Out to Lunch

Uke-le-le

Finally, I’m able to send out of sign of live again. It’s about time. I’ve been busy and abroad. Next week I’m out of the country again for a short trip to Italy. This time a private holiday. I really need it. Maybe I can get my hands on some italo disco. Who knows.

When there’s a lot of wind I often wonder where the wind would take me if I was just a leave. Probably somewhere in the gutter :)

Not only my mind keeps wondering off. The wind has brought winter, and the first snow in ages. At the same time it seems like everybody around me is or has been wandering off to distant shores. A friend of mine just came back from a long trip to Israel and Jordan, another one is also leaving next week for a long trip to Capo Verde, an yet another half-nomadic friend is killing time in the south of Spain looking for a job and adventure. I’ve just been talking to a new friend, a deer colleague of mine, who’s brother lives and works in Africa, about both doing something similar.

I’ve got a lot of new music as well but because I always work according to the system ‘last in last out’, a lot of it never makes it to these pages. Like for instance a great compilation of Manu Dibango called 1962… Voyage Anthologique and all three Brownswood Bubblers by Gilles Peterson. I made a quick selection of what has been lying around for a while but still gets airplay on my various means of audioplayin'.
