the temper trap - sweet disposition

2010-01-23T20:53:00.009+07:00

@last.fm

sweet disposition

never too soon

oh reckless abandon

like no one's

watching you

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

a kiss, a cry

our rights, our wrongs

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

chorus

just stay there

cause i'll be comin over

and while our bloods still young

it's so young

it runs

and we won't stop til it's over

won't stop to surrender

songs of desperation

I played them for you

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

a kiss, a cry

our rights, our wrongs

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

chorus:

just stay there

cause i'll be comin over

and while our bloods still young

it's so young

it runs

and we won't stop til it's over

won't stop to surrender

alexi murdoch - all my days

Well I have been searching
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I've been walking on
All of my days
And I've been trying to find
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I've been trying to find
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it's just too bright
As the days keep turning into night

Now I see clearly
It's you I'm looking for
All of my days
So I'll smile
I know I'll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems you found me
And it's coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
Yes even breathing
Feels all right

photograph

You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met

But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something no one else has

You and I
You and I
Me and you
What can we do?
When the words we use sometimes
Are misconstrued?

I won't guess
What's coming next
I can't ever tell you the deepest well I've ever fallen into

Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't need to know
Everything about you

Oh, I don't wanna know
And you don't need to know
That much about me

You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met

But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something no one else has

You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I

Masih kebayang jelas waktu gw kehilangan tas dan seisinya tahun lalu, yah beberapa benda kesayangan gw hilang di G-nite tahun 2007 lalu, pas lagi asik-asiknya motret acara malam itu (lengkapnya baca ini). Minggu ini, beberapa hari sebelum lebaran qurban, sekali lagi musibah menimpa gw, entah udah berapa bulan barang yang satu ini menemani gw, mo begadang, di studio, di kamar, dijalan, di kelas, dimana-manalah, dan tentunya disaat gw tidur, yah...ipod, benda yang jasanya sudah ga bisa dihitung lagi, huehue, pergi meninggalkan gw (baca:dicopet), juga waktu gw lagi asik motret di festival bandung blossom kemaren pagi, tinggalah kotak beserta earphonenya yang menunggu dikamar, yah...musibah...musibah, disaat kuliah sedang suntuk-suntuknya, tugas bejibun , stress sedang singgah di kepala, dan hujan yang tak kunjung reda, eh ditambah dengan rasa kesal yang luar biasa...agaknya tahun ini kembali berkorban sebelum Qurban, yah sabarkan hamba ya Rabb

woohhooo...holiday...come to papa bebibeh
bagi mahasiswa perantauan seperti saya ini kata pertama yang berdengung di kepala ketika mendengar kata libur adalah pulang kampung, yah liburan masih panjang tak usah terburu-buru nyari tiket pesawat...
sepertinya liburan kali ini bakal menyenangkan dan bakal banyak tempat yang bakal gw kunjungi...
perjalan pertama kita kali ini adalah...

