Thomás Goethals, better known by his stage name The Flexican (Mexico City, October 11, 1983) is a Dutch DJ. He is a member of Dutch rap group Flinke Namen.
Thomás was born in Mexico City, and lived there for nine years of his life. There he was heavily influenced by Latin and rock music, which developed a great interest in music inside him since very young. When his parents divorced around 1992, he traveled to Netherlands with his mother and brother. The family settled in Buitenveldert.
In Netherlands, he developed a further obsession with music, having a fascination for electronic music and hip hop. He eventually realized electronic music should be his future, and so he attended at the SAE Institute of Amsterdam, Netherlands. He graduated two years later, having mastered his music production and mixing skills.
In 2004, Goethals founded the rap group Flinke Namen alongside rapper and longtime friend Sef and rapper MC Fit. The following year, Murth The Man-O-Script joined the group. He released his first mixtape, Op Volle Toeren (Dutch: At Full Speed) in 2008, featuring Dutch rappers like The Opposites and Dio.
Mother's Day is a modern celebration honoring one's mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Father's Day and Siblings Day.
The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a celebration of the mother church, not motherhood). Despite this, in some countries, Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.
The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which now holds the International Mother's Day Shrine. Her campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her beloved mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Anna's mission was to honor her own mother by continuing work she started and to set aside a day to honor mothers, "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world". Anna's mother, Ann Jarvis, was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.
Major Lazer is an electronic music group originally created by record producers Diplo and Switch. Switch left in 2011, but Diplo remained, with additional members Jillionaire and Walshy Fire. Their music spans numerous music styles, mixing EDM with reggae, dancehall, electronic, reggaeton, house, and moombahton genres.
Major Lazer has released three full-length albums – Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do, Free the Universe, and Peace Is the Mission, released in 2009, 2013, and 2015, respectively. They have also released an EP entitled Apocalypse Soon in March 2014, which featured vocal contributions from Pharrell Williams and Sean Paul. In addition, Major Lazer has also produced Reincarnated, the debut reggae album by Snoop Dogg under his "Snoop Lion" persona.
Formerly made up of DJ Diplo and Switch, the two were introduced after working with M.I.A.. The duo's first album Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do was released on 16 June 2009, on Downtown Records. It was recorded in Jamaica at Tuff Gong Studios. Vocalists such as Santigold, Vybz Kartel, Ward 21, Busy Signal, Nina Sky, Amanda Blank, Mr. Vegas, Turbulence, Mapei, T.O.K, Prince Zimboo, Leftside and others contribute guest vocals to the album, as well as additional production from Afrojack and Crookers. This is the first release to come out of the label partnership between Downtown Records and Diplo's label Mad Decent. Major Lazer ended a US tour last summer.
"Super Rich Kids" is a song by American recording artist Frank Ocean, and the fifth single from his debut studio album, Channel Orange. It was first performed live by Ocean in 2011 and then on his channel ORANGE tour in 2012. The single was released in March 2013. The song is in the style of R&B and neo soul, and includes references to and samples of the songs "Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John and "Real Love" by Mary J. Blige. It addresses young, wealthy characters' ennui and fears of the financial crisis with dry humor. The song received positive critical responses and charted on the Billboard R&B Songs chart and the UK singles and R&B chart. The song also appeared on the TV show Gossip Girl and the film The Bling Ring.
"Super Rich Kids" was written by Frank Ocean, Malay, Earl Sweatshirt, Kirk Robinson, Nathaniel Robinson Jr., Roy Hammond, Mark Morales and Mark Rooney and produced by Malay. Ocean and Malay came up with "Super Rich Kids" on their first day working together on Ocean's debut album, channel ORANGE. According to Ocean, the 2000 film Traffic was an inspiration for the song. Ocean first performed the song during his debut solo tour in 2011, and later performed it on the Channel Orange tour. The single release was originally announced on January 23, 2013. It was released in Britain on March 11, and in the United States on the 17th.
Rich Kids were a short-lived new wave band from London, founded in 1977 by Glen Matlock following his departure from Sex Pistols. The band also included future Ultravox member Midge Ure, and Rusty Egan, who later founded Visage. They released one album and three singles during their existence, from March 1977 to December 1978 (although the official announcement of their disbanding was not made until mid-1979).
Rich Kids were amongst the foremost British exponents of the power pop style, blending influences from 1960s acts such as Small Faces and The Who with more recent punk rock sounds. With only one single making the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart, Rich Kids join the list of one-hit wonders; a list that includes other UK punk or new wave acts such as John Cooper Clarke, Jilted John, 999, the Radio Stars, and The Vibrators.
Rich Kids were formed in 1977 by bass player Glen Matlock after he left Sex Pistols. An early line-up consisted of keyboardist and guitar player Bill Smyth, Rusty Egan on drums, Steve New on lead guitar, and The Clash's Mick Jones, who acted as a session live player.Glaswegian Midge Ure, whose band Slik had split up and reformed as the punk sounding PVC2, moved to London and joined Rich Kids. Smyth left the group followed by Jones, who continued with The Clash.

Qbah had een interview met The Flexican, Hij sprak hem o.a. over zijn wereldwijde hit "Watch out for this (Bumaye)" en Dj Chuckie.
Nou meiden, laat die lippenstift maar thuis. DJ en lekkertje Thomás Goethals, beter bekend als The Flexican, zoent niet met vrouwen met gestifte lippen. Of hij met zijn gesprekspartner actrice Sarah Chronis zou zoenen? Vast niet. Sarah is namelijk gek op veel make-up. Maar alleen als ze 's avonds een leuk feestje heeft: Dan vind ik het gaaf als je een hele vette kleur lippenstift op hebt. Groupies Thomas heeft een heleboel feestjes meegemaakt. Volgens Sarah horen daar ook groupies bij. Tja, groupies... zegt de dj, Kijk, ik ben een man, en als een man naar een feestje gaat, gaat hij ook op zoek naar vrouwen. Hij maakt écht wel gebruik van het dj zijn, én van de onenightstands. Sarah is een stuk preutser: Ik heb nul onenightstands gehad. Het blijft bij mij nooit bij één keer. Vaderfiguur ...
