* mauro: let me know
(2001, cdsingle, bel, play it again sam pias 941.0027.124)
* mauro: songs from a bad hat (1)
(2001, cd, bel, play it again sam pias 941.00110.020)
belgium's best kept musical secret, mauro pawlowski, has a solo album out.
this is nothing like his previous project (the evil superstars). this is
glamour-guitar-seventies-like rock. it makes you wonder where you've heard
this before, but you won't be able put a finger on it. great album. 'let
me know' is the second single taken from this album. it includes a
non-album bonus track called 'welcome tune'. mauro will be playing a
concert in antwerp in a couple of days. i'll be there.
* don campau: don't be so serious
(1994, k7, usa, private release)
don campau is a home-taper. his 1994 release "don't be so serious" is
subtitled "oddballs & outtakes" and that exactly what it is. the album is a
collection of recordings don campau did with other artists; recordings that
did not fit on his other releases. the tape kicks off with an excellent,
ripping version of 'my guitar wants to kill your mama' (frank zappa). the
entire album sounds very good. the 'collection'-aspect gives it a great
variety and the total sounds very fresh. featuring eric muhs, charles
laurel, dino dimuro, peter and john hinds and others. I like it a lot.

from 2001/02/10 until 2001/03/04 paintings by don van vliet were exposed in
sint niklaas, belgium. the (group) expo was called "rockin' art" and was
quite impressive. (same goes for the catalogue). I for one was very glad
that I had a van vliet expo in my back-yard (well, a one-hour drive
actually) so I visited it a couple of times. linked with the expo, some very
interesting concerts were organised as well. I saw jazzno trauma and gary
lucas, and both were very satisfying. gary lucas seemed rather nervous but
played an excellent set (including various captain beefheart classics) mixed
with great stories about his time with don van vliet.