BANDUNG-PANGANDARAN-GREENCANYON-BATUKARAS-BANDUNG

sabtu minggu 14-15 juni tepatnya anak-anak himpunan mengajak bersantai dan melupakan segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan kampus, satu pagi sektiar jam tujuh kita ngumpul depan gerbang ganesa, foto-foto, makan-makan, bagi mobil. Kebetulan gw ikut nebeng mobil temen kita yang berinisial WB dengan BINTANG bertindak sebagai supir (always have always will), serta gw dan andre dikursi belakang, mobil kita berangkat paling ujung, ujug-ujug dititip cooler box berisi ayam dan sayur dengan es batu yang masih balokan, nah karena esnya ga muat masuk, kita pada ngancurin es batu dulu depan jalan ganesa, alkisah tangan pada merah (terutama bintang) yang dengan gampangnya ngelempar es tinggi-tinggi keatas, pas jatoh kebawah malah ga pecah......
singkat cerita padat karya kita tiba di pasar RAJAPOLAH, nah sebelum nyampe sini kejadian mengenaskan menimpa gw, ipod yang udah gw cas penuh ngehang dimobil, what could be worst...disini kita berbelanja kerajinan tangan, perjalanan dilanjutkan meuju BANJAR, untuk berhenti makan siang. Nah dari sini penumpang mobil bertambah satu, westi namanya, ato lebih dikenal dengan sebutan kuda oleh anak-anak, terjahiliahkanlah si westi (ce) di mobil berisi penyamun kelas paus ini. haha kasian dah pokoknya mereka bertiga( wb,bintang,andre) buka baju didalem mobil, si wb malah sambil nyetir buka bajunya, kegilaan sepanjang jalan dan sempat berhenti sejenak buat poto-poto ditengah sawah.
jam tigaan nyampe PANGANDARAN, biasalah kalo dipantai ada yang langsung nyebur, maen ATV, frisbi, maen pasir, foto-foto, ramelah. Terlalu banyak hal menarik yang bisa diceritakna tentang sore ini, ga kerasa udah sore aja, absi nyebur pada mandi, nyiapin bakaran api unggun, makanan dan minuman, gw hanya bertahan sampe jam setengah dua itupun tinggal beberapa orang saja, ditemani kacang, vodka, dan kartu. Quite a mix eh...
paginya kembali kepantai cari makanan, ngisi perut buat lanjut jalan menuju GREENCANYON, ga kebayang sebelumnya kalo tempat ini bakal seindah dann se-amuse ini, bebatuan dan air yang jernih, eksotik dan tak terjamah, sangat indah (heuheu bahasanya), yeah we had a good time....good God...
beranjaklah kita menuju BATUKARAS, last destination, yah hampir sama dengan pangandaran, namanya juga pantai...ya gitu aja. Nah yang menarik nih, gw kan udah ga nebeng mobil lagi, tapi pindah ke bus, mobil wb yang kala itu dikemudikan oelh bintang menabarak pohon, kontan kita ketawa (ini masih diparkiran)...muke wb langsung murung memdapati buntut x-trail b 152 wb lecet dan sedikit remuk...
jalan-jalan-jalan tidur dijalan nyampelah kita dibandung pukul 12 malam....hahaha ga seru kan...ga pake poto sih....gw ga ngeluarin kamera, soalnya udah banyak yang mendokumentasikan.....

wishlist - adorama slinger graphic backpack

2008-06-06T04:56:00.000+07:00

· A lower Photo padded compartment which will hold your camera/camcorder and many accessories such as lenses, flash unit, batteries, cables, charger etc. The photo gear can be easily approached via the designated front zipper opening. This compartment features a set of modular dividers that will allow you to fit the bag to your gear.

2008-06-03T21:41:00.000+07:00

hmmmm..bukannya apa-apa ya,,kenapa ngomongin bretpit disini...
barusan secara ga sengaja gw baca artikel yang kira-kira isinya seperti dibawah ini

" Brad Pitt will work as a design consultant with innovative Los Angeles architecture firm GRAFT, for developer Zabeel Properties. Pitt said: "Whilst acting is my career, architecture is my passion. Selecting this development as my first major construction project has been a simple decision.

"It will underpin not only my values for environmentally-friendly architecture, but also embrace my career in entertainment.

"We will be unveiling precise plans in the next few months, but you can expect something that is not only stunning to look at, but will also be an incredible attraction to visit or stay at."

nah lo...bratpit aja pengen jadi arsitek...kenapa gw ngga ????? (apa hubungannya coba ...)

maap deh kalo ga penting...huahaa

Ass: My Get Up And Go Just Got Up And Went ( Headspin Recordings 2008)

Ugggghhhhh yeah... would you really want to put an "Ass" folder in your document, i'm totally in for this one, this album My Get Up And Go Just Got Up And Went really had me in the first place, it rocksm i think you should have one.
Ass stands for Andreas Soderstrom Solo, he has been surrounded by instruments, exposed to the sounds of his father’s bazouki factory – an extraordinary melange of clattering noise and metallic melody. He creates full strings music along with childish playfulness. For more than a decade he has been the hitherto unknown man of Swedish pop, having played with the likes of electro-pop priestess Jenny Wilson, digital folk stalwarts Tape, offbeat folk-pop minstrel Blood Music, and Taken By Trees, the latest incarnation of former Concretes singer Victoria Bergsman.
This album are soft, gentle, subtle, warm, comforting, and elegant, a classic folk finger picking multi instrumental from horns to accordion, minimal an majestic
Notable songs, Escape From New York, Wheels and Wings, Back To The Old Ways, Cool Water

hope someone sees this post and give it a try...

