Today, Feb.7, it is exactly 40 years ago that Shocking Blue's 'Venus' reached the no.1-position in the American Billboard Hot 100. It was the very first time that a pop record from Holland topped that chart. Venus was a number one THREE times: First in it's original version, in 198

To those who never forget

Today, here in Madrid at 6:14 A. M., the radio station SER has opened its most important news bulletin with the song Venus by Shocking Blue as tribute, because today, 5 February 2010 is the 40th anniversary of Venus as number One in 40 Top Spanish in 1970, where it remained for several weeks.
SER is a Spanish radio network with national and international broadcast, with an audience of more than 5 million people every day, only in Spain.

I think it'sa good tribute to the music of Sh… Continue

Mariska and her sister


A very nice picture of a young Mariska (on the right with the curly hair) and her sister. As you see, Mariska has only eyes for the mobile (or something like that) her sister holds in her hand, and therefore wants to grab it. Thanks… Continue

Izaak en John

Eind januari 2010

Ik heb Hans Evers van Platenclub Utrecht benaderd en hem gevraagd of er iets met het 1ste singeltje van Mariska gedaan gaat/kan worden.
Hij laat mij weten dat er een plannen zijn om er een vinylsingel van te maken.
Dat zou nog even duren tot het af is, ze moeten de geluidskwaliteit verbeteren, het hoesje nog ontwerpen. Waarschijnlijk is het eind januari 2010 dan klaar.
Ik word op de hoogte gehouden, lijkt me geweldig om dat plaatje te horen en zeker in huis te krijgen.

Hieronder is het e.mail a… Continue

Pim Koopman

The producer of Shocking Blue's 80's single "The jury and the judge" died yesterday (on the 23th of November) on a heart attack. He also was the drummer of the Dutch band Kayak. That day he was about to go to the funeral service of the bass player of Diesel (another Dutch band).
Some years ago we met him, and talked about the realization of 'The jury and the judge', and how rude Robbie behaved in the studio towards our dearest Mariska. Pim was such a nice guy, and a great musician/producer. Mari… Continue

We kunnen weer stemmen!!!

Het is weer zover, de Top 2000 is in aantocht. Ga naar de Top 2000 site en stem op je favorieten!
Er is ook een mogelijkheid om vijf extra nummers te noemen die niet in 'hun' lijst voorkomen, dus zelf heb ik gekozen voor de (solo)nummers van Mariska, zoals 'Tell it like it is' en 'Neon City' (Mistral).

Laat je horen... Shocking Blue kan en moet gewoon hoger eindigen!

"Best of"-week bij Radio 2

Kijk op de site van Radio 2 (http://www.radio2.nl/page//nieuwsitem/114128/Vraag%20je%20favoriete%20plaatjes%20aan!) en kies per decennium een plaat uit. Je begrijpt dat ik gekozen heb voor zowel Shocking Blue als Mariska solo. Ook de 80's ben ik niet vergeten; wat dacht je van 'The jury and the judge' (1986), 'He's not there' (1993), en Mariska's 'Gipsy Heart' cd. Keuze genoeg.

Vanzelfsprekend gaat het om je eigen keuze, je eigen favorieten (van welke artiest dan ook). Veel plezier en laat je h… Continue

Mariska indeed had forgotten some lines in the middle part of Mighty Joe, due to fatigue. It was a long flight, there's a difference in time (jet-lag), they were in Japan for the first time, and they started recording the show that very first night.…

Is het mogelijk om een CD/MP3 te krijgen van het 'verzamelde werk' van Mariska?

No, I don't think it's right. You'll also need to buy "Singles A's and B's" 2CD compilation. You'll have all the tracks, but Ham contains different mixes, that are different to Dream On Dreamer. This Ham CD have all mixes from Dream On Dreamer too.

Hi all, I managed to buy the Cd "Dream on dreamer/Good times", and I think, together with "Inkpot/Atilla" you have all the tracks that are on the Ham-special CD.

By the way, the painting is 122 x 81 cm, so pretty large. Het schilderij is 122 x 81 cm, dus behoorlijk groot.
