Curry en van Inkel

This is for the Dutch readers: remember Curry en van Inkel? The first radio show that actually made an impact on me. Weekends would start with listening to the Friday night show Curry en van Inkel. And guess what? Last night I found this page with audio segments of the show. Call it old sentiment but it gave me some shivers. Check out the page with jingles and tell me if you recognize some of them. Now a little trivia about Adam Curry you might not have heard about:

In the late 1980s, before the World Wide Web, in the days of Gopher, Curry began experimenting on the Net. He registered the then-unclaimed domain name “mtv.com” in 1993 with the idea of being MTV’s unofficial new voice on the Internet. Although this move was sanctioned by his superiors at MTV Networks at the time, when Adam left to start his own web-portal design and hosting company, OnRamp Inc, MTV subsequently sued him for the domain name, which led to an out-of-court settlement.