My April Music

2008-04-12T19:41:00.012+07:00

...yeah, there are a lot of surprises in this early April, first the ice rain (or whatever they called it), the flu (oh God please, not now), the headache (it hurts me much, almost everyday), the pressure and the jay's effects (oh, not in the mood for studio), the UU ITE (what a government...?), the jobs (hehe, keep occupied though), and of course the music (which will always leads my thought), hmmmm, i kind of feel stress this month, i don't know, maybe i'm just bored, but yeah i'm not so well, a bit sick, so to say, oh...

here is a few of album on my playlist, just wanna share (sorry i don't have the link, just a simple and quick review)

Annuals/Sunfold - Wet Zoo (Split EP) (Canvasback Records, 2008), indeed, a very nice recording, five songs full of strings and love, you should check it

Sleepmakeswaves - In Today Already Walks Tomorrow EP (Self Released, 2008), i know that you're agree with me, these Australian mice have become a tiger, one of the best epic post-rock album from last month

Subtle - ExitingARM (Lex Records, 2008), finally, these hip-hop band comes with their new material, not as lovely as Yell&Ice though, very worth hearing

Brethren of The Free Spirit, All Things Are From Him And Through Him And In Him (AudioMER, 2008), james blackshaw and Jozef Van Wissem, what a hardcore duo, guitar and flute, a lovely combination for drone and psych

Lakes Of Russia - Stars Decorate The Fire (Afterdark Records, 2008), still, an Australian post-rock/ambient, a solo project from Jake McGinn with guest collaborators here and there, a dramatic, epic, brittle, glimmering melodies

Styrofoam - A Thousand Words (Nettwerk, 2008), soloist with lots of collaboration, an indie electronic album, good for your ears

French Kicks - Swimming (Vagrant Records, 2008), do you remember them and indie garage rock who turns into pop, a nice and rare release from an emo-like records, rich in sound with finger snaps and hands clap, light and unpretentious sound, hope you'll like it

Butuh Space

2008-03-31T17:59:00.001+07:00

Minggu kemaren ceritanya jalan2 ama anak2 jepret, baru nyadar juga kalo dalam beberapa tahun ini saya hanya beberapa kali menginjakkan kaki di gasibu dan sekitarnya pada minggu pagi...
rame banget, katanya sih salah satu pasar tumpah terbesar di asia tenggara (hmmm), ga jauh dari situ dimonumen pahlawan terlihat banyak kegitan olahraga dan anak2 bermain, inget kuliah arkotnya pak apep tentang ruang publik kota
di Indonesia memang sulit menemukan ruang publik yang bisa diakses dan dipakai banyak orang, entahlah ruang hijaupun sulit ditemui, ruang publik yang sempit dipersempit lagi dengan menumpuknya berbagai kegiatan jual beli, yang anehnya koq monumennya malah dipagerin yah... katanya ruang terbuka, eh malah ditutup, yah memang ada resiko kalo dibuka, pedagang kaki lima !!!
kalo liat foto diatas, keliatan banget anak2 kurang lahan bermain, maen bola di tugu,, ada yang manjet2in tugu, gelantungan dibatang pohon, kejar2an, banyaklah, intinya mereka/kita butuh sarana interaksi yang lebih luas, kota yang lebih bersahabat, jalur pejalan kaki yang lebih lebar, trafic yang lancar, pohon yang rindang dan pemukiman yang layak...ya...kota

Why ? - Rubber Traits

2008-03-31T16:12:00.002+07:00

Embedded Video

songs meaning:

a person is stuck in an emotional rut and finds himself incapable of getting out of it. so after some time of depression the person gets up and starts shaping his life, keeping himself occupied all the time, paying attention to details, telling him over and over again that he's doing fine, even getting better.

then the fly hits the pane of glass and dies, causing the person to get back to his depression. this whole process is being repeated every day and every night the person relives the depression over and over again. he's crying that he doesn't want to feel it anymore, he is doing all he can to make it stop, but nothing helps. he's still stuck with his depression and all the while he's showing everybody a smiling face.

Why ? - Rubber Traits

2008-03-31T15:48:00.001+07:00

I want to always be on film,
to be caught in the cut coffee sober
Ding-di-di-ding-di-di-ding-ding-boom-boom-boulder

One scratched lens of...
of a brand new prescription
Drawing dates from a stacked deck of cards
and doom-doom-doom

I should cut down my caloric intake
I should go to sleep hungry
and wake up with my guts knotted up
and ears open like a burnt down hut

I want my mouth to always taste the blade
but I want, but I want, but (ooooooh)
I want to kiss like taffy
Hump gentle on a bed of nails and
Feel salt to widen eyes like a cut-up clam's tongue does
I wanna dump early on that BMT the rest
I want a patch of blue sky to follow me

Unfold an oragami death mask
and cut my DNA with rubber traits
Pull apart the double helix like a wishbone
Always be working on a suicide note

I don't want to (oo-ee-oo)
when I feel like I could have gone longer
(repeat x3)

I don't want to (oo-ee-oo)
when I feel like I could have gone...

