Since there is no money anymore in selling CD’s, de portables continuously seek out new business models to add revenue to the ever-growing de portables bank account. Selling t-shirts is one thing but selling out to Roularta Media (the Fox Media of Belgium) is another. That’s why our management didn’t hesitate to repurpose some of our tunes in their corporate Flash Games.

For every person who plays the highly addictive Rush Hour game, money flows in our direction, generating such a tremendous positive cash flow that we’ll be able to retire soon or acquire other, less talented bands like Introver or Toman!

Creating superior value for our major shareholders (yup, that’s you) that’s what de portables are all about. Now if you will excuse me, I’ll have another caipirinha.

de portables inc. today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in Belgium for the Flemish District of Belgium against Humo magazine, seeking to prevent Humo from deliberately not publishing an interview that should have appeared in the magazine four years ago.

In the contract we signed at the time with Sanoma Publishing, the company that publishes Humo, it was cleary stipulated that if the interview would not be published by April 15th, 2008, a fine of 15.000 euros would be demanded from Sanoma.

With this lawsuit, for which we have hired the best Harvard professor of Law and specialist in Lazy interview rights Ben Depoorter to support our case pro deo.

Or should we say: nazi punks fuck off

Next month there will be a new portables EP “Vegetarian BBQ”. You can listen to a streaming version of the EP on the Heineken website.  de portables have signed an exclusive contract with the dutch brewer and from now on we demand and drink only the greatest of the european beers! No more Chouffe nor Orval! Regarding the current political climate de portables believe that Flanders and The Netherlands should be united in a single dutch speaking entity. Choosing a dutch beer as the national standard is our way of welcoming our northern neighbours.

Although you can listen to our new EP our lawyers insist that you cannot review, nor share your opinion about the music with your friends, family and pet animals. Don’t even think of posting this on Napster, BBS systems or other music sharing sites!

The only thing you should do is drink a Heineken beer while adoring the sexy, eclectic, dancable and in your face  remixes of our own songs. That’s because that’s how we think you must listen to our music. Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?

Southpark continues to amaze. Yesterday’s episode killed off the sneezing panda, the star wars kid, the laughing baby, tron guide amongst others. Literally killed them. Finally someone steps up. Let this be the end of the micro celebrity! Let this be the end of the people who think they are the center of the universe because they twitter. Kill (your) idols! (full episode)

On a lighter side tomorrow we’ll be playing in Brussels at the VK* at 8:30pm with This will destroy you.
