Last year Here comes the flood won the XS4ALL award for best blog. There is no money involved, not even an ugly award that can gather dust on a shelf in the shed. However, you have to pick the next winner on April 1st (no joke). So I spend far too much time wading through tons of brain-dead blogs (think: pix of the kids, the building of new a home, getting in touch with your inner self) and I compiled a shortlist. A really short list, in fact. This year's winner is:
Horizontaal Motorblog
It's in Dutch, it's about motorcycles and it's the addendum to the horizon-taal.nl website. They have tweaked and tuned the blog to get a same look and-feel as the main website. It is written with the tongue firmly in cheek and updated regularly. Congratulations and best of of luck picking a winner on April 1st, 2009.
It's would have kinda obvious to post Born To Be Wild, so here are a couple of tracks that were inspired by those loud machines that are a bitch to drive in bad weather.
