Plexus

A walk in Delft streets with no direction,  I stopped near markt square, ate some delicious, freshly made kibbelings, drank a cold glass of white wine, and music was immediately needed . 

"Vynils, because sound matters" is shown trough one of  the Plexus's  shop windows. I went in, gave a quick look and head to the reggae section, suddenly a punky sound grab my  attention towards the turntables, as I approach them, the owner came closer... do you like them? -Martin asked.  It was a great garage band from the eighties I have never heard before (something with berries, can't remember the name) he showed me the album cover and pull  info from the internet,  a 300 euro offer, "some people are crazy", he had it for 23e. Then I asked about his store, he had it open for 35 years already, it's anniversary has a real symbolic date and hour.

-How you manage to do it? "I keep a foot on the system" -he said, and smiled. Then we talked about music and trivial stuff; he was even kind of curious not knowing where I'm coming from. 

Martin can be moody sometimes, so don't expect he will always be sharing a chat, instead he can always offer great music. If you are around Delft, please give him my greetings, ask him about the garage band (share it with us) and also for the meaning of number eleven, it's a nice story.

I began writing this post the same way as I arrive to his shop, looking for music. This is a free selection from Plexus alias 't Platenmanneke
