The Black List

Unfortunately, the Black List on Radio 6 has officialy played their last notes. Don't worry, next year a brand new one. And no, this isn't some sort of boycot list, about people/things that are a total no-go, but this is a list of black music. Including some white artists of course because Joss Stone, Adele and Kyteman, that's true soul and jazz as well. All the music made me feel so good, I just wanted to close my eyes and sing, imagening I was at North Sea Jazz or in some warm country. In reality, I was just sitting with my lazy ass on the couch, but that was fine too, this music makes you feel happy despite the terrible weather. I intend to listen to Radio 6 a bit more often, hell yeah I'm going to do.
Here's the top 10, to give you an impression of the magnificent music that's in the list:

1. Otis Redding -(Sittin' on) The dock of the bay
2. Marvin Gaye - What's going on
3. Aretha Franklin - You make me feel like a natural woman
4. Miles Davis - So what
5. Bill Withers - Ain't no sunshine
6. Curtis Mayfield - Move on up
7. Adele - Rolling in the deep
8. Sam Cooke - A change is gonna come
9. Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight train to Georgia
10. Kyteman - Sorry

I won two tickets to the concert of M.I.A. next Thursday in Paradiso!

I'd totally forgotten about the fact that I had filled it in already.

It was a contest of Diesel, you could win 2 tickets for M.I.A. and all you had to do was motivate why YOU had to win. Mostly, I don't like this kind of contests, cause it's hard to stand out. But this time I though, whatever, let's just do it.
So I'd written a little story about why M.I.A. inspires and that M.I.A. is a strong woman with a lot of confidence, who knows what she wants. This is also what Diesel wants to show with it's campaign 'Be Stupid' in my opinion. So I figured those two matches each other and they both inspire me.
So I advise you to respond on someones ego when you join such a contest. Always works! (:

I'm looking forward to next thursday, Amsterdam always does me good and a free concert, what else do you wish for?
