Scum nº 04 0

Made this Knack Weekend’s black edition nº 4 on Outdoor & Ecoliving which features a part on different ‘communities’. Heard we were asked to enlighten a little something about young scum and love, lots of love it even seems. At your local paper monger right now. Thanks for the mention Knack as it turned out to [...]

2010: a blog odyssee 1

So, the year has neared its end and guess we should do a little round-up, check if our predicted 2010 moments lived up to what they would be or not. We can already say it lived up to be way better than expected Met some great people, had some great experiences, (re)discovered artists, heard some [...]

Russian – criminal – Tattoo 0

Amazon dropped some fresh stuff last week. Amongst several Christmas gifts some new books for yours truly. The Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia is a nice addition to my bookshelf. Fascinating stuff the Russian tattoo, especially the fact it goes hand in hand with criminal culture in which tattoos are codes one must learn to master [...]

Siberian Education 2

Finished reading Siberian Education by Nicolai Lilin which in my opinion is a must read if you are into non-fictional books. The small republic of Transnistria, which declared its independence in 1990 but has never been recognised, is a remote part of Russia in which a community of honest criminals settled years ago. It is [...]

Yesterday I read a book 3

Crooked Little Vein 1

Finished Crooked Little Vein by comic book writer Warren Ellis. Been reading steady again ever since a Kindle found its way into my hands. Now I am not an established book reviewer, but Amazon can provide you all with a short description as this is one read worth sharing: Michael McGill is a burned-out private [...]

Bicycle Portraits 0

The Bicycle Portraits project was initiated by Stan Engelbrecht (Cape Town, South Africa) and Nic Grobler (Johannesburg, South Africa) early in 2010. Whenever they can, together or separately, they’re on the lookout for fellow commuters, and people who use bicycles as part of their everyday work, to meet and photograph. They’re finding out who rides [...]

Houston, we have a problem 0

picture by @stefanvdg aka Freaky.be Couple of months back I was pleased to annonce the birth of Apollo. Now the moment arrived that many were afraid for: Apollo is no more it seems. Shit hit the fan as the news spread about financial troubles and we only can hope they find a new partner for [...]

One step forward for mankind 1

Last Thursday we saw the birth of a new mag in BE (or at least it marked the launch with a nice little shindig at Eskimo in Ghent). Our fellow blogger On Point finds (& lately also record label owner bringing JtotheC’s finest work to date)  himself at the heart of this operation. Besides writing [...]
