George Welling
2007/02/08 filed under /webEvery now and then, there's a need to find horrible songs from the past. Think Vanilla Ice, Kriss Kross, Jason Donovan, and many many others. I tried to top this by old Dutch songs, and went searching for "Brandend Zand", a Dutch song by Anneke Grönloh
But searching for just the title and "mp3" led me to the page of George Welling
Soon I realized this guy is awesome! Let's look at his page translated (by babelfish.yahoo.com).
First of all, the title of his CD is "Erg he", which is hard to translate, but I hope I can catch it with: "Bad, ain't it?". It's always good to see an artist who - unlike many rappers - think their music isn't all that. Ok, agreed, it's not the best singer ever, but neither is Wesley Willis (another one of my heroes).
The fun part of George's site though, is that you can browse each directory. That led me to his pictures of Indonesia
Those images are quite recent and it's funny to see him take almost the same trip as I did (I have never been to Aceh (?) nor to the top of the Bromo before though). Let's compare some pictures (I hope he doesn't mind me mirroring smaller copies of his images, if so, George, let me know and I'll remove them from my server!).

Now, for those who wondered. Here is the original Brandend Zand (by Anneke) and the cover by George
