Coming pinxter monday i will be riding the Elfstedentocht. I won’t be skating the ice between the eleven Friesian cities however. And i’ll leave my bicycle at home. I am going to ride this tocht der tochten on a motorcycle. It’s supposed to be one big traffic jam, but there’s only one way to find out.
While I will be destroying a perfectly good clutch, you guys might take the time to check out some motorcycle history.
Number four in this serie of more or less related Belgium bands is about Vive La Fête. (We’ve already had Zita Swoon, Moondog Jr. and Dead Man Ray.)
Danny Mommens played bass and keyboard in Belgium rockband dEUS (a topic about them within a week here at Och), but couldn’t fulfill all his musical wet dreams with them, so that’s why he raised his own side-project Vive La Fête back in 1997. Partner in crime in this project is his gorgeous busty and longlegged lover, muse and former model (Joid, are you there?) Els Pynoo. At first Danny recorded simple tracks on his 8-trackrecorder, but as Els dropped her sexy and sometimes out of tune, uncertain but highly sensitive voice upon it, Vive La Fête was born. They soon gained some fame as they were in the frontline of what later was called ‘electroclash’, although they never really fit that label, because their music not only combines eighties new-wave with dance, it also combines edgy (punk)rock with French chansons from the sixties for instance.

While those lutsers at that other blog are confronted with fake wannabee pr0n, the Original Fappers know where to get the real deal. Exactly! Here on Ochblog!


Natura Fluxus brings us on a poetic, existential and suggestive journey dealing with matters like abandonment, desolation, emptiness, inanimation, remembrance and residual energy through places where we can spot traces of presence of mankind. Discover the aesthetic beauty in old factories and ruins: in the perishable and the metamorphoses that follow.
Natura Fluxus is a 15 minutes experimental short film, produced by Peter Andersson and Lars Bosma. Where concrete, environmental sounds and original scored music blend with visual stunning sceneries of rarely seen places. The film is in B/W and Color. Enter the cinema!
Hey Bro’, you know though, copying content doesn’t rule! The MPAA is recruting young vulnerable students to make creative new content to spread this message around the globe. The hypocrite, moralising and brainwashing results can be found here.
Luckly there are also, really, creative people spending there time in making Down With DRM video’s. I’d say 1-0 for the Anti-DRM.
