New Black Box Revelation video: Love, Love is on My Mind
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music News, Music Video on March 21st, 2009
The life of a rock star can be hard… Imagine hanging upside down for a few hours while recording a new music video. Jan Paternoster, singer of The Black Box Revelation, had to go through it for their great new clip Love, Love is on My Mind:
Actually this is the second clip The Black Box Revelation releases for Love, Love is on My Mind. But the first one looked a little less professional if you ask us:
Rock on…
Lyrics:
Talking, kissing that eve
She was hot, she was sweet
I had a drink in the bar
Took a walk on the street
And later on that night, I went back home
When I was back home,
I heard her voice
She wasn’t talking to me
But through the telephone
She left a message on my answering machineIt said
Well, love, love is on my mind
Love, love, love makes me feel alive
The moment I met you, the place, the time
Love, love was already on my mind
The one thing I live for
It’s like my gasolineSo we met again
I dressed up real good
Her read lips, red boots
We were kissing again
And then late that night she went home with me
And at my place
She had dinner with me
Romantic candle lights
Classic tunes
The master bedroom Wanted to be satisfied
And she saidWell love, love, is on my mind
Love, love love makes me feel alive
The moment I met you, that place, the time
Love, love was already on my mind
The one thing I live for
It’s like my gasolineLove, love, is on my mind
Love, love love makes me feel alive
The moment I met you, that place, the time
Love, love was already on my mind
The one thing I live for
It’s like my gasoline

Stijn goes social: Password
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music Video on March 18th, 2009
Stijn is returning to his basics, the elektrofunk we know from his 2004 debut album.
Enjoy the dirty beats on his new single Password where Stijn discovers The Social Web (MySpace, facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, PhotoBucket, …):
Lyrics:
I bet you want the password, bet you wanna log in?
I bet you want the password, said you wanna log in?Ready Baby? Nothing’s for free
Wanna login, wanna get with me
You can dial the number, I won’t pick up the phone
Pick it up while I
Doing this, this and that
Think about the password, that’s where it’s at
Scrolling down menus, wasting our time
Browsing your profile while you’re checking mineI bet you want the password, bet you wanna log in?
I bet you want the password, said you wanna log in?Myspacing, Facebooking
Tell me is it true you’re LinkedIn and good-looking?
Won’t you let me put my Flickr in your Photobucket?
We’ll make a slideshow and afterwards we’ll blog it
Props and kudos, laughing out loud
Meet me in the chat room before I log out
Is it clicking with you, or are you clicking on me?
Virtual gifts don’t mean a schnitzel to meI bet you want the password, bet you wanna log in?
I bet you want the password, said you wanna log in?Play it!

FFWD to the past: The Kids
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, FFWD to the Past on March 15th, 2009
The Kids were the first Belgian punk band ever. Formed as Crash in 1976, they quickly changed their name to The Kids under influence of the punk movement in the UK. Lead singer Ludo Mariman was responsible for most of the songs and still is the face of The Kids.
During the last years of the seventies, the band had achieved a cult status in Belgium and during the early eighties, they managed to catch some international attention. A nice to know fact is that the bass player Danny Dehaes was only twelve when the group started an still needed to attend school every day. So after a gig, the other Kids just dropped him off at school. Now if that isn’t rock-and-roll…
Most of the LP’s The Kids released are now real collector items. Especially in the US, their albums are much sought after in the punk scene. Every once in a while, a real The Kids LP is sold on eBay and most of the time the new owner needs to pay a significant ammount of money for it.
The band split up in 1985, but decided to give it another go in 1996. After the reunion, The Kids became pretty famous in the US, Japan and Canada.
Most famous and classic The Kids song is There Will Be No Next Time:
But Fascist Cop is without any doubt a little more punk:
And to finish, the Kids’ first television appearance in 1978:
The Kids discography:
- The Kids (1978)
- Naughty Kids (1978)
- Living In The 20th Century (1980)
- Blackout (1981)
- If The Kids… (live) (1982)
- Gotcha! (1985)
New music video for Milow – Out of My Hands
Posted by JayAre in Big in Belgium, Music Video on March 14th, 2009
Today Milow released his new music video for the song Out Of My Hands from the album Coming of Age. The video was shot in Iceland on February 11 & 12. And there is an interesting story about both the song and the video.
Milow is said to have written the song for a girl who died of cancer. Her parents asked Milow to write a song for her and by the time he contacted them she had already passed away. The great personality Milow is, he decided to fulfill her wish and wrote the song Out of My Hands.
As said before, the video for Out of My Hands was shot in Iceland. On their way to the video shoot, a team of 5 people including Milow himself had a car accident during a blizzard. By wonder, nobody was injured. You can watch pictures from the accident on Milow’s dutch blog.
And now the most important bit of this post, the new Milow music video for Out of My Hands:
Listen to Out of My Hands by Milow on Last.fm.
Lyrics:
I made the call just too late
At the end of May
I just thought I could wait
For one more day
In the time that passed
You went down so fast
You went down so fastOut of my reach, out of my hands
I didn’t understand
I would have changed all my plansAn empty house, a setting sun
At four AM
Some battles fought are battles won
But this ain’t one of them
One more shadow cast
You went down so fast
You went down so fastOut of my reach, out of my hands
I didn’t understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
Out of my reach, out of my handsNow the leaves are turning brown
I watch ‘em blow
Where the earth pulls them down
I let you go
As your breath unwinds
Through the restless pinesOut of my reach, out of my hands
I didn’t understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn’t understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