Productive, fully-charged, cocked and pointed
Keep a tape recorder on my bedside table
Sweats, only the pants that fit the best, no belts, no cuffs
Walked home yet loose keep heel dies blue to a ten
Watch a fly hit a pane of glass till it gets real bony
His stomach swells up and he dies

I don't want to (oo-ee-oo)
when I feel like I could have gone longer
(repeat x3)

I don't want to (oo-ee-oo)
when I feel like I could have gone...

hidup normal

2008-03-14T23:46:00.002+07:00

baru-baru ini gw mulai berfikir gimana sebenernya menjalani hidup normal, apakah hidup yang sehat, hidup bersih, hidup sederhana, hidup senang, atau apa..? Sejujurnya gw ga peduli dengan hidup normal, yang dalam pengertian gw berarti hidup yang gw jalani adalah rutinitas, mengerjakan hal yang sama tiap hari kerja, dan beristirahat ketika weekend, hmmmm, how bored could it be ??
ah tidakkk, kita selalu dihadapkan dalam situasi dimana kita harus memilih, dengan berjuta tawaran konsekuensi yang samar-samar, disisi lain kita diembankan berbagai tanggungjawab, kebutuhan pemenuhan hidup, dan lainnya yang akirnya berujung pada sebuah kata yang sering dihindari oleh banyak orang (dan mungkin gw sendiri) "idealisme". Jangan adu teori dengan gw karena pemahaman gw sangat dangkal, bahkan untuk sekedar tau apalagi paham, sudahlah....
kalo memang pengen hidup sesuka hati, berdiam dirilah dikamar sepanjang tahun (bukan ungkapan yang tepat sepertinya, haha), bagaimana dengan yang namanya kehidupan sosial, yah hakekatnya memang begitu, kita butuh interaksi, interaksi melahirkan segala macam benda dan teori yang ada dibumi ini, makanya interaksi itu penting.
hmmn, gw jadi teringat kalimat indah yang pernah dilontarkan guru bahasa indonesia gw waktu sma, "manusia itu tidak lain adalah sekumpulan kotoran berjalan", yah, memang kasar, tapi benar, bukannya bermaksud merendahkan HMD (harkat martabat derajat) kita sebagai manusia, tapi coba kalian lihat, mulai dari ujung kaki sampe ujung kepala kita isinya kotoran semua, kuku kaki, daki, keringat, kotoran udel, air besar dan kecil, kotoran gigi, kotoran hidung, kotoran mata, kotoran telinga, ketombe, hampir semua anggota tubuh kita ngeluarin kotoran (maap kasar), intinya kita mesti sadar bahwa kedudukan kita didunia sangatlah kecil, ga ada artinya kalo kita hidup sendirian, ga produktif, dan cuman ngejalanin rutinitas, ato malah mencoba lari dari tanggung jawab, yang berujung pada pelarian seumur hidup, kita cuma sperti seonggok kotoran berjalan, buatlah hidup kita lebih bermakna, berguna, dan bermanfaat, alangkah lebih baik jika lingkungan sekitar kita dapat menikmatinya. Bicara tentang hakekat manusia, kutipan berikut menarik untuk disimak...

.“.. . [A] human being regarded as a person, that is, as the subject of a morally practical reason, is exalted above any price; for as a person (homo noumenon) he is not to be valued merely as a means to the ends of others or even to his own ends, but as as an end in himself; that is, he possesses a dignity (an absolute inner worth) by which he exacts respect for himself from all other rational beings in the world." Immanuel Kant

sekarang gw kembali pada "hidup normal" , gw tiba pada kesimpulan bahwa "hidup normal menurut gw adalah menjalani hidup sehari-hari dengan sadar konsekuensi". Yah kembali lagi kita dihadapkan pada pilihan hidup seperti apa yang kita inginkan, buat gw sendiri, jalani apa adanya dengan capaian-capaian kecil demi mencapai idealisme dengan capaian yang lebih besar....haha

