His name was Herman

Yesterday I went to the Melkweg where Black Francis (also known as Frank Black), the singer of The Pixies, played his ode to our own Herman Brood. Check out the album and take little lesson in Rock 'n Roll. The show was pretty darn awesome. But looking at the crowd I felt very young. You know those people who turn 18 and start complaining at parties that the crowd is sooo young? They should visit more shows like this.





Thank you old rocker billies for letting me take your picture.

Watch it!

This is Sumina our office babe. She might look sweet and all but if you don't watch your mouth around her, she will whoop your ass. Believe me, I know.

When the East is in the House...

Business is fun when friends come over, have some diner and drink a couple brews.

A Freshcotton blog favourite, Peter. Doing what he does best, eating. He doesn't like spicy food, so I ordered him a Spaghetti Carbonara "extra vet", just the way he likes it.

That's Andor (24 Seven) he's the big chief. Not to forget a skateboard legend. Are you old enough to remember the time when him and Kees Draaisma ruled the dutch skateboard scene?

Watch the skin, boys.

Yesterday was a nice day. Ruby and Sven had enough of carpeting and chilled out in the sun a little, while Jesse still tries hard on his skateboard.

Biggest Bang!

Alright, sorry enough bullshit already. I had a few beers. But seriously though keep your eyes open  for the Biggest Bang in Freshcotton history...

Willy No-Son!

I hooked up with the super foxy lady this weekend, before we went to my place she already told me she was a real big Willy Nelson fan. ,,Sure..." I thought, ,, Whatever, right?". But when we got home me and my Willy weren't to big a fan of her tattoo.

Collar Status

Ex-intern Albert (Psycho Ninja) believes the more collars you rock the more style you got. He's probably jerking of to this guy every night. 

FUCT X MEDICOM Pillow

Is your girlfriend also the type that wants tons of shitty pillows on the couch, to make it 'nice and cosy'?  Well (my personal favourite) FUCT teamed up with Medicom Toys from Tokyo, to bring you the perfect solution. 45cm High cotton pillow with flock-print Ape and classic FUCT-Ford logo. It even comes in pink for those out there with the extra whiney girlfriends.

Available at the finer FUCT dealers in may.

Nope ain't Dope

If you wanna see the Freshcotton crew (16 of them!) go nuts you should come here this saturday.

2 Nights of Beesmunt 2

I promise, after this one I'll try and go easier on the party pics.
The second night of beesmunt was at Club Stalker in Haarlem. A couple of years ago this was my local hang out. I still play tunes there every second thursday of the month.


Perfect match.

These are my two friends that come closest to being as hot as I am; Sebas (the other one) aka Jim from Ben- G and Pots.

Axl showed up.

Although they were playing better, I left a bit early because I was fucked from the night before when everything that shouldn't happen happened. So another picture from that night. Remco's not sure what to do with Sebas's love. Sebas and I grew up together in the slums of Uithorny, man. Show him sum love.

2 Nights of Beesmunt 1

My buddy Luigi who used to be intern here (he loved it) is together with his friend David; Beesmunt Soundsystem. They're young but they're sooo hot right now. He's the only dude I know who was spinning at +21 clubs at the age of 17. Friday they were playing at Paradiso.

The boy you heard about; Luigi. Don't let it go to your head, pal.

Ontout was present. Remco came out all the way from Eindjegramma, pictured here with his lovely ladyfriend Hilde. Don't let the cute face fool you, it's a she-devil.

Some pictures just make you feel happy right?

They almost didn't let Ben-G in, because he cut his hair and now he looks 15 again.

The wonderful miss Eline and his royal dudeness Bob from Ben-G.This guy's got style.

I Spit On Your Grave

I know my man Roams from OBEY has been working hard on this project, now it's finally done. OBEY records's mixtape series volume 5: The OBEY Gaslamp Killer 7” Box Set. Which contains; “I Spit On Your Grave” Mixtape & The Killer Robots Split 7". OBEY takes a step further into the deeper, darker world of sound, educating those that pop isn’t the only thing to listen to and that life can’t be appreciated without a bit of murder and death.


The Gaslamp Killer, L.A. based DJ/Producer, Dublab Radio resident, is not your conventional artist. What separates him from the rest of the herd is his extensive knowledge in psychedelic rock, demonic bass-heavy Hip-Hop, Middle-Eastern/ Indian rare grooves, and ear-piercing helicopter breaks. The energy during his live sets resonates through crowds, taking you to the filthiest psyche/freak-out you’ve ever been on.


For the lucky ones out there, OBEY will also release a limited screen-printed poster and T-shirt.


Find it online and at your local OBEY dealer soon.

Thanks...

Already a while ago Peter from Frisco sent me this T-shirt. He thought he and I probably wore the same size, guess again pal.

Sacré bleu, c'est Sixpack!

This morning we received a whole pallet of Sixpack, straight out of France. The line looks super nice, with pieces from many different artists like; Cody Hudson, Gasface and our own Parra. Collection in shops and online very soon!

Rollin' with The Hundreds

For everybody who didn't know, my main man Benny hooked us up with Rosewood's finest; The Hundreds. We already met in LA last september, these guys know what's up out there. Now we rep the Benelux for them. Also online very, very soon.

Babe Magnet

I have been walking around with a camera around my neck all day, because apparently what I said about Limpy (check One night in Arnhem pt.1) is not true. His camera trick worked and he did take a girl home, by train! Sorry Limps and thanks for the advice.

Cosmic Crack

Ever since first introduced to his work I'm a really big fan of Cosmic Crack, the dutch Erik Brunetti in my eyes. He's a true originator in the dutch 'streetart' scene (another awful word).

He has been part of the best projects over the years like; the Shoarma Crew, Betamaxxx and the Powerblast Movement. Check out his fotolog and myspace. My boys from Ontourke are also pretty close to him lately. Better keep an eye open for their next collections.

One night in Arnhem pt.2

Although her girlfriend was trying, this girl wouldn't get away from me. She recognized me and said I was hot. That right there deserved her a place on the blog. Enjoy.

This was my posse that came out with me, they're two of my closest buddies. The tall geek is Gossé de Skater, member of the infamous Les Amateurs de Vinyl. The tiny jock is Biff aka Ian McGriff, true Rastafari and half of Wazari Sound. Thanks guys.

Sure. Take another one, why don't ya?

If Peter wants to take you to this afterparty where they have really steep stairways don't go, you'll be leaving there with a limp worse than Limpy's.

When the proud owner of this set right here saw this picture she said; ,,They actually look really nice." so I'm sure she doesn't mind me putting this picture up.

One night in Arnhem pt.1

Frisco and Brainwash organized this Static III premiere and party all the way out in Arnhem. After Peter from Frisco repeatingly begged me to come out there, me and a mini-posse decided to show our faces in farmerland.

This is my boy Peter, he's pretty much the king out there in Arnhem. He runs Frisco and is one of the most active bloggers I know (check it). I love this guy and his blog is nice and all, but the only thing is he keeps calling me fat on his blog... Can someone get this fatso a mirror?

Job Willemsen Soundsystem.

The good thing about small town parties is that everyone is so stoked that there finally is a party, they don't give a fuck and go absolutely nuts.

That's Limpy, if Peter is the mayor in Arnhem he's the sherrif. He was walking around with this camera around his neck all night with no more battery. He said the girls really liked it. He went home by train, alone. Good job, buddy!

The too cool to dance crew.
