English in no-time. So for now, only premium services for the Dutch speaking among us. Unless you'd like me to walk you through the registering procedure, which is fairly simple. But that's easy for me to say...

Check it out and enjoy,

Billy
