I don't really have any musical "heroes", don't really like the term coming to think of it.... People I admire, yes, sure, like Gugum Gumbira, the guy who basically invented the whole jaipong genre and who became a good friend of mine in the last few years, he sadly passed away a few months ago, when I heard it, at two o'clock at night I immediately went to his house, watched him being washed and prepared for burial. As the hours dragged on the place filled up with hundreds of people, loads of local celebrities etc. and we went with two huge buses to a place called Majalaya where he was from to bury him.... I hope good old Gabi gets a farewell as grand as that one was....<br /><br />The Plastic People Of The Universe with Egon Bondy come to mind, for what they went though making their music way back....<br /><br />Robert Fisk! If there's one guy I've been admiring in the last few years it would have to be good old Fisky, I keep telling people to read his The Great War For Civilization, few do, but the ones that do are just as blown away as I was when reading that one...<br /><br />Ah.... Staying at home, like almost everybody, more then a week now, music, music, music and more music....Henk Madrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733745439852366674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-65810707097950136062020-03-24T10:44:03.314+01:002020-03-24T10:44:03.314+01:00@ henk...no, i've got the perfect one...,that ...@ henk...no, i've got the perfect one...,that album they did after virgin.."1st Step To Heaven"....its great in aslightly cheesy hard gay disco way.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-56673061971611470982020-03-24T10:26:02.802+01:002020-03-24T10:26:02.802+01:00@ hENK,yeah i think was 15 or 16 too,but never got...@ hENK,yeah i think was 15 or 16 too,but never got Metabolist until i was about 18....i've done all my DAF posts, so will have to find a bootleg or something...maybe one of those virgin albums,haven't posted them?<br />Yeah, its never good when some minor celebrity that you grew up with dies.It reminds one of ones own mortality and the rapid passage of time....FUCK!...its us next innit?Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-59860429588267981232020-03-24T09:22:48.702+01:002020-03-24T09:22:48.702+01:00I just can't seem to Plug Myself In

If I had to make a very short list of bands that influenced me the most D.A.F. would be on that list for sure, I was 15 when I bought Die Kleine und Die Bosen, 40 years ago, and I still listen to it often (Same goes for Hansten Klork from Metabolist)....<br /><br />For you....Hmmmm.... It would open up a nice trail of posts wouldn't it? Their first albums were all produced by Conny Plank who at one point I read, turned down David Bowie and turned down Bono, didn't wanted to work with either of them as he didn't find them very interesting.... That fact alone.... well....<br /><br />Henk Madrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733745439852366674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-33956676183722133942020-03-24T01:28:03.429+01:002020-03-24T01:28:03.429+01:00Yeah some pioneering cow bell programming took pla...Yeah some pioneering cow bell programming took place in that studio.I mean...."Especially For You" was recorded there......Mark must have been humbled?Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-20285872176184312232020-03-23T23:57:58.589+01:002020-03-23T23:57:58.589+01:00Parts of this were recorded at PWL studios (!!!)Parts of this were recorded at PWL studios (!!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-87819611310207978622020-03-23T23:17:06.079+01:002020-03-23T23:17:06.079+01:00@ anonymous...i agree, better than any of his post...@ anonymous...i agree, better than any of his post 1990 work with the Fall.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-73897555469273713762020-03-23T23:15:46.369+01:002020-03-23T23:15:46.369+01:00Fuck!...don't tell me i've gotta do a DAF ...Fuck!...don't tell me i've gotta do a DAF tribute as well now!?...as long as it wasn't by coronavirus i'm up for it.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-35499976126951814572020-03-23T22:04:20.882+01:002020-03-23T22:04:20.882+01:00Bloody hell....
