For me it’s the SONY NW-A3000 (20 GB). I still use it occasionally and the sound is still great. The shiny body and bright display made it a unique design at the time. It’s just a pity that Sony used its own software to put music on it, which I can no longer get to work now. So only old songs.

Am I the only one who starts hearing songs in my head about shimming while manually (intensively) shimming? Like: “We will, we will shim you”, “Let’s shim!”, “You make a grown man shim”, "And I will always shim you”, "You can shim, you can jive”, “Tramps like us, baby we were born to shim”.

I was in one of those typical book-and-vinyl shops today in Maastricht — the kind you always think you’d love to visit. LPs everywhere and stacks of books on the floor. But I had no idea where to even start. In the end, I went home empty-handed, unfortunately.

The Blues Brothers - Original Soundtrack Recording
I wouldn’t call it the greatest soundtrack ever, but with every song I can see the scene play out perfectly — no doubt because I’ve seen it so often. And the cast is simply fantastic.

Wham! - The Singles: Echoes from the Edge of Heaven
Some albums aren’t ones you buy for yourself. I prefer George Michael’s solo work, but even so, it’s a true echo of the ’80s. The echo of “Last Christmas” has been ringing for a bit.

Dire Straits - San Francisco 1979
So recognizable: a recording from a certain year with a cover photo that doesn’t match the year of the performance at all. A nice recording - though, like many concerts from that era, it feels overly fast

BAP - Vun drinne noh drusse
It was not only Nov 9th to remember the Kristallnaach, but certainly also Oct 29th, during the parliamentary elections. As Wolfgang Niedecken said: it’s mainly about those who have learned nothing from this history

Madonna - True blue
A nice album for a quiet evening. I can’t really say much about it — I don’t even know how I got it. Probably something from or for my girlfriend. Although “Open Your Heart” does sound quite catchy.

Look what just came in! 🩵 T-shirts and a hoodie from JP Amalfi. If you ever end up in Amalfi, this shop is so worth a visit. PS: I got the ceramic cup (for limoncello, coffee, and eggs!) and the sweater when I was in Amalfi earlier this month.🇮🇹✨ jp-amalfi.com #Amalfi #Italy

Henny Vrienten - Geen ballade
Een album dat past bij een herfstige dag: binnen blijven, verwarming aan, naar de regen kijken. Een zijsprong even weg van Doe Maar.

Bryan Adams - You Want It You Got It
His 2nd album set the tone for all that followed. I borrowed it in 1990 from a guy I worked with at a student job: the start of my Bryan Adams phase, which, more than 35 years later did fade out.

Human League - Dare
Taking 'A Star Is Born' as a starting point, it's a nice approach to describe the situation from two perspectives. You can also hear it in "Hallo in de Yellow" (by Neet oét Lottum & Chantal Janzen). That much is true.

Time for a fun fact: the quadriceps tendon rupture was repaired using a 5.5 × 16.3 mm (😱) suture anchor — a corkscrew-like screw drilled into my knee, with sutures attached to it to secure the tendon (picture taken from www.arthrex.com).

Joe Jackson - Live 1980/86
One of those albums you buy for a single song, here the a cappella version of “Is She Really Going Out with Him?”. But listening again, I was reminded how deeply moving “Real Men” and “Be My Number Two” are.

Cyndi’s unmistakable voice is both powerful and vulnerable. I love the blend of new wave, punk, and electronic pop. But with Time After Time, it feels like time stands still when drawn into the song.

I wonder what UB40 would be singing about nowadays if they were making political statements like on this one. ‘One in Ten’ and ‘Sardonicus’ are so sharp. But ‘Don’t Slow Down’ stands out for me.
