Papa Yabo - Between The Crash And The Debris
YouTube video by Martijn Hover Papa Yabo - Between The Crash And The Debris

This song started life as a simple mandolin riff. The lyrics, which I wrote some time ago, are kind of poetic, I think. Personally, I think this song deserves more than the handful of views I normally get. πŸ™‚

This is a little song in honour and loving memory of my internet friend Nicky. In the words of my favourite author, Sir Terry Pratchett: GNU, Nicky.

Ik denk dat de term "terrorisme" gereserveerd is voor zulke daden als die een politieke achtergrond hebben. Iemand die zoiets doet omdat hij in een psychotische fase "stemmen" gehoord heeft die hem opdroegen dat te doen, om maar iets te noemen, is geen "terrorist".

This has nothing to do with "darwinism". Just like "national socialism" has nothing to do with "socialism".

Papa Yabo - Change In The Ocean
YouTube video by Martijn Hover Papa Yabo - Change In The Ocean

Not your traditional 12-bar chord progression, but based on an old blues song nonetheless. The outro guitar solo was played on an Eastwood baritone guitar (named β€œClint” for obvious reasons) tuned down to A and uses the dominant Phrygian scale.

Replacing a total dumbass like Vance with "AI" might not be such a bad idea though. It can't be any stupider than he is...

Het is nauwelijks voorstelbaar, maar deze trien is mogelijk nog dommer dan Trump. Dat zo'n stuk onbenul het tot minister kan schoppen, is geen compliment voor ons land.

What this is, is a guy who thinks he's some kind of Tony Stark, whereas in reality he's a sad excsue for a Bond villain - and a terribly stupid and incompetent one at that.

Actually witches usually weren't burned. Burning was the go-to punishment for "heresy".
And although it was usually women who were convicted of witchcraft, it wasn't exclusively women. There were actually regions in Europe where more men than women were the victims.

Actually, the billionaires are the "parasite class" that bleeds our societies and economies dry without offering anything of value in return.

Het openbare zwembad verdwijnt op veel plaatsen – maar niet in Almere Zwembaden: Bijna honderd openbare zwembaden verdwenen de laatste tien jaar. In het Limburgse Heuvelland zijn wachtlijsten voor zwemles opgelopen tot anderhalf jaar. β€žDit gaat ten koste van de zwemvaar...

Ook zwemmen is een linkse hobby waar geen geld aan mag worden uitgegeven: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/... "Het openbare zwembad verdwijnt op veel plaatsen – maar niet in Almere"
