About Me

My band : The Undisputed Heavyweights ( see here )
My company : Liberated Matter ( see here )
We release independent records (under the name Family Records) and organize concerts in New York City including a weekly acoustic concert series called Cross-Pollination that has been going on for over a 136 weeks now.
My photos : I like taking photos of interesting looking people and situations. You can see some of them on my Flickr page .
Oh, and I write about Hip Hop music here .
I also work at Engine Room Recordings and am currently working on finishing up a cool project called Guilt By Association with some awesome musicians like Will Oldham, Jim O'Rourke, Petra Haden, Mike Watt, and more.
No seriously, About ME:
I am EUROPEAN. People can easily tell. I wear it on my sleeve. As I do my heart. I am a bad liar. I live in Brooklyn. Dutch by nationality, Superhero by profession.
I was bound for a career in a large corporation post-college but decided against it and stepped on a boat to NYC instead. I arrived with $50 dollars and a bicycle. The bicycle was stolen the first night I arrived and I spent $45 on the thai prostitute that ended up pulling a Crying Game on me. I swear I checked and failed to see an adam's apple. There I was left with just $5. I invested in pomegranates, and look at me now. Look at me now bitches! World domination!
You too should chase your dream.
Olifantje, Olifantje, wat is jou naam? Ik hou van jouw large trunk and winning personality .
I don't add people that I don't know in real life unless I like your music or we've spoken online or you are an African woman looking for a mail order groom. Or if you quote Morrissey. Ok, and also if your picture or profile interested me when I came across it. Or if you are a fellow Scrabble fanatic! Sigh...my intentions have gotten so diluted. And remember MySpace rule ..1: leaving those big ass narcistic Thanks For The Add pictures is really lame. Especially the one Ari Hest leaves. Nice guy and talented though, wish he stopped the picture thing nonetheless.
