Hai folks, It's a cold spring so far, but that doesn't bother me at all. As long as the sun comes up......and if there's any music that will cure your spring fatigue...
The new stuff has been listened to and played on various radio and to round it off it has been reviewed. I hope more will follow, but there so much going on in musicland, so I have to be happy by whatever that's been giving me. Feedback.
Well here are some really nice words again (his eight review of my albums) from Nathan Norgel, placed in this german, cultural online magazine Wasser-Prawda
In german:
Wenn der Frühling kommt, dann erscheinen nicht nur die Schwalben aus
dem Süden. Auch neue Musik des Niederländers Joost van Dinther aka Joos
TVD darf man erwarten. Sein neues Album Sagitario erfüllt die
Erwartungen aufs Schönste.
Auf den Listen der Orte, die besungen werden, taucht einer eigentlich
zu selten auf. In "Private Scene" singt JoosTVD das Lob der Toilette.
Denn das ist einer der wenigen Plätze, wo man noch wirklich allein sein
kann. Auch Psychopharmaka, hektische Freundinnen, das Leben der Reichen
in Hollowood oder andere Themen der Gegenwart liefern dem Niederländer
Stoff für äußerst humorvolle oder sarkastische Lieder.
Musikalisch bietet Sagitario wieder die komplette Bandbreite zwischen
Jazz, Funk, Rock, Cabaret und Nonsense. Wer JoosTVD bislang noch nicht
kennen sollte: man kann ihn wirklich nicht klassifizieren. Was der
Songwriter und Multiinstrumentalist Jahr für Jahr allein in seinem
Studio zusammenrührt, ist eine Kur gegen jegliche schlechte Laune oder
Frühjahrsmüdigkeit.
In english (not great these translations):
When spring comes, not only the swallows appear from the south. Also new music from the Dutch Joost van Dinther aka Joos TVD can be expected. His new album Sagitario fulfills the expectations most beautifully. On the lists of the places, which are sung, one appears actually too rarely. In 'Private Scene' JoosTVD sings the praise of the toilet. Because this is one of the few places where you can be really alone. Even psychopharmaceuticals, hectic friends, the lives of the rich in Hollowood, or other contemporary subjects provide the Dutch fabric for extremely humorous or sarcastic songs.
Musically, Sagitario again offers the complete range of jazz, funk, rock, cabaret and nonsense. If you do not know JoosTVD yet you can not really classify it. The fact that the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, alone in his studio year after year, is a cure against any bad mood or spring fatigue.

Attention Pulease!
This post will be updated, constantly.
So I've this record out, thinking, how about some promotion? That's not me, I am just a bloody musician with an "eclectic' taste. So it's not gonna be easy, even though the possibilities are wider and deeper these days. A lot of those hipsters fold (radio stations, blogspots) or change their policies (soundcloud). Luckily a simple google search can help filter the old from the new. (Online) radio is still important. It's a flat digital earth now. You can always pay for a play, but that doesn't count in my opinion. And don't forget the writers. Reviews help spread the news even more!
I've had a few and more songs on Croydon radio in rotation, but they stopped playing "under the radar" artists. Well they stopped. And there are so many......talents. Where to go now...?
So I've sent my music to other online radios and online magazins, because there are so many more!
The list will be endless, I hope.

(13 april 2017!)
I've got another promo for ya
with lyrics:
Private Scene (music & lyrics JoostVD)
I just came home from the dentist
He drilled so many holes in my teeth
I couldn't talk to anyone I couldn't stand the heat
So I went to the only room for some well deserved privacy
I go to the toilet that's my only scene
I go to the toilet you can keep me under lock and key
So if you have a problem don't come to me
Just go to the toilet for your selfreflecting needs
Despite bad weather important matters and public inquiries
In the end we all have to wipe our asses and clean up our filfthy deeds
Oehoe I've got a premonition
Coming up
So if you want a riot go to the toilet
You can be a pilot with a private seat
Tou can talk to anyone but there's no guarantee
The toilet is the only healer for your maladies
Oehoe I've got a premonition
Coming up
O my god....I forgot something
....mmm toilet paper

Happy Pills....Promo
Not that happy? Play this "Happy Pill" and you're happy happy.
A new song for anyone who likes to share a new song with anyone.
From the new 2017 album "Sagitario"
12 arrows included, ready for a kill!
Happy Pills
So you've finally found a corner
Where the funky moon is shining bright
The happy pill is inside
Sometimes you need the wrong thing to feel allright
Suddenly you feel a hand upon your shoulder
A voice said: "I need a fix my friend"
Here's a happy pill again
Sometimes it's allright to do the wrong thing
Put the nasty bits under the rug and sing
Nanananananah
We're all so very happy with a happy pill
Sometimes when you wake up in the morning
The mirror shows a beggar not a king
What happy pills can bring
Sometimes it takes all night to slipp them in
wowowowowowow
Put the nasty bits under the rug and sing
Nanananananah
We're all so very happy with a happy pill
(Lyrics and music JoostVD)

Show us your new work!
Voila!
It has just been confirmed that the album is in the distribution process. It takes approximately 4 weeks to appear online, but keep a close watch, some online services are very quick. now i'm gonna take a breeeeeaaak.
No pressure. Fingers crossed, legs spread. In the meantime I'll keep you updated if there's any change and as I'm working on some visuals, that tasty promo is on its way too. So now you know.
Now let's see where you have to look at this year and the rest of your life.
The artwork.
The original "selfie" pictures have been chosen from some amateurish mobile phone footage, filmed in the bathroom by yours truly. No. 3 became my ultimate frontcover as I liked the welcome sign in my sort of "I invite you all" atitude and the mirrored spotlight above the "starstrucked" me.
Here's the original for the back cover with mirror reflection:
On the net you can find all kind of photo design editors.
I especially liked the paint department from Lunapic. All kind of echoes of Van Gogh and Kadinsky art that fitted well. Here are a few choices, eyes open or eyes closed:
The title.
I know it's a bit pretentious...to say Sagittarius, so it became
Sagitario
It's spanish- which sounds so cool- for (english), boogschutter (dutch). It happens to be my sign. I guess you'll hear a few characteristics of those on the new album. Playful sounding and with the extra bonus of the word siguitario in it. I'll explain in a later blog all bout it.
The final result (or insult).
Well, we've got that title, the art, so here's the design. I was switching between black or white for the background, both choices eventually made it.
We've got the frontcover, for the backcover I've chosen the same design but as a whole in contrast.
A few choices
A white background with all the information you need. Now, what does it sound like? Soon...
Next: promo video/song