semoga bermanfaat dan jadi bahan renungan, terutama penulis sendiri

Terlalu Banyak Musik Bagus Untuk Dinikmati

2008-03-12T21:28:00.005+07:00

hhhmmmm bulan maret ini bandung selalu diguyur hujan tiap hari...pagi siang malam, berasa lembab dimana-mana, becek berlumpur dijalanan rusak, mobil-mobil bangsat seenaknya menyalip melaju kencang, makanan pun terasa kurang lezat karena dingin, flu dan batuk menyerang badan, tugaspun tak kunjung henti berdatangan manambah runyam otak dan pikiran...yah hidup dibandung memang teruk...apalagi bagi mahasiswa-mahasiswa yang selalu sok supersibuk mengejar-ngejar deadline pengumpulan seperti saya ini...haha...hidup memang terasa makin teruk, dunia pun terasa makin sempit...!!!
yap...tapi ga ada yang mengurungkan niat saya untuk selalu menikmati musik dan alunan indah sembari ditemani rokok, segelas air putih, beberapa lembar kertas A2, pensil, dan desiran rintik hujan diluar kamar...yah musik memang pantas untuk dinikmati kapan saja, sebuah karya seni penuh ekspresi tanpa deskripsi yang jelas diperoleh dari berbagai paduan suara yang disediakan oleh alam semesta, yah musik.........
hari-hari yang berat belakangan ini memaksa speaker komputer untuk terus menyala, beberapa rilisan baru yang selalu menjadi favorit playlist saya diantaranya...

Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghost, tetap enak didengar dalam suasana hati apapun, paduan musik harmonis yang mampu mencairkan suasana

The Ruby Sun - Sea lion, album yang santai dan sangat ekspresif, salah satu rilisan teranyar yang layak untuk memanjakan telinga kita

Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood, white winter hymnal, lagu yang sangat cocok didengar kala musim dingin, dua album rilisan mereka awal tahun ini sangat enerjik dan enjoyable

The Photographic - Pictures Of The Changing World, bulan maret sangat minim menetaskan musik postrock yang berkualitas, pendatang yang terdengar baru ditelinga saya ini mampu menaikkan semangat saya sekaligus menjatuhkannya

Kyte - s/t, satu lagi musik postrock yang sangat layak kita simak, Sigur Ros bertemu Cantaloup dan Jatun, sangat indah

Tokyo Police Club - The Elephant Shell, tidak begitu buruk, namun cukup memacu adrenalin

Toumani Diabate - The Mande Variations, raja kora dari Mali yang satu ini kembali melahirkan album yang penuh dengan nada-nada eksotik khas african music

Marche La Void - Mengheningkan Cipta (single/demo), band karbitan ini begitu cinta dengan tanah airnya hingga mampu me-remake salah satu lagu nasional kita dengan sangat khusyuk, tak sabar menunggu album baru yang direncanakan free release

beberapa album yang juga layak simak Bobby And Blumm - Everybody Loves, The Mae Shi - Hlllyh, A Weather - Cove , Kurt Weisman - Spiritual Sci-Fi, Pocahaunted - Peyote Road, Tger Lou - The Loyal

terlalu banyak musik untuk kita nikmati, terserah jika shoegaze, folk, dangdut, lagu cengeng, core, metal, ataupun keroncong yang anda pilih, jika memang membuat kita senang, nikmatilah karena kita diberi segala kemudahan untuk itu...salam

Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts

2008-02-28T18:00:00.004+07:00

eghhmmm....
okay, after their last year success they are back with some slight tunes and materials for our ear...the last year album " the meaning of 8 " have already become one of my favorite album back then, one of the best album of the year....
nah sekarang mereka balik lagi nih, ngeluarin album baru di awal tahun, sebuah langkah yang cukup bagus. walopun singlenya blom kedengaran, album feel good ghost yang rencananya dirilis pada bulan april ini sangat layak dan menarik untuk kita simak, musik yang sedikit lebih ringan dan sangat mudah diterima dikuping kita...track pertama sudah mengundang kita dengan judul "No One Said It Would Be Easy", begitu juga track terakhir yang berjudul " love you all " terdengar paling enak dikuping saya, psychromaticmusic kalo saya boleh menyebutnya...sukses buat cloud cult ditahun 2008, berikut tracklist yang bisa anda nikmati di album ini :

