Music
My taste in music is rather ... diverse. Depending on the mood I am in, I listen
to all kinds of music. I especially like ballads, but it is just a mish-mash of
pop, rock and even house/dance.
When I am at home, there are few times when there is no music in the background.
I am either listening to some radiostation like
Veronica or Radio 538, or I have
got The Music Factory on for the videos. Next to
these rather 'modern' music-stations, I have got lots of CD's to keep me busy.
My favorite artists include Frank Boeijen, Phil Collins, Soul Asylum,
the Cranberries, Tori Amos, the Gathering
and Van Dik Hout. Most of these names will
be well-known to most people. Since Frank Boeijen and Van Dik Hout only sing
in Dutch, they are probably not very famous outside of the Netherlands.
Another Dutch band worth mentioning is
Grof Geschut. A nice fanpage can be found
here. Right now, one of my favorites is the project of
de poema's.
Frank Boeijen
In my opinion, Frank Boeijen is one of the (if not the) best Dutch
singer/songwriters of all times.

Lyrics Archive
Have you ever wondered "what the @#$@!?" are they singing? Here is
an opportunity to find your favorite lyrics at the
Lyrics archive. Or at least there was an
opportunity, as the site has been (hopefully temporarily) shut down due to
legal battles. As an alternative, go visit
this site. For a good site of Dutch lyrics, consider the excellent
Gigawalt site.
