“The leader is on autopilot, that guy to the left is playing ‘Frustrated Pheasants’, and you’re doodling what your boss would look like if their toupee was on fire”
The COMA app is the ultimate way to end this meeting.

In the footsteps of the great Marvin Gaye

First thing I did when I got invited to Visit Oostende aka Ostend? I played that excellent Marvin Gaye tribute mix by DJ Spinna. First thing you should do? Check out this little documentary above. Somewhere in the ’80-ies, this was the city where the legendary soul singer decided to say farewell to drugs. When watching the video, you will notice he had a great time in this little coastal place. While Marvin was escaping the hectic life in Amsterdam and London, I tried to relive his experiences on the foggy beach of Oostend, in which he recorded the most sexual record of them all; Sexual Healing. Truth is, Oostende is probably not the most fancy place to hang out, but that didn’t stop me from having a good time. The tribute to James Brown and Otis Redding in the infamous Kursaal was, well… legendary, the local beers and food treated me well, and hearing Spinvis singing about Oostende made me feel the soul of this little coastal village. Wait, did I mention they are developing a Marvin Gaye in Ostend app?
