Fine Young Cannibals - Fine Young Cannibals Another album off my wishlist: Fine Young Cannibals (self-titled album). Eccentric, funky, soul-infused new wave with Roland Gift’s iconic voice. Their cover of Suspicious Minds is amazing. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Since 2017, I’ve been using Polar sports watches. After the Polar M600 and Vantage V, it’s now time for the Vantage V3. Not that I plan to become an ultrarunner or go all-in on endurance—no worries. I see it more as motivation for my recovery. #Polar #VantageV #VantageV3

But isn’t this just a foul? What colour would that be? Or is FIFA not even looking? Oh wait ... it is part of the deal. #FIFAWorldCup #ARGEGY #Red

Little River Band - Diamantina Cocktail Found another album from my wishlist—which, by the way, isn’t getting any shorter. Help Is on Its Way is such a fantastic '70s track. The whole album has gorgeous vocal lines. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Phil Collins - ...But Seriously Even though I already bought the CD in the late 80s, I still wanted the vinyl. However, it’s a nice record, especially All of My Life, Find a Way to My Heart and of course I Wish It Would Rain Down. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

I’m so curious if Polar will release a smart ring in the future. I was considering buying an Oura, but now I’m waiting to see what Polar does. Yet, it’s suspiciously quiet on the news front. To be expected late 2026 or 2027? the5krunner.com/2024/02/18/p...

One of the most beautiful live streams is back online: LIVE Brooks Falls - Katmai National Park, Alaska 2026 www.youtube.com/live/J7ZrIDv...

Bryan Adams ❤️🇨🇦 ... But we'll never be the 51st state! youtu.be/LyyFIbaU45w?...

We were to be the champions, my friends And we would have kept on fighting 'til the end We were to be the champions We were to be the champions No time for losers 'Cause we were to be the champions of the world #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup #WC2026 #NEDMAR #NEDvsMAR #Netherlands #Morocco #Remember1988

One year ago today, I stood on the beach, heard a pop and a dent above my knee. Now, a year later, the REVOC/VCB volleyball tournament is canceled due to 40°C heat. I’d have loved to be there—since last time, I was in the ER within minutes. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 100/🧵

This week marks one year since I completely tore my quadriceps, and today I had my final physiotherapy session. With rehabilitation complete, I'll now focus on building overall (body) strength and endurance through eGym training and jogging. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 99/🧵

Duran Duran had been on my list for ages—but last night, it finally happened. What a stunning evening at Spoorpark in Tilburg, and what an incredible concert. That setlist? Absolute perfection. #DuranDuran #Spoorpark #FreeToLove #Moon

A super sweet and nice Father’s Day gift I’ve always wanted: a percolator (Bialetti Moka Express percolator) for home and holidays. Maybe it’s time to plan that Italian coffee-making workshop! ☕️🇮🇹

One for the upcoming long, warm summer evenings. youtu.be/eXvGbWO_DIk?...

Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving Another souvenir from Madrid (Marilians). My eldest daughter introduced me to Olivia Dean’s music—such a warm, lovely music. I think I’ll be hunting down Messy next. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Last week in Madrid: lots of walking and running, and my knee stiffness felt significantly better. Was it the 31–35°C heat, the extra movement, different shoes, or just no work agenda? More research to follow. #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 98/🧵

Texas - The Muscle Shoals Sessions Another souvenir from Madrid last week: found the Muscle Shoals Sessions in Marilians, a beautiful vinyl store. A Spooner Oldham collab. Texas hits—just piano and Sharleen’s voice. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Texas - Ricks road One of the two from the first three Texas LPs I was still hunting for. After Southside, I finally got Rick’s Road. Now just Mothers Heaven left to complete the set. Either way, this one’s a souvenir from Madrid. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

#Madrid #LaLatina

Barbra Streisand - Guilty Found this gorgeous Bee Gees album in a secondhand store—featuring Barbra on vocals. Might sound like a backhanded compliment, but it’s genuinely a fantastic album, including the stunning Woman in Love. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

"Remarkably Bright Creatures" (Netflix) is such a beautiful film—heartwarming, sweet, and deeply moving. Maybe even one of the best I've seen recently. I'm just telling you so you know.

