The Dutch painter Mondrian was apparantly a fervent dancer to Boogie Woogie and that image stuck because he seems such a stiff guy otherwise. So I thought that would make a funny subject for a dance-tune. Normally I wouldn't make a song about…

Here the idea was that I was going to write from the viewpoint of someone who is paralyzed from the neck down and can through technology only watch other peoples life but not participate. It turned out a bit more general and ambiguous than that.

1.Afsluitdijk ...is a Dutch word and it's the name of the dam/road going from the province Friesland to North-Holland (and Amsterdam) The lyrics are about a 15-year old boy who feels so trapped in the boring Frisian town he's living in that he…

1. Vanilla sex and garlic eyes I tried this method http://www.songmd.com/col_hitlyrics.shtml to get out of my continuing lyricwriting-crisis. At step two of the method you have to write a nonsensical lyric on you melody. In the case of the first…

11. Mermaid My Casio-tune (for the Casio Challenge) Recorded through a microphone so you can hear me tapping away at the crappy little keys of the SA-3. Since it started to sound very sinister and reminded me also of the sea I wanted to add lyrics…

10. Nightflight to the sun I made a lot of guitarbased tunes this year so here I started with synths and stuff. I quickly started to sound like an Italodiscotrack so I added the compulsary cheesy lyrics to go with it. Though, like in Vamos a…

9. One big Eurocity The title is nicked from a line in a Tuxedomoon-song. I wanted to have lyrics for this one about travelling and coming across similarities in different cities in Europe. But, alas, no time left. It's an instrumental now.

8. I only want to procrastinate I started recording this on 28 february and added lyrics and vocals two hours before midnight the 29th. It's my favourite now though it's kinda dumb. I started with a drumrythm from a crappy Yamaha Portasound keyboard…

7. Lights speeding home The lyrics are kinda cliché. I like the tune itself. I tried to make a song similar to Femme Fatale or I'll be your Mirror by the Velvet Underground but it's nothing like that. I though it had a driving-at-night-atmosphere…

6. Underachievers Anonymous More nonsense lyrics. I quite like the tune though and the vocals are also acceptable for a change.
