limitations to the queer music charts :
Hey, I'm not always in the sissy musical mood, sometimes I want it, need it, hard and agressive!
this obviously did not stay on yawntube very long:

Henk van Ulsen passed away:
It's weird: last year Carol van Herwijnen died, the very night I saw him perform at "de Parade" in Den Haag. Just now I heard Henk van Ulsen is gone, just after he did these poems by Gerard Reve:
so this vid I shot 2 weeks ago at Galerie Mooiman has most likely been his last recorded p.a.

moet dat nou ? or is it really necessairy ?
Yes, it is, because, even though I feel I´ve crossed that bridge, I somehow am still on it if we take into consideration the ongoing paranoia at dwh, I for myself have no need to discuss it any further. Although some might think different of me, I do genuinely find that everybody is entitled to his own opinion, and I only get into a fit or rage when I encounter a case of major infringement of freedom of thought or action, like with the dwh.
I almost got uproared again when I found this discussion online at the new gay where we see a case of hyper moralism brewing up like a hurricane in the Carribean. Not so much in the original entry, but especially in the comments, where persons like BB, Jumbo, DL, HG, WCB910, Howza and Susan are extremely intolerant. But then, maybe you agree with them . . . go right ahead, emigrate to Iran?
and, as far as STD´s are concerned as argument to remain monogamous? watch the statisticcs, do the maths: riding a motorbike still is the most dangerous activity in this world.

queer music charts;
hartstikke handige haaaglanden homoristische horny honderd
for years I have been getting sick of the bnn homo hundred and the way queer music is implemented in 'broad radio' like RADIO 3, 538, FRESH, or DECIBEL: presenters constantly think they must be funny over our heads, must stress they have nothing against homos but are not into same-sex themselves, and have no clue about the richness of our music culture and display their nitwit awareness by continuing to select as homi tunes the songs that we all got dead tired of some 20 years ago, like the weathergirls, village people or marianne rosenberg, as you can verify on the bnn/radio3 list.
That is why for some years I run a list that does feed on our own culture and ties with the true centers of gravity of our culture, like Amsterdam Club Church, Daniel Nardicio´s radio shows from the East Village, New Orleans and Fire Island, Logo, HERE and Out/tv and some of my queer dj friends. It is not updated daily or weekly, but frequently, which means in between week- and monthly. The only restriction is that it feeds on youtube material, which has superior audio, video and upload quality but as a downside has super prudish norms, record and movie mogul/companies making a parody of their copyrights, christian fanatic idiots flagging homo stuff and no nudity restrictions we all hate. But whenever that bothers us, we soon find other display channels, so the only ones really suffering from mentioned stupidities are the companies who persist as accomplices of these atrocities.

not in the habit of promoting dwh activities these days, but tonight they're showing the nr 2 of my all time list. They should have had it last week as the annual movie showingt outside for the new students week, but, of course, were obviously chickened out of that idea by the amount of nudity and sex in the first 10 minits of it, so they did the earlier one by John Cameron Mitchel: Hedwig and the angry inch, and show the real blockbuster this week, inside.

Xtra devout sunday worship
My 2 cents worth at the discussion on the USA ex gay movement over at Nichtcharm:
We here in NL have a priest, dr Antoine Bodar (recent interview), who makes no secret of his homosexual past. There are photos from his youth (he was quite gorgeous) taken in Amsterdam gay circles of the early seventies.
Later on he became dj at a catholic pop radiostation and from there he moved to more serious cultural radio and tv. In the eighties he decided to stop being sexually active, because he wanted to become a priest. And indeed he was ordained. Since then he says to have refrained from any sexuality and has risen in the ranks of the catholic church in NL and is now their main spokesman on ethics and religious affairs in dutch media. His last function was that of some sort of sub-bisshop (plebaan) at one of the more conservative dioceses (den Bosch, Brabant). As he was too controversial there he is now stationed in Rome. Where he may very well rise further through the ranks.
I've been in fierce discussions with him about church policies repeatedly, like on the issue of (not) condoning condoms and homosexuality. His argument came down to this:
According to the scriptures there is just one, most ideal form of sexuality, and that is the one that is for the purpose of producing offspring with just 2 persons staying together their entire life. If we stick to just that we do not need condoms. That said, we are not all chosen to lead this most perfect life. He advocates that the church should have a press office, so we are not always confronted with the infallible
statements of the holy father, who has for his entire life studied holy books and thus lives somewhat 'with his head in the clouds', or 'near god'. So much so that he cannot relate that easy anymore with us, average sinners.
I myself have left the RC church, but do somewhat respect his approach, and it would be nice if he climbed up furher in church ranks and possibly make it to their highest office one day, and set up that press office.
He certainly does not strike me as a person who is unhappy or mentally unstable because he left behind his active (homo) sexuality.
I would never take those drastic steps, but did for 20 years refrain from fucking,
because of the risks and not being able to enjoy it with condoms. Although I missed it and regretted the necessity of the choice, I was not altogether unhappy for those 20 years, and I think I survived them without major psycho trauma.
Nevertheless, since the start of this millennium I've gradually returned to anal intercourse, and don't think that is insane nor criminal or sinful either.
Maybe contrary to what I wrote above, I would very much like to draw this issue away from religion.
Almost all homos have gone through, or are still deeply troubled by a guilt trip.
They have been raised by heterosexual parents (mostly) and it takes more then
your average puberty to get to grips with your own personality, that does not (necessarily) agree with monogamy, or vanilla practices.
Why then do we need so much drama and mostly a second and third coming out, to
just recognise we are promiscuous, hunters, fetishists, turned on by unsafe sex?
Sure, we use alcohol to cross certain thresholds, if not other substances.
(Yep, in my country alcohol is considered by most as far more dangerous and inducing risky behavior then a lot of substances that are illegal in the USA)
I don't have the answers, but boy, would I like to see routes that can ease away a lot of the unneeded drama that comes with recognising our "pervert" self.
That would help so many to stay away from activities that I think we all agree are better left illegal, like using violence, peer pressure, intoxication or money to get others to agree to sexual activities they would not choose voluntarily.

