Ah...times like these that I long for DSL. |
| Deacon Fan 26.03.2007 23:29 |
Nice job guys. Of course I can't understand it but it's very well-made. Totally destroys my mental image of Pim being a bitter old Asian woman though. That sounds like our Marial/vy/-B on the female vocals. |
| Erin 27.03.2007 00:27 |
Anyone care to translate, yo? |
| Pim Derks 27.03.2007 04:23 |

I can just see the setlist for next year's tour: It's a Beautiful Day (Remix) Helden van de Straat Reaching Out ... Great job, fellas. But can you do opera and heavy metal? :D V. |
| Pim Derks 27.03.2007 04:54 |
The single already includes a heavy metal/rock mix :D |
| FriedChicken 27.03.2007 05:13 |
And we did The Pim & Niek Rhapsody And we're working on a rock opera about 2 losers who meet each other and form the most genial duo of all time. So yeah, it's about us. |
| Dan C. 27.03.2007 06:07 |
Wow. :| You guys are great. ;) |
| iGSM 27.03.2007 06:18 |
I would buy that. |

Props to Pim & Niek, je weets |
| thomasquinn 32989 27.03.2007 08:23 |
Rather over-priced for a self-released single though... |
| FriedChicken 27.03.2007 08:33 |
I don't think it is. 1,50 euros for an mp3. Thats overpriced! Or a 40 year old cd still being sold for 25 euro's (Beatles for example). We did everything ourself in the course of 6 months, it has 4 tracks, a videoclip on the cd, a 8 page booklet, all full colour. And the cd looks great as well. Imagine if we had to hire a photographer, a cover art designer, a cameraman, a director and so on. It would've been much expensive. But unfortunatly getting cds pressed is very expensive. So when we ask 7,50 + postal costs we don't make any profit in the end |
| Pim Derks 27.03.2007 09:09 |
Besides. Who's talking. ThomasQuinn, the guy who tried to sell a CD-R of Silver Salmon as an "acetate promo". The guy who tried to sell the Hot Space demos as a "Queen on Fire" promo. |

Hahahaha, yes, I've seen this music video!!!! :D :D :D Well done guys! You rock, or shall I say, "You homies are fresh from the hood!!!" :D |
| Saif 27.03.2007 12:34 |
Haha, really funny. I understood it too, and that made it funnier...hahahahaha.... |
| QueenCool 27.03.2007 13:26 |
hihi the one on the video with the red pants is very cute :D great song but it's not recorded while they were making the video was it? bad:( |

If you see what's inside those red pants you wouldn't call it cute for sure... |

For news, interviews, downloads and to order your copy of Helden van deStraat go to the official website: link So far it's still in Dutch, but we will translate it to English as well. Or visit the Big Playah P. Skillz & Pimptastic N. Tickle MySpace at: link |

"But unfortunatly getting cds pressed is very expensive. So when we ask 7,50 + postal costs we don't make any profit in the end" 500 pressed cd's in full-colour wallet with full-colour print on the discs will cost you...866,32 all in. I don't see how that equals 7,50. Face it, you made a mistake. |
| YourValentine 28.03.2007 09:48 |
It's the content you pay for - not just the production costs. I think it's a bargain. |

| Pim Derks 28.03.2007 10:42 |
"500 pressed cd's in full-colour wallet with full-colour print on the discs will cost you...866,32 all in." Exactly. 500. We had 50 cd's made because no way we'd be able to sell 500 (yet). Small orders are always more expensive. CD including 3 color print: 2.5 euros. Full-colour artwork/inserts: 2.5 euros. Jewelcases: 40 cents. Shipping + padded enveloppe: 2 euros. Countless hours of work: priceless The above = 7.40 euros. The rest of the money goes to stuff like the rental of the video-cam, gas for the car (driving to the filming location, picking up our camera man, our outfits etc.). You're right - if we ordered 500 or 1000 copies we could've put a lower price-tag on the CD. But until the thing gets released internationally, that won't happen. Tip: Order a copy anyway and sell it on Marktplaats as an exclusive acetate! You're into that kind of thing I think. |

So, how many orders can we put down? There's still 5 or 6 copies left. For those who order in the next week we'll throw in dedicated signatures on the booklet + 2 free P&N postcards! |
| YourValentine 30.03.2007 07:16 |
I want the signatures, too - I can do without the postcards, though:) |
| FriedChicken 30.03.2007 12:50 |
We will sign your cd too, of course :D |
| FriedChicken 02.04.2007 07:24 |
On April 1st Pim & Niek fooled the whole city of Nijmegen by appearing as Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet in the shopping centre. Check it out on Youtube: link Of course Sinterklaas is a Dutch/Belgian holiday on the 5th of December. So all the people were quite surprised to see that Sint & Piet were still in the county. They missed the boat and they have to wait till December to go back to Spain again We also had a political statement. The current discussion about having a double nationality saddened Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet, because they have both the Spanish and Dutch nationality. When this isn't allowed anymore it will be the end of this family holiday. |
| The Mir@cle 02.04.2007 08:03 |
There are actually more countries which celebrate Sinterklaas, like Romania (Mos Nicolae). They don't know the 'Zwarte Pieten' (Black Pete's) though. xD |
| FriedChicken 02.04.2007 08:08 |
Santa Clause is also taken from Sinterklaas :) |
| eenaweena 02.04.2007 09:01 |
nice video. santa claus/sinterklaas in april? XD |
| Erin 02.04.2007 11:50 |
If Sinterklaas is Santa, what is Zwarte Piet supposed to do? I can't help but think what would happen if I was to paint myself black and walk around here. I would get a major ass kicking! ;-) |

Erin wrote: If Sinterklaas is Santa, what is Zwarte Piet supposed to do? I can't help but think what would happen if I was to paint myself black and walk around here. I would get a major ass kicking! ;-)Sinterklaas isn't Santa... but both are based on the same historical person I guess. Those 'Zware Pieten' is something typical Dutch. I think it has to do with our colonial history. The black person is the assistant of Sinterklaas. It's a bit racist from a certain point of view, although the little kids won’t see it like that anyway. Almost forgot to say but... great video guys! :D |
| its_a_hard_life 26994 02.04.2007 16:13 |
LMAO!!! Whos who in the costumes? |
| Pim Derks 02.04.2007 17:11 |
Niek is Zwarte Piet, I'm Sinterklaas :D |
