Tarantino's Editor is Dead.

Some really sad news to wake up with: Sally Menke, Quentin Tarantino's editor for all of his movies (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, the Kill Bill double feature, DeathProof and Inglourious Basterds) passed away yesterday.
this is an video about Sally, skip to 2:10!


 The LA Times reports the 56 year-old editor was found dead in the Beachwood Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles presumably succumbing to the record heat that struck the city yesterday.

Menke had gone jogging in the morning, but her friends began worrying when she hadn't returned home later in the evening. Though not confirmed it is believed the stagnant heat caused to to collapse and fall into a nearby ravine. Her body was found around 2am this morning with her dog sitting loyally at her side. She was currently hard at work on editing Michel Gondry's big screen take on The Green Hornet( with Seth Rogen!), so it's unclear who will take over her responsibilities. 

Rest in Peace.

Maxim+Amsterdam+Graffiti+Cameraphone=AWESOME

This is a (very short) video containing photos I took last saturday, It shows my friend Maxim in Amsterdam. We had a great time, buying records and smokin' a doobie. We ran into Jan-Jaap van der Wal( a famous Dutch comedian) and went to the Zipper, my favourite clothing store. We also went to the best coffeeshop of Amsterdam, " de tweede kamer" where we found our friends Dami and Ruud. It was a great day.









(The music is from Flight Of the Conchords, a great show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZcYPEszN8&feature=related )

Outkast- Mighty ''O''

Today I took the train from Hoevelaken( my mother's place) to Almere-Stad( my father's place). I had to wait in Hilversum for 26 minutes, so I decided to visit 't Oor, a small record store. Bone broke as I was, I knew I couldn't buy anything, but it's never a bad thing to be surrounded by records, is it?

Upon entering, I saw this sign saying '12 inches.' Man, I love 12 inches. But when I checked about 2/3 of it, I didn't see anything I loved... Fedde Le Grand was there, but I'm not really into him, so that was a no-go. I kept looking, and there it was: Outkast- Mighty ''O''.
Fuck yeah, Outkast may just be the best hiphop-thing out there, and the record was only 3 euro's! I didn't look any further, I grabbed my wallet, payed for it and went back to the station.
There, I ran into a friend of mine, Erik aka Skeerik aka 'Anja kan uw oproep niet beantwoorden' (Dutch for: Anja can't come to the phone right now.) unfortunaly, we couldn't chat long, because my train was there.

Back to the Mighty "O", it's awesome, and I'll tell you why:

1. the beat. it's easy to sing along with, and it's stuck in my head for hours now.( ho di ho di ho di do!)

2. the lyrics. "They only like my armor, and because I'm a performer, they wanna read one magizine and think they gettin' warmer, they only getting colder..."  ' nough said.

3. that insane, typical Outkast flow.

anyway, here's the song:

(I took all the photo's myself.)

friends, freaks and other folks

Hi friends, freaks and other fuckers. This is my blog. Who I am? I am Mickey. Simple, right?
anyway, I am here to show you my taste in music,movies and (way) more. This is how it will go down:
1. I will buy something, like a VHS of 'David Bowie's Serious Moonlight.' I will take a picture, a screenshot and I will watch the whole thing (twice!) After I have done that, I will review it, and share it with you guys.
2. I will stumble upon something on the internet, in the newspapers or on the streets. When I like it, and I think you will like it, I shall share it with you.
3. I ( or someone I know) will make something, a song or a drawing, whatever. When I'm happy with it, I will upload it here so you can dig it ( or not :P )
4. Whenever I experience something weird, or something random, I will share that too!
peace out.
