Pink Lloyd!

On saturday the 25th of november students of Remco's 2006 TheatreSports Course performed a brilliant improv show in the Lloyd Meeting Room of the Amsterdam Lloyd Hotel. At a quarter past eight the students energetically entered the stage ('Let me entertain you' - R. Williams). They introduced themselves to the audience as members of the Pink Lloyd Group. And -yep- they all wore pink. During a one hour show the students performed a potpourri of dynamic improvised sketches. Some of the highlights of the evening were the 'alternative' fairy tale and the song contest, where the students had to sing songs from different countries. As members of the Pink Lloyd Band, PaQ and I were very glad to get the opportunity to make a lot of sophisticated, noisy and corny songs and sounds. It was fun playing and being a part of the Pink Lloyd Show. And that is an important reason why I am in favour of an exciting sequel next year.

New Cool Collective on TV

In my opinion one of the greatest contemporary jazz bands is the New Cool Collective (NCC). I've seen both the NCC and NCC Big Band several times and -luckily- these performances remain energetic and fun to watch and listen to. On YouTube I accidently found a video clip of a NCC performance. Unfortunately you only can see an excerpt of this performance. But still it is a clip worth looking at.

Fun Cow

My favorite animal is a cow. Cows look good, are intelligent, have wit and show curiosity. Pacdancai composed and produced an interesting hommage to cows entitled Fun Cow. Fun Cow is a funky creation, thus energetic. I recommend the song to those who need some energy and positive fibrations. If you're a bit grumpy, try Fun Cow!