No One Said It Would Be Easy
Everybody Here Is a Cloud - 3:16
The Tornado Lessons
When Water Comes to Life - 3:47

puisi gosok gigi

2008-02-10T10:37:00.000+07:00

iseng buka-buka buku catetan pas masih sma, gw menemukan sebuah puisi yang gw kutip dari buku pustaka waktu itu, gw juga ga bisa nangkep artinya apaan, tapi puisinya seru CIO...

seseorang lupa menggosok gigi

seseorang lupa menggosok giginya sebelum tidur

didalam tidurnya ia bermimpi

ada sikat gigi menggosok-gosok mulutnya supaya terbuka

ketika ia bangun pagi hari

sikat giginya tinggal sepotong

sepotong yang hilang itu agaknya

tersesat di dalam mimpinya dan tak bisa kembali

dan ia berpendapat bahwa kejadian itu terlalu berlebih-lebihan

I’m high, and I’m so on fire
See, it might not what
Rush, will it be
Not, they are still the same
But today, we’re in
Same pace not
Right after, before you fail
Tone, there in the middle
Burning lust, so do too
Oh my oh my
1234 five after for
Why, uh huh
Sleep slept even at
Moonrise, along and came up thee
Aside and came up thee
Thee shined where
Wind to jump in
Air to fill in
Life to live in
Songs, but not tune in
Is it
See, it might not them
See, I’m still in
And I’m so on fire

Aduh apa yah, saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, tiba-tiba saja terfikir yang seperti ini , bukannya apa-apa, saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, jadi yah begini, memang tidak terfikir sih, dan memang saya sedang tidak bisa berfikir sekarang, jadinya saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, kemaren sih sempat terlintas di pikiran saya tapi jadinya saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, sekarang terserah kalian sajalah yang penting kalian senang, saya pun senang, asalkan kita tidak terlalu banyak bersenang-senang. Besok sepertinya akan lebih menyenangkan, kalau saja kita tidak terlalu banyak bersenang-senang hari ini, dan besok juga akan lebih menyenangkan lagi, kalau saja kita tidak terlalu banyak berfikir hari ini, dan akan sangat menyenangkan kalau kita tidak terlalu banyak berfikir untuk bersenang-senang. Sekedar mengingatkan saja, saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, tiba-tiba saja terfikir yang seperti ini, kalaulah saja saya dan kalian bisa, kenapa tidak dengan mereka, mereka juga pasti ingin menikmati. Saya sadar, ini bukanlah tulisan ilmiah, karena saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, kemarin juga seperti ini, tapi sekarang tidak hanya berfikir dan bersenang-senang, melainkan bekerja, berfikir, dan bersenang-senang, eh sepertinya ada yang kurang, siapa kalian, saya tidak kenal kalian, apakah kalian berkunjung untuk bersenang-senang bersama, atau kalian berkunjung dan mencari kesenangan kalian masing-masing, ah inilah, bukannya saya hanya ingin bersenang-senang tapi saya juga bingung mau nulis apa, tiba-tiba saja terfikir yang seperti ini. Mungkin ada baiknya jika saya ucapkan selamat kepada kalian semua, dan tidak lupa pula saya ucapkan terima kasih kepada kalian semua, agar saya, kalian dan mereka bisa menikmatinya.

lebaran qurban tahun ini

2007-12-19T21:04:00.001+07:00

photo, courtesy of wikipedia

Beberapa tahun belakangan selalu seperti ini, apalagi pas lebaran qurban, gw ga pernah lebaran dirumah, dua tahun yang lalu gw lebaran dengan anak-anak kosan, salat id di mesjid kecil depan kos, terus ngumpul sambil ngeributin "mau makan apa kita hari ini", dan kebetulan kita anak kos, bisanya bergantung ama penjual nasi disekitaran simpang yang juga kebetulan pada hari itu liburan semua, dan kelaparanlah kita hari itu sampe McD buka jam 12 siang kita akhirnya order delivery, gw masih ingat banget waktu itu masih banyak sesepuh kosan (bang tri, bang tommy, bang fachril, bang okto, bang duto, bang deny, dan bang marbun tentunya), yang sekarang udah hampir jadi orang sukses (amiiiiiin....lah kalo sukses inget2lah)
Satu tahun yang lalu juga lebaran jauh dari rumah, tetap di kosan tercinta, namun kali ini bersama beberapa penghuni muda yang merantau jauh dari kampung halamannya (cem betul aja), menggantikan abang2 sesepuh yang udah pada lulus, beberapa anak kost tidak solat hari itu, tentu saja dengan alasan "ngantuk" lalu tidur kembali. malemnya seinget gw, gw sempat belanja di superindo, paginya abis solat gw bikin sandwich tuna ama energen buat anak sekosan (ohhhhh betapa niatnya, hahaha), abis itu tidur seharian
Nah...tahun ini sepertinya bakalan sama saja, jauh dari rumah dan keluarga, bangun pagi, solat depan kosan, susah cari yang jualan buat makan, males ngapa-ngapain dan akhirnya tidur.