owee and generation Y:
Before I continue with my item of today ,
let me mention to new students in Delft that DWH once was the one and only Gay Delft Org, but due to some stupidity a few years back, full authority of the club has been handed to youth, without any knowledge of history, culture or commerce (although they think differently),
so there is now a club for youth and females who say they represent Delft homo culture, but there is nothing homosexual left there: they are so self absorbed, insecure and hating their homo identity, that all adult homos have left the sinking ship!
The only sport we homos have a "God Given" talent for they are paranoid about so it is not to be found on the program:
Sexually active delft students now have to cycle 20 minits to the Boss Rijswijk.
Don't become a member of DWH, if you are not planning to be monogamous, or CDA or CU or muslim party voter any time soon:
it's a waste of time/money.
and the only true homosexual live act is not at the sorry travesty of a gay club but around the corner here this friday: café de Koepoort Ankie performs:
and don't think it's only me, old fart, coming to these conclusions:
QUOTE:
"I made my experiences with the GAY GAMERs community which is indeed homophobic beyond words. But I guess that shows how insecure teens are nowadays. They do everything to distance themselves from everything queer because our society is working hard on creating an environment for our kids to grow up in where being different than the masses in the slightest way means getting isolated and in extreme cases (hello America) even beaten to death or shot just because you don’t love the right people."
( Josh, from the MILKBOYS thinking gay youth community )
Personally, I hate the word gay, and use faggot and homo always, but youth campaining against the use of that word, for all the wrong reasons, for wanting to be 'normal', what is the expreszo-generation coming to?
why can we not just accept we all suffer from this tainted twist of nature?
Like Slava Mogutin :
It used to smell like teen spirit
Now it’s just the smell of recycled ideals
And burnt melted plastic
Plastic faces
Plastic poses
Plastic smiles
Commodified youth
Too young to live
Too old to die
Too drunk to talk
Too high to cum
You are who you eat
You are what you fuck
An endless food chain
Survival of the feces
Reckless endangered species
Hand-picked from the model pool
Labeled branded brainwashed and misused
So tender to the touch
Falling off the bones
They used to smell like teen spirit
and if anybody wants to turn the tide (have not given up hope) or when a SEDUKTION normality DISTRUKTION PARTY is planned there, d d doo get in touch : & I'll be back !

