Martijn Vreugde's Hangout

About this site

Hi, I'm Martijn Vreugde this is a collection of my rambling thoughts on modern media, inspirational design and... well pretty much anything I found interesting enough to share with you fine upstanding folks of the internet.

The hypnotic LANA DEL REY

Really can’t stop listening to this girl. I remember when I considered my self a Hard Rock guy, what happened. Just hypnotic, I could so easily fall asleep listning to this softly drifting in the background while memories collude to infiltrate my dreams of girls that were loved and lost.

The liquor on you lips makes you Dangerous…

Animation, Old style film, Black & White… and a sultry voice what more could you want.

First time I’ve heard of Lana Del Rey but wow, what a voice. There is a Youtube Mix of her if you like to check her out. Though I should mention that she has a rather sad soft melodic style, most if not all are about love and usually tragic. So this won’t be played in any dance club anytime soon but I more a dark smoke filled whiskey lounge type blues joint… you know my kinda place.