yang bisa gw simpulkan setelah beberapa tahun lebaran dikota "besar" cem bandung ini, hari lebaran tuh kek ga ada spesial2nya, biasa aja, sepi, ga kerasa atmosphere-nya, yang keliatan cuma jejeran kambing ditepi jalanan dago dengan tumpukan bulatan hitam kecil dan sisa-sisa rerumputan yang berserakan, hari spesial kek gini benar2 dimanfaatkan buat istirahat, kek ga da esensinya aja lebaran dikota, abis shalat id, salam2an, langsung sepi, jalanan yang biasanya macet tampak terlalu lengan untuk kota (tapi bagus sih ga bikin macet), beda jauh ama suasana lebaran di "kampung", rame, seru, malamnya takbiran keliling satu kampung, masyarakat yang antusias memaknai lebaran, bertumpahan kejalan sampe2 semua orang mesti jalan kaki, anak2 kecil yang terlihat bersenang-senang, silaturahmi ke sodara dan tetangga, pokoknya rame aja, suasana itu belum gw temuin langsung dikota besar (ato mungkin kotanya terlalu besar ya?), ah ga taulah, memang yang namanya kota itu terlalu individualis....

yang pasti tahun ini gw masih disini bingung mo ngapain di hari lebaran qurban...

selamat idul adha
mohon maaf lahir bathin,,,

SONDRE LERCHE - DAN IN REAL LIFE OST

2007-12-08T20:29:00.003+07:00

Setelah suskes dengan album phantom punch yang dirilis awal 2007 kemaren, dan menyelesaikan konsernya termasuk Indonesia (pada bulan agustus lalu), Sondre lerche kembali memanjakan kuping kita dengan album soundtrack untuk film "Dan In Real Life", sebuah drama film drama comedy keluaran Touchstone Pictures. Dalam album yang berisikan 16 track ini, solois muda ini tak lupa untuk berkolaborasi dengan beberapa penyanyi lain seperi Regina Spektor, A fine Frenzy, Lillian Samdal dan tentunya The faces Down.
Track pertama dibuka dengan Family Theme Waltz, sebuah lagu dengan aransemen musik santai dan ceria, lalu ada I'll Be Okay yang dibuat dalam dua versi Vocal & Accoustic, Dan and Marie Picking Hum juga enak buat didengar, petikan gitar santai dengan nada sendu, so calm and relaxing, kolaborasi dengan regina spektor yang berjudul Hell No juga merupakan pilihan yang menarik, lalu ada Fever yang dibawakan oleh A Fine Frenzy.
Secara umum dengan telinga buta musik, album ini enak dan sangat baik untuk sebuah album soundrtrack, yaaaa setaralah ama soundtrack "Music & Lyric", namun belum mampu mengungguli soundtrack "Once", yang secara kebetulan merupakan sebuah film musikal
berikut tracklistnya :

"Family Theme Waltz" - Sondre Lerche
"To Be Surprised" - Sondre Lerche
"I'll Be OK" - Sondre Lerche
"Dan and Marie Picking Hum" - Sondre Lerche
"My Hands Are Shaking" - Sondre Lerche
"Dan In Real Life" - Sondre Lerche
"Hell No" - Sondre Lerche and Regina Spektor
"Family Theme" - Sondre Lerche
"Fever" - A Fine Frenzy
"Airport Taxi Reception" - Sondre Lerche and The Faces Down
"Dan and Marie Melody" - Sondre Lerche
"Human Hands" - Sondre Lerche and The Faces Down Quartet
"I'll Be OK" (Instrumental Reprise) - Sondre Lerche
"Let My Love Open The Door" - Sondre Lerche
"Dan and Marie Finale Theme" - Sondre Lerche
"Modern Nature" - Sondre Lerche and Lillian Samdal

