bluebusmountain

We're all back in our respective homes. I've got at least four thousand things to do at once, so I will have to keep this brief.

But, I will post more pics and a tour wrap-up and how you can get your hands on some tour merch that's left and here's a link to secretly get the new Bluesanct single before Christmas, Mount Eerie - I WHALE 7"...

All this and more... SOON!

Hi all,


I hope everyone of the BlueBusMountain is safe and well at home...

If interested - I did a couple of songs for a radioprogram called 747 live on friday and you can listen to it here:

http://www.ikonrtv.nl/radio747live/program.asp?lIntEntityId=63

Every 20 minutes or so I play a couple of songs with band ( my 'old' band: Ellen Evers and Wim Lecluyse) and solo. Ellen Evers just released a new Puddle Parade tape ( http://www.puddleparade.de.vu/ ). Wim hasn't ):...

The houseshow 3 inch cd-r is available now on Morc Tapes ( http://www.geocities.com/morctapes )... It has songs by vollmar, drekka, soccer committee and me ( with the BlueBus band). The ultimate BlueBusMountain - souvenir!

Oh, we found a new home for the BlueBusMountain, Howl on Wind, Glacial Dreaming,... So, come over! ( from this spring or so, onwards)

Thank you to all who were on board of the BlueBus!

love, love, love,

Annelies.

ps. still waiting for an entry from [NV] and [JV]...

Yesterday was Björk´s 40th Birthday.

This is a photo of ALMAR, the 13 year old genius who opened for us Saturday night here in Reykjavik.

He was incredible, and he played with me in Drekka also that night.

Tonight, we play at Smekkleysa; the record store run by Einar of KUKL and Sugarcubes and Ghostigital. I am going to be very nervous and excited.

There are some amazing new releases here in Iceland, besides Sigur Rós... I will report on them soon.

For now, bless.
Mkl.

I was going to try to post a new photo, but internet access has been scarce the past few days.

I am in an internet cafe in Dresden, called SpiderWWWeb. They are playing Gary Glitter... it´s very weird. I always think of the Cure´s version... oh wait... it´s not Gary Glitter, it´s the JAMS version of the Doctor Who theme... wow, that´s really random.

ANYWAY, in substitution for a new photo, here is an MP3. It is the Drekka remix of Annelies´ new song, recorded live at Theater Kikker, Utrecht, 08 NOV.

Annelies and Drekka - KIKKER INTRO

Enjoy.
Mkl.

Today, we head out for Germany in our big old ghetto sled.

A whole new adventure awaits...

A short update to say that last night we had an AMAZING house show here in Hilversum. Rumour has it evidence will be out on Morc next week... keep an eye out HERE for it.

Tonight, I go on a solo journey to Aalst, Belgium to play a show with Damo Suzuki of CAN! Vollmar and Annelies go to Haarlem, Netherlands to play at the same venue as Scout Niblett!

I predict both shows will be really fun!

More photos and tour news soon.

So, it is November now... There is a dark cloud coming in over Hilversum tonight.

Last night, I totally forgot it was Halloween until almost time for bed.
