Suburbs (Den Haag/Voorburg), live on air.
Recorded: October 15th 1999. Studio 1 & editorial room.
Tracks: Rollercoaster/Slow-Motion Suicide/Labyrinth/Land Of The Lunatics/City Lights/Fearless.
Note:After doing an Instore across the market, to promote their then brandnew album ‘Land Of The Lunatics’, they carried their stuff to the other side and performed live in the show. At that time Studio 2 wasn’t constructed the way it is now, so I had to use loads of extended cables and alternative channeling to get a less than descent sound on air. Being helped out by a collegue-technician, I ran to and from the band and the studio, to lay more cables, re-up mikes and doing an interview. Everybody involved still work on a revenge for this very … ehhh … experimental setup.

Gather Roses, July 6th 2001.
Gather Roses (Groningen/Gouda), live on air.
Recorded: July 6th 2001.
Tracks: Crack/Slave.
Note: After losing touch for some years, I reconnected with former band-mate Roos Galjaard and invited her to come to the studio for an interview. Initially invited former bass-player Tycho Hoogstraten to join in for a short reunion-set as well, but he declined. So we changed plans and turned it into an interview on Roos’ new band ‘Gather Roses’, who was on the virge of releasing a new CD. To spice things up, she also recorded two old ‘Accidental Coitus-s’ songs: ‘Slave’ was co-written by Roos and me, while ‘Crack’ was penned for the bigger part by Tycho. This set made her appear at ‘De Goudse afrekening’ in december of that year.

(Heideroosjes-cover)/Judy Is A Punk/Any Way You Want It/I Wanna Be Sedated/Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue/Beat On The Brat/Blitzkrieg Bop/Outro.
Note: Great, hilarious ‘Ramones’ coveract by Marcel and Menno Bizarro, two guys who dressed up like the Ramones used to do when perform. Instead of standard backline, they used an acoustic 12-stringged guitar and a tambourine instead, making the set more than just hilarious. They performed throughout the country and beyond, meeting De Dee ramone somewhewre on the road.
This night Menno had a bad cough, so his input vocally was quite limited. Which didn’t harm the set anyway! The soundcheck recording was send to punkband ‘De Heideroosjes’ and got the band invited to perform during the festive 12,5 years party, thrown at ‘Melkweg’ Amsterdam later that year.
