Top Shelf 8/8/88 Compilatie
Een album met lost tapes uit 1988. Hiphop van de bovenste plank, Japan only…
“Introduction: 17 years ago a small recording studio, TOP SHELF, located in the basement of a brownstone in the East Village section of New York, was looted during the Thompkins Square riots of 1988, displacing the recordings of many soon-to-be Hip Hop stars. The studio had been the meeting place for many rappers, neighborhood kids, and producers that would later be responsible for the greatest period of the Hip Hop age, “The Golden Era.” A search commenced soon after the recordings were lost, but nothing was ever found. So sought after were the tapes, they soon acheived Holy Grail status amongst Hip Hop circles. Despite years of searching, and dozens of hopeless crusades, the tapes remained lost. No one was quite sure who took them or where they were… until now.

”Het aantal illustraties van Willem G. van de Hulst is onvoorstelbaar groot. Denk alleen al aan ‘Inde Soete Suikerbol’, ‘Inde Goude Gaper’, ‘De Pruikenmaker en de Prins’ en alle grote voorleesboeken.
Vanaf de 30-er jaren is Willem. G. van de Hulst langzamerhand ingegroeid in het illustreren van (kinder)boeken en nam de taak over van tekenaars als Tjeerd Bottema, Cornelis Jetses en Sierk Schröder. Dat betekende vooral ook het moderniseren van ‘verouderde’ tekeningen. Daarmee wordt – zoals zichtbaar in de totaaloverzichten – ook een veranderend tijdsbeeld weergegeven. Maar bovenal blijft het motto voor zowel vader als zoon Van de Hulst dat de tekeningen direct passend bij het verhaal moesten zijn en de kinderziel sterk moesten kunnen aanspreken.”
One of the best laboratories for developing the out of date super8 films, has moved to my town. Good service, fair price and nice products.

And now they even have a load of other peoples films on the site!
Watch people travelling almost empty streets on crackly new bridges towards immense steam boats heading for Europe with nazi-flags in the masts. Or zeppelins. Or ostrich carts on Scheveningen. Or pretended flights to the North pole. From the beginning of last century unto this one.
Enjoy!

If you liked “Stapelfahrer Klaus“, you’ll probably also like “Shake Hands With Danger“. An amazingly scored safety instruction film from the early seventies made for people working with heavy machinery. The music in the movie is made specifically for this production and is enormously funny. The song is sung by a Johnny Cash-soundalike calling himself ‘three finger joe’. He also seems to be the narrator of the film….

Too bad I couldn’t get tickets for it, but on the 1st of June the British band Bat For Lashes played at the opening of the Arnhem Mode Biënnale.
Here’s a demo track called Howl by Bat For Lashes.

Some nice tunes to cheer you up!
