R.I.P. Pete Postlethwaite
Pete Postlethwaite, the man who played Mr. Kobayashi as the right hand of Keyser Sose in the movie Usual Suspects, died yesterday at the age of 64. That character was kind of the inspiration for the name of my blog. Pete Postlethwaite was a gifted actor and had one of the friendliest faces I’ve ever seen. R.I.P.

There You Are!
As promised, you would be my 900th post!
Please do me a favor and tag yourself and your friends!
Thank you all so much for listening. Thanks Wout for doing the presentation and thanks Rik and Dennis for inviting me. Am so sorry I couldn’t be there on time myself, because I got stuck at the Irish bar next door, where the pints of Guinness were just tasting too good… :-P
Cheers!

Yes! It’s friday and we wish you all a very good weekend from Sweden. From the blue marks on the image, to be more precise.
Going to get us some Pripps Blå tonight with some lovely looking Swedish blondes who look just a little bit cuter then these.
Cheers!

Iceland Love
You know sometimes when you get back home from something that was so good, you feel all nostalgic and you so want to go back and all that sort of things. You might even consider living there. I have that feeling now.
That dude in the clip describes it perfectly, Iceland (Airwaves) and its people are just special. You gotta go see it.
We saw some great shows again this year, to name a few: Hercules and Love affair, Moderat, Mount Kimbie, Everything Everything, Gablé, Efterklang , Junnip and the list goes on and on.

Thanks again Darko!
The master of tattoo put some flying objects on my old chest.
Always nice to be there and have good talks about things like Hip Hop, spirituality, science and Hemaworstje, of whom we are big fans (Hope you read it Hema!).

“The hippest long weekend on the annual music-festival calendar”
That’s what David Frickle from Rolling Stone has to say about Iceland Airwaves. And it wouldn’t be hip without the Archibald Kobayashi crew you know… so vulcano’s and geysers, here were we come once more! Can’t wait to dive into the blue lagoon again…
Anyone feel like joining? Still some tickets left.

It Has Begun!
It has begun. Without doubt the best week of the year in our sweet little hometown. Incubate festival is what I am talking about.
Incubate is the annual celebration of independent culture in Tilburg, the Netherlands. It is a festival exhibiting a diverse view on indie culture as a whole, including music, contemporary dance, film and visual arts. It brings more than 200 cutting edge artists in an intimate context to an international audience. Black metal next to free jazz. Refreshing art next to inspiring debate.
Please take some time to browse their website because it’s a killer line-up this year. To name a few: Neon Indian, Zola Jesus, Women, Driver Driver, Vindicatrix, Richard Young, City Boys, Pokemachine, Neil Landstrumm, Black Mountain, etc tc etc (Click top image for the online festival guide)
Oh, and aside from sponsoring this event (website and identity) I will be deejaying as well. Come to the official opening at the Duvelhok on thursday if you dig 80’s block party style Hip Hop. We’re going to blow up the roof!
Aaaaand, almost forgot, part of my office is going to be a venue. It will host the work of British visual artist Thomas I’Anson. Just ring my doorbell!
Make sure you get there because it is going to be one special kind of week.

What A Handsome Man…

I remember that day so well. Bought myself a nice Seiko watch and then this guy took a picture of me!

Archie’s New Office!
We are très happy!
About a year and a half ago my dear business partner and I fell madly in love with the building you see on your right. Thought about it hard and good before we decided to buy the property some time ago. Last Friday it finally was D-day: we got the keys.
From august the 14th one of our companies will operate from this building, and… me, Archibald, will hold office there as well! Find me in the window(s) to see where.
Can’t wait. To be continued.

Archie loves New York!
And New York loves Archie, because today we are delighted to say a very warm welcome to the first woman in our crew: Erin from New York!
Erin is actually a big mystery to us. Some time ago she mailed us saying she loved our blog a lot and that she wanted to write for us. Some research revealed she is a photographer and writer from NYC, running a blog with very interesting stuff herself. Since we thought it was time a woman came amongst us to bring back some balance, we gave it a go and welcomed her in our team.
Zett’m op Erin!