Seriously though, that new Spotify app icon is genuinely terrible. Or am I just too Gen-X now?

It's been 47 weeks since I completely tore my quadriceps. Yet whenever people ask what happened, I still get a stutter and emotional flashbacks for a few seconds. Not because of the pain, but because of the impact of the injury. Recognizable? #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 97/🧵

Covering an artist can be like walking on thin ice. But doing it in front of the artist themselves? That’s next-level pressure. Sting walked in and nailed it. All of this went down in the hall formerly known as the Kennedy Center. youtu.be/tmWYg4W9CaY?...

Janis Ian - Between the lines Do you recognize this: you order a record, it arrives sandwiched between two others. So now I’m listening to this album with the beautiful "At Seventeen" and the title track. A pleasant surprise. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Following concerns about the future supply of liquid helium, there is also good news to report about helium with this new source in Tanzania. panafricanvisions.com/2026/05/tanz...

Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds Listening to The Stones after yesterday’s announcement of Foreign Tongues. Maybe it’s Hackney Diamonds part 2. I don’t care—the Stones are back! #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Why isn’t Willy DeVille’s Miracle (1987) on Spotify? Arguably the best Dire Straits album not by Dire Straits—produced and guitars by Mark Knopfler, featuring also Chet Atkins, Jeff Porcaro, and Vicky Brown. #StreamMiracle #WillyDeVille youtu.be/uO9x_s6qjbQ?...

Switched to Mistral’s Le Chat because I was looking for a European alternative to ChatGPT and Gemini, with more transparency in line with European guidelines. Curious to see how it will work out.

Duran Duran - Arena Really looking forward to the Duran Duran concert in Tilburg, so I picked up this live album. No doubt we’ll be hearing several classic tracks from '84 in '26; Hungry Like the Wolf, Rio, Save a Prayer, Girls on Film. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Week 42 after the surgery and still doing physio, but also slowly building back into running (well… let’s call it jogging). Look how nicely the scar lines up with the stripe of my STOX Energy socks. Don’t tell me I’ve got no sense of style #Quadriceps #Tendon #Tear #sportsinjury #surgery 96/🧵

Bruce Springsteen - Live from Asbury Park 2024 Vacation souvenir of choice: Vinyl. Stopped by Bas' Vinyl (basvinyl.nl) in Winterswijk a week after RSD and had a nice chat with the owner. Walked out with 3+ hours of Springsteen. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp #MustHave

Duran Duran - Duran Duran Checking out this classic 80s debut! This band defines the 'Video Killed the Radio Star' spirit. They were absolute masterminds of the MTV golden age, creating some of the most best cinematic music videos made. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Wet Wet Wet - Popped in Souled Out I’m a huge fan of 80s music—it’s the era I grew up in. Wet Wet Wet was never really on my radar, except for "Sweet Little Mystery." But that side of the 80s is being filled in by my girlfriend. Lucky me! #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #onmyturntable #lp

Je lievelingsnummer (Als ik achterlig - Frans Pollux & Metropole Orkest) staat eindelijk op Spotify… en dan slaat ’ie over als een ouderwetse lp. Blijkbaar kun je Spotify ook gewoon grijs draaien. #Spotify #Frans #Lex #Metropole open.spotify.com/track/6ZKaDA...

Just caught a glimpse of Four Weddings and a Funeral while channel surfing and had to stop for my 90s crush, Andie MacDowell. Sigh..

Recently bought a TWSBI ECO Amazonite EF fountain pen with TWSBI Midnight Blue ink. Really impressed by the beauty of the pen, the transparent reservoir, and the piston filling mechanism. Writes like a fineliner at different angles without smudging. Shout out!