Jo met de Banjo
one of the most classic double entendre gay songs in Dutch history is this one, written by Jasperina de Jong. I've never thought very highly of the legendary lesbian Sugar lee Hooper, but in this cover duet with André van Duin she proves to be quite an impressive singer:
or
Wij zijn dol op de bossen
Daar kunnen we hossen
Daar kunnen we klossen
Wij zijn dol op de heide
Op de weide en op de natuur
Geef ons de frisse weide want je kunt er
Zo genieten zonder, ha, heerlijk Hunter
Wij willen geen nicotine, wij willen de mandoline
Van je pingelepingelepingelepingelepong
Picknicken is zo fijn
Niks pikken voor de lijn
Dat mag voor ons overbodig zijn
Jo met de banjo, en Lien met de mandoline
Kaatje met 'r mondharmonikaatje
Truitje met 'r luitje, je moet dat cluppie zien
Dol op een man, dol op een man
We zijn zo dol op een mandoline
Wij zijn zonnige zussen
Wij zijn niet te kussen
Wij zijn niet te kussen
Dat is onhygienisch
Onhygienish in de natuur
Wij zijn 't C.B.H. der slakkenhuizen
Wij zijn dol op hagedis en waterluizen
Geen Kareltje en geen Wimpies
We stappen in onze gympies
Van je pingelepingelepingelepingelepong
Bij ons is alles puur
Wij hebben nog figuur
Wij zijn een stuk ongerept natuur
refrein'
Wij zijn dol op de merels
We motten geen kerels
We motten geen kerels
Wij beschermen de diertjes
De miertjes, de piertjes
In de natuur
Wij gaan soms veertien dagen lang kamperen
Zonder hi, zonder ha, zonder heren
Wij willen geen limousine
Wij willen de mandoline
Van je pingelepingelepingelepingelepong
Het klinkt aan alle kant
Wanneer 't zonnetje brand
Wij zijn de ronden van Nederland

interesting :
I can only say: do visit the sailor-art exhibition at Mooiman Groningen:
one of the guys I met there last sunday is Feike, an artist who'll have an exhib in A'dam in september.
in the interview on his site he talks about the restrictions of being involved as artist when photographing erotic action.
I've discussed this here regarding my video work at the former Vagevuur (09-09-2001) and at Club Church (still to be shown). You cannot get into all crevices of the human body with the lense, let alone multiple bodies, let alone lighting equipment needed to shoot in hair-fine grain.

inspired by a column in my newspaper VK.nl, aug 7 '09 pag 19
and also a response to Martins message this morning linking to this tutorial on 'how not to blog' (in Flemish, sorry)
Also suffer from high bloodpressure after visiting art sites?
Sure, I have been part of the conspiracy, but I've seen this coming, and threw out a lot of the flash "bells and whistles"
that make navigation different on each page and mainly use basic links, clickable images, and keep movement limited to when it's absolutely required.
I try to avoid huge images that require scrolling on small screens. But . . . sometimes essential detail or gorgeous genital close-ups cannot be passed on otherwise.
The Lowlands website is a christmas tree in the worst possible taste.
So bad that a diehard fan of the festival made an alternative on lowla.nl, which indeed
sheds some light at the end of the tunnel, or should I say: left a thread through their blinking flashing Hades labyrinth.
Tried to buy tickets online for shows in this years Parade:
Totally drove me into an insane fit of migraine!
First klick on your city, then go to the block of the show you're interested in.
Then find that you can only see all the information in the blocks if you reduce the font size to unreadably small.
then click on buy tickets, which brings you back to the earlier block schedule with added order fields.
Same for the Holland Festival: Sleepless nights and several fits of rage: what an insult to web design!
Black bars sliding all over the place just when you decided to click what you thought was a link.
In desparation I resorted to the good old telephone and got a sweet patient lady who told me she also got stuck on the website.
Two minits later all my tickets were ordered and arrived the next morning on the doormat.
And you thought the author of the article was a blind dementing pensioner? Harmen Bockma is in his thirties!
Question: is this a Dutch phenomenon, or a worldwide virus?

Mad about the boy
Received the ordered cd of Noel Coward, the complete recordings, volume 2, 1932-1943 from Amazon,
because it contains his own recording of that song which is not available online in any form or shape. Sure there's a multitude of covers, but isn't it pathetic that even the BBC writes about the greatest recordings of it by Marianne Faithful and Dinah Washington, but ommits the recording of the singer/songwriter. Is it that they don't know, or is it that they do not want to know that this is the first out proud record in world history on a homosexual love affair?
I guess it is up to me then to let you hear this historic landmark:

friday worship of fragrance
Sure it's still my favorite, when appropriate. There I often go sooo wrong: when I visit the nerdy dwh, I'm known to floor the yuppies with the vapour of my sweaty armpits, unable to escape my motor jacket. Or get them to raise eyebrows with ripe semen left too long around dick or asshole, but then, had quite a bit of the blue bottle, promoted by my fav movie star, encircling my genitals and neck when engaged in an intense embrace at Lab-oratory or at the Tom of Finland fair.
at home I decided to resort to 1 euro toilet deodoriser, based on what was once my fav fragrance, and main ingredient of the wedding bouquet when I married some 30 years ago.
All in an attempt to uplift my slightly depressed frame of mind,
and you know,
that mix of excrement, B.O. and synthesised chemicals, just made me feel alive again . . .

