The RZA, ‘leader’ of the mighty Wu-Tang Clan who changed hiphop in ‘93, and Shavo Odadjian, the bassist for the metal band System of a Down, combined forces in 2005 and mentioned doing a album together. Now, in 2008, together they are called Achozen and the first studio album is said to be released in July.

Yes Josh we care for you and your band. Josh Homme, the frontman of Queens Of The Stone Age, appearently needed some love from his audience and asked if we cared for him.

And still counting. 29.605 new submissions to our music database after sending out our monthly newsletter that is. In it, we requested to send in your data to our databases. Well, I can only say you’ve responded Big Time.

New Cool Collective at the Sugarfactory Amsterdam, 17 december

It’s been a few weeks but you deserve to know about this great swinging band. It was a cold night… it was a very cold night, but I knew a place that would definitely warm me up. So I put my hat on, put on my gloves and my super thermo long underwear and headed to the Sugarfactory. To see one of the most swinging big bands around: the New Cool Collective big band!

It’s o so time to reminisce when I look at my brand new calendar for 2008. Yes, I’m an old fashioned girl and still use a paper one. When I popped in the new & pristine leaves it got me thinking about the Most Memorable Music Moments of 2007. It’s time to publish The List!

De Dijk at Paradiso Amsterdam, 14 December

Yes, here it is. The much anticipated (uhuh) post about the De Dijk concert in Paradiso.

Finally our music connect page is there. So I can write my first blog post as well (jay!). Why? Because I don’t watch a lot of TV or Movies, don’t play games and my comic days go back a while. So is there anything I do besides programming the Collectorz application? Yes! I just love music.

Being the music database admin, I really felt left behind. Mark, AJ and Vinnie already had their new Connect homes for games, movies and comics to show of their work to the databases. Me, no such luck, I was still stuck with the old music database home. Just a top 50 of most popular CDs and That Was That. Till now.

Sinterklaas has left the country, time to put up the Xmas tree. We have indulged ourselves last year in a very nifty (and plastic, save the real ones!) tree with color coded branches. Throughout the year it’s neatly stored in a carton box and when you open it, just select the colors on the branches and start building your tree. AJ is a fantastic tree builder and he did it once again. Look at our beautiful Xmas tree!
All cards and presents we receive are under the tree, so far only the Google present: a 2GB memory card, disguised as a business card. It came in a leather pouch, with the Google logo stamped on it. Nice.

We have just published our new Connect pages for movies, games and comics. WOW! Hurray for Sven, who has worked steadily on these completely new and redesigned websites. We’ve hired Joris (the designer who also created our program icons) to do the graphics and he did a brilliant job as well. Just visit and browse the new Connect pages, lots of new features and info to be found on movies, games and comics.
