Bondy appears to be in the stealth mode of his namesake, being confused for someone from Portugal and not recognised at all by Iz on the way to the show! In the first half of the show Leslie gave us a taste of the outro that is included in a forthcoming album release [watch this space! OK, you can stop watching that space now and continue reading >>]. Iz also gave us an album review of Vampire Weekend - a great band indeed!
In the second half of the show Juan gave us a taste of the creative magic from Backlash Productions. There are many more tastes of 100% pure artistic wonder on their website, including the music video for the song from Eedem entitled Close Your Eyes. Ken from The Amsterdam Expats Network told us all about this great website - finally a website targeting expats in Amsterdam, giving us the information tools we need to make the most of our time here in the city of wonder!

Not only did we have director Suzanna Kaes in the studio, but we also had original Rainbow Warrior crew members Martini Gotje (Navigator) and Rien Achterberg (Cook) on the phone from New Zealand.
A very interesting and informative 45 minutes, listen to the whole thing here.

Featured a chat with Monique from Wild Moa pies who actually didn’t bring any pies in. Listen to hear how audibly disappointed we were that we didn’t get our expected breakfast.
We discussed the origin of some Dutch names, explained way the Dutch just need to be loved and how fat-ism has become policy for KLM.
We played Daft Punk, North Atlantic Oscillation, Blur, Bowie and of course some of the best from Edward Lodewijk van Halen
Mike is back next week. But it will all be OK. Just pretend that you really missed him over the last 3 weeks.
