I have not heard the song. I simply read the lyrics. I assumed the song was to be performed by the famale on the page, although i did notice the small print at the bottom of the screen implying J.Tel on vocals. Never knew J.Tel could sing.

Quote: I'm more concerned about my future jobs than the previous ones...

I've done some things throug computer journalism, both paper and TV, through game cartridges development, through web development, through bussines java application programming, through doing some 3d illustrations, through foreign trade, through Manga/Anime importing, through the game programming for PC, to whatever future brings...

You know what they say - if you done so many of them, you cant be really good at any :)

Oh! I used to work as a teacher for one year too :)


I've done my fair share of a vartiety of various jobs while on my quest to find out what i *really* want to do. I'm still searching :)

Quote: IT. Namely administration, but mostly web development. That isn't what I've always dreamt of, but once you live in a major shithole like Serbia, you shouldn't be too picky considering jobs.

Jailbird, you live in Serbia, no way. I drove though there last year while traveling. I felt like i was on the moon or some Mad Max place. I stuck to the toll roads which were empty most of the time, there were a few other cars on the road from time to time. Every now and then i'd see a petrol/gas station. I pull over and pop in and see what was on offer. Most of the shelves were empty. They sold cans of coke and one place had very hardcore porn dvd's on a stand directly as i walked into the shop, which seemed an odd place to located such material, an i always felt like i was their first customer in weeks. All in all it was quite an experience.

You most likely travelled on the southern part of the country, actually it's really like that there. I live on north, where the economy is more steady, there are a lot of farmlands, industries, and the life conditions are slowly getting better and better. However, the unenployment is still above 50% here on north, and a salary of 150 euros is considered to be a quite fine catch, now imagine what's down there...

I've been teaching for six years. And will probably stick to it.

.from the motor way (toll road) the landscape was just so flat with nothing there. It felt really good. Every so often a petrol station would appear and there could be a house or 2. I would think, what a place to live.

Click the title of the song on the top of the page - there's an mp3 under it ;)

Jeroen sings the first part (guy feeling sorry for himself), Brenda sings the main part (girl telling him to get over it). Yes Jeroen can sing, although he's a much better musician ;-)

This is just one of the first few 'real' song lyrics I wrote though (only rap lyrics before that), latter ones are much much better but unfortunately I can't give you the mp3s of those (or Brenda would kill me - she doesn't even like this page).

And hey, you can always check out trans*form again to read some of my lyrics if you wanna!

Quote: Well, I for one like to know what people are doing in real life, and how that connects to their scene activities.

Me, I'm a software architect, responsible for the 5th largest site in Holland. Also, my love for writing (long) scrolltexts resulted in me being a lyricist for a Dutch singer (shameless plug: http://www.lyrical.demon.nl/owngod/)

The scene made me what I am today, for sure.


Just downloaded the mp3. J.Tel as a vocalist did not come across as a natural singer, he sounded like he was holding back. I know a singer and she is very confident and loves her voice (shameless plug: http://www.talykorenmusic.com/ )

We had some fun together a little while ago, i made a small music video, a zero budget video (another shameless plug: http://www.truecolor.741.com/You_are_my_Only_One.html )

So when will J.Tel make some more cool music for Focus :)

very interesting to read what everybody does for a job. I work in the music business nowadays, with 3 jobs.

my 'hobby' job is running my record labels which tries to promote unknown dutch bands and give them a step up.
My second job is my booking agency. I set up tours throughout Europe (mostly holland though)for bands from all over the globe. I work with bands like Fishbone, Aereogramme, Saian Supa Crew and Textures (and many many more).

Last, for a steady wage, i work as an assistant promoter at a venue in my hometown called Patronaat. I book bands in the venue, but i also prepare all of the productions.

Busy busy, but i love this work, it is like a dream come true.