Those were the innocent haircut 100 and cricket white days . . .
the days of linnen jackets, floppy hats, the real posh cabrio, like the Triumph, MG, Sunbeam Alpine, or Brideshead Revisited, the original series, not the movie, that is.
Inserted just becoz I got all carried away watching the Toronto gay wedding episode of QaF on our out-tv. Yerp, I know we're late here, but we were years ahead with the UK version of the series. And my fav song of HaircutOneHundred was this:
after that I watched "meet Phil" the 1st episode of Pandemoium on Door-Q. He's just as tasty as Nick Heyward, the Haircut singer, and also looks like a friend of mine who goes by the nick scatbarebackHH, so go watch all 17 episodes sofar.

Canal pride epilogue
Had a hefty discussion about the language on this weblog with Martin, and why I, native Dutch, write it in English. It's most of all because I like it and have so many English and USA friends. It also helps me improve my writing skills. Most of Martins critique is valid, and I do correct a lot, each time he sends me a batch of mistakes. But then, I'm not pretending to be a native Englishman educated at Oxbridge, or Harvard, for that matter.
And sometimes I do want to show differences in Euro And Anglo culture. One of those is that we Dutch make longer sentenses. (The Germans make them even longer). We only tend to use long sentences when we try to convey anger or sarcasm. Gerrit Komrij, one of our most respected linguists and columnists, when he was really angry, often wrote columns existing of just one sentence. And if you agree with his argument, you get drawn along and pace yourself with that same anger, ending up completely out of breath. I have written the entries of the past days in that spirit.
I hope the the language purists forgive me.
Poz and Proud had to move their banner because it obstructed view of the no entry for boats police sign. But that proved to be a most fortunate move, becoz it ended up in the central view of the AT5 camera boat, and now was visible for hours to millions instead of thousands.
love takes over:
should this song be in the HHHHoHoHo top 10? It certainly will move up as it was my fav on de Prinsengracht last saturday.
And I must admit the out-tv dancers were the best of all with this song, despite of the nitwit commentary from the AT5 musical buff (?) who felt nobody will ever outdance Stanley Burleson. His information on living with HIV certainly was not updated since the 1st year AZT came around.

Butt
I feel quite embarassed & ashamed about Dutch homo youth: their prudish, tight assed attitude is most detrimental for acceptance of creative sexuality.
Their unrealistic hypocrit ideals of beauty, fidelity, monogamy, safe sex (sex is never safe), promotes the idea that there is no life beyond 40, when their passiv pc social network based lazyness will result in ugly selfish fat asses. Gay youth should start to read my favorite magazine (made in Amsterdam) instead of their own 'boring' expreszosaai:
until recently the buttsite was quite minimal, but now they started blogging too, with gorgeous contributions in style with their casual sexual feel (vid regularmotion)
And on a majority of gay youth, disaproving canalpride,
No, I'm not finished yet:
Luckily I was born in the good old days when we had no 'gay youth'.
Fuck those kids, HOW DARE THEY! putting down our culture! In the old days, if you found out you were homo (all on your own, coz there were no others, there was no internet, gay movies, gay artists, no out-tv and THANK GOD no BNN homo top 100, nobody to give you a bad name, only Albert Mol). so we had to look up the old farts, at the local cruising areas, that we found soon enough. Sure, we did not have a grandiose self image then either, but at least we could not put down all the dare, courage, creativity that had preceeded us. We had no option: we would have been left out in the cold, all alone, we had no option but to learn the tricks of the trade on an old bike, and in return we were cuddled, our drinks were payed, we learned to relax our spincther, and when we knew all that we educated the next generation how to suck, fuck, rim, and how to recognise and what to do about STD's.
And I'm pretty sure I was not as unhappy as this generation, that only wanks in front of a laptop, that has never experienced a fuck by an older wiser patient pervert.
Now they think they just have to follow their mothers example and stay monogamous, only to find out that does not work in the male homo community, we pervs have left behind, as we, in our naivity thought all of us are hunters, always on the chase, the prowl, so we got used to it quick, if we did not want to be dropped as the nerdy morality nitwits, that will never learn how to fuck, becoz we got it in our mind that the entire process of finding out is soooo detrimental to our acceptance.
GET A LIFE, Grow up, and in ten years, let's see if you've wisended up!
If they really think our culture is sooo horrible, then FUCK OFF! join a "christen unie" group to heal you, and don't bother us; don't bother the guys that in the past decades have made it possible that now over half a million people come watch us enjoy ourselves each year in Amsterdam.
If it's not your thing? Stay away: hide your pathetic genitals from yourself and your friends; we sure dont like the JUDAS type: kissing, and then betraying "That's not a good example". We despise you nitwits.
if I have some sympathy left for gay youth, then its for the self-aware 'goth' type we find on milkboyscomment?
