Dio - Tijdmachine ft. Sef



Who's up for some Dutch hiphop? Here you go. The song title is "Tijdmachine" which means, believe it or not, Timemachine. Similar,no? Dio is talking about how he wishes he could change things that he had done in his relationship. The featured Sef does not always harmonize with Dio but Dio gives this song such a strong forward force that feels like a wave carrying you along with the song. But enough with that, It is very exciting to find some real Dutch music and I hope to start posting some more.



PS.

By the way if the girl in the music video looks familar, she is from the music video "Animale" by one of my favorites Dragonette. Where she similarly breaksup a relationship...hummm.

Ohhh the red, white, and blue

If you were given the job of creating a flag to represent your country, how would you design it?  Myself, I would probably think of some symbols of your country then hand over the design portion to an artist, with the plan of choosing colors that aptly represent where you live.  What have most countries of the world done?  Three bars filled in with color.  Lets talk about the Netherlands flag.  This "orange" country has a drab flag, but not only is it drab it's deceiving.  So many countries use red, white, and blue that it is confusing. + A little sun bleaching,  Luxembourg +Sea sickness       France + Dyslexia ,  Russia                                                                             ...

Holland is just a step away

When life gives you lemons make green tea lemonade. So, when one lives in the midwest why not make the best of it and explore the sites in this area? You don't need a lot of money or even a passport. That brings us to Holland, Michigan a Dutch settlement in America. Obviously the city is very proud of its Dutch heritage, as shown in the klompen picture at the top. Klompen is the name of the Dutch wooden clog dance. There are many dutch settlements in Michigan but what makes Holland so distinctly Dutch are its two festivals: the tulip time festival in the spring and the winter festival. The tulip festival is held in mid-May and lasts for 8 days. The festival includes tours at the local windmills, tulip farms, local dutch houses, as well as dances, concerts, street scrubing, and a dutch marketplace. One interesting thing about the Dutch costumes that are presented during the festival is that they are from the 8 out of 12 different provinces of the Netherlands. Here is...

Dirty Shell

      The Shell oil company has been in the news lately.  Recently they have been accused of spilling oil in the Delta region of Nigeria.  Shell's full name is the Royal Dutch Shell company.  Shell blames the leaks on sabotage, which run the illegal oil purification centers in the area.  They have been in trouble in the past for their involvement during Apartheid in South Africa.  This time it turns out that oil has been spilling into this watershed region which has contaminated the ground and the water which was once a productive fishing center.    Shell has been brought to court in the Netherlands by a group called Friends of the Earth.  Their lawyer's name is Jan de Bie Leuveling Tjeenk.  In comparisons to other oil spills, the spill in Nigeria is double the amount that was spilled into the Gulf during the BP oil disaster.  Shell has been accused of treating this oil spill in...
