Well, did ya have a good turkey day? Did you sleep late and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade promptly followed by a dog show? Did you eat a year's supply of cranberry relish in one sitting? Did you don your full body armor and brave the Black Friday crowds? And, did you have fun in Equatorial Guinea? Whew! We thought we were the only ones!
Let's all go to the Netherlands! This one came to us from Ellen's dad through an international radio station suggester article thing that you should totally check out. And though it'll be decidedly more Western than what we've been hearing lately, we bet we'll have a great time. It was suggested in a national publication, so it's gotta be pretty good, right?
It's time to get your geography on.
We really hope we don't hear a bunch of American pop, but we fear it may be inevitable. A pretty big portion of the music played on this station is supposed to be in Dutch. It is awesome that a country that small can provide that volume of material. The state of Florida has more people than the Netherlands! Pinky likes the cadence of the Dutch language, and Ellen loves M.C. Escher, who is Dutch.
aside from Don Quixote, who doesn't love windmills?
Pinky went to the Netherlands when he was 16-ish. While he was there he wore leather pants, hugged a random bride, kissed a nanny goat on the lips, accidentally knocked some guy off his bike and he said "SHIESSEEEEEEEEER!!!" as he fell (which he still repeats to this day), salivated over Van Goghs, asked some fella "wooden shoe rather be Dutch?", and pleads the 5th for the rest of his time there. Sounds perfectly wonderful!
We'll also throw this in here just because we can:

Anyway, let's tune in and see what's happening in Amsterdam which is, you guessed it, the capital and largest city in the Netherlands. Enjoy your Monday with music from the Netherlands!