DAN DEACON - SPIDERMAN OF THE RING

2007-12-08T20:29:00.002+07:00

yap...review minggu ini...(udah lama nih ga review album)
kali ini pilihan saya jatuh pada DAN DEACON, seorang pemusik elekrtik kamar pribadi yang berasal dari baltimore, maryland. artis yang juga dikenal sebagai annoying electric composer
setahun setelah merilis album acorn master pada tahun 2006, dan berkutat dengan komputer dan peralatan elekrik dikamarnya, pak tua gendut berkacamata ini ngerilis SPIDERMAN OF THE RING (such an absurd tittle, haha), berisikan sembilan track dengan single "wooody wooodpecker".
album spiderman of the ring cukup unik dan sangat ANNOYING, track wooody contohnya, dan mengulang ketawa khas woody dengan pitch yang tinggi, dibumbui suara berat pak tua yang ngalor dibelakangnya ditambah alunan nada elektrik sebagai pelengkap, annoying but enjoyable.
satu track yang jadi paporit gw adalah "pink batman", ada beberapa ulikan nada yang bisa kita nikmati dialbum ini diantaranya "The Crystal Cat", "Wham City", "Big Milk", "Okie Dokie".
overall gw kasih point 3.5/5 buat album ini, dan deacon mampu mengolah musik just like what he and people want it, sampai-sampai mbah alt-folk sufjan stevens pun memujinya, sebuah album dengan good sense of new absurdist touch

or i'm hungry enough to die on fasting
it's just that i barely had an accident
thats it...an accident
shame on me
i was careless and so stoned
thank You that i'm still breathing,
right at the moment i'm shaking, i realize that i made and always make mistakes
yeah, i nearly crush my head, i know that God is giving me a chance,
i ask You Your Forgiveness for everything i've done, and thanks for keeping me alive

IN RAINBOWS

2007-10-05T18:51:00.000+07:00

YEAH RADIOHEAD IS BACK

just quite a while ago the most craziest and one of the greatest band in history ( i would have said that myself) has made an announcement that they already finish recording material for their latest album (seventh) and it will be self released by themselves.
the album itself called IN RAINBOWS will be thrown up to the community in two ways...

* by downloading it from their official website www.inrainbows.com, it's only half of the album though, but you can have it for free or you can pay them as much as you want ( isn't it gorgeous people...?), ohhh and one more thing you have to have to wait till 10th October, subscribe and pre-order now!!!!

* buy their full self release album for 40 ( oh i forgot euros/pounds), quite expensive huh, but i think thats worth it, couse you will have a double vinyl records some poster and other stuffs...official released on December 3rd , just take a quick tour to their site

okay enough said bout their pre-order thing and others, lets talk about the content one thing that can make you people cry, laugh, hype, dance, jump, fly, or even die maybe....

full album contains about 20 tracks...and some of us maybe already heard about most of the songs, it's not fresh but it's new, most of the song are already played in some of their life appearances and tv shows i think...
cd and vinyl one :
15 STEP
BODYSNATCHERS
NUDE
WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
ALL I NEED
FAUST ARP
RECKONER
HOUSE OF CARDS
JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE
VIDEOTAPE

cd and vinyl two:
MK 1
DOWN IS THE NEW UP
GO SLOWLY
MK 2
LAST FLOWERS
UP ON THE LADDER
BANGERS AND MASH
4 MINUTE WARNING

yup...but thats not it...
now lets talk about the fact...
yeah as far as i know these peoples are crazy...imagine after 4 year absence in the music industry (recording) and with no alarms or ideas what they were doing, they suddenly announce that these cheeky bastards has already recorded a new album...many that says it was like one of the most waited one...and the other thing that make the music industry freaking out is the fact that they self release the album and There will be no advances, promotional copies, digital streams, media sites, or etc. of RADIOHEAD's In Rainbows
wow radiohead has made the world staring at them...

quoting writing on greenplastic.com "If the best band in the world doesn't want a part of us, I'm not sure what's left for this business." yeah cool...

okeh...
siapa sih yang ga kenal radiohead, band yang tenar ama single creep dari album pablo honey 1993 itu...mereka emang ga ada matinya...gw pengen aja sih beli album package in rainbows, mungkin dengan harga 700.000 rupaih gw mesti nabung dulu...hahaha, denger denger dari rolling stone mags sih mudah2an albumnya bakalan beredar dipasaran pertengahan awal 2008...yang pasti ga lupa pre-order versi downloadnya...

radiohead - no surprises

2007-09-17T21:09:00.000+07:00

radiohead's no surprises....
it is a really nice song, like it so much

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
