5 Tracks of The Week

1. Crystalised - The xx
This London based teenage quartet just released their debut album, and it blew me away. Crystalised is one of my favorite songs from the album, and it is my morning anthem. The soothing voice of Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim (who also play lead guitar and bass guitar respectively) really gives me chills every time i hear this song. Definitely worth to hear.


2. Passion Pit - The Reeling
The mood charger! The energetic sounds really make you want to dance and jump. Listen to this song with the max volume and you can feel that you are in an atmosphere full of energy. Michael Angelakos and co really done this song perfectly, with a VMA nomination in hand for the music video, Passion Pit definitely will stay in the music industry.


3. Malino - The Trees and The Wild
Time for some cool local music! Yes this cool new indie band is very very very worth to hear. With an accoustic sound just like Kings of Convenience, TTATW gives you the most calming songs that you will ever hear from and Indonesian band. This newcomer is definitely the promosing new talent in Indonesian indie music. Their debut album 'Rasuk' will literally 'merasuki' your soul because i can't stop listening to the whole album for a month! Visit their Myspace to know more and listen to their song


4. Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap
This song is taken from the soundtrack of 500 Days Of Summer, it features in the promo (the phot collage video) and i'm hooked by it since the first time i heard the song. The Temper Trap is also a new band and they just released their debut titled "Conditions". This song have a really great sound, with it's blisfull sound and light lyrics to remember Sweet Disposotion will get a special position in your mind.


5. Standing In The Way Of Control-The Gossip
Well this is actually an old song from 2007 ( i think) it was the anthem of Skins, the famous british television show that i've been watching this past few weeks. Poweful vocal by Beth Ditto makes this song become a poweful foot stomping punk. Perfect song to accompany you in your Saturday Night. The Gossip who is becoming more and more famous by now should put this song if they will make a greatest hits someday. I actually prefer this than the new song 'Heavy Cross', this one have more attitude to it and more powerful sound to stomp your feet and jump around like maniac.

Don't Look Back in Anger

Well you might have known about the recent split of Oasis, which is one of my favorite band in the world. Yeah i take the news seriously i even shed a tear, and to remember the month of April when i saw them in Spore makes me even sadder. I have no idea that will be my first and last Oasis concert. I really really want to see them again someday, but now my dream has shattered :"""(

I know there are a lot of people who actually happy about this split, but me no i'm not even near happy. It hits me hard and at that time the news of DJ AM died didn't even hit me, i'm too shocked about Oasis splitting up. It is like loosing one of the great Rock n Roll band. Oasis will Live Forever!


Please dont put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
who throw it all away

The Heart Of Life

Yes i'm alive peeps! So sorry for the lack of updates, i think twitter has taken over my blog. I know twitter is just some kind of an unimportant status update but... it's addictive! So, notice the slight change of my blog? I change the layout and the name. Got to give it a fresh new look you know?


Let's all dress up like a cowboy, go to the beach, and act like there's no tomorrow

Can't you hear it calling?

There's something about music concert that always amused me. I don't know why but i'm ok with spending my money to watch my favorite band to play live in front of my eyes, even though it only lasted for 2 hours (tops) but i still think it's worth every penny. Singing along with them, jumped and screamed at the top of my lung, seeing them live with my eyes just makes me feel happy and satisfied, the feeling after the concert is the best feeling ever (well according to me).

Yesterday, i have experienced one of the best concert and the most satisfying after Oasis in Spore. Phoenix rocks last night at Bengkel! And the best part is i met them at the meet and greet session held by Aksara Kemang. I'm sooooo happy that they signed my phoenix shirt and also my sister BB, oh god they're sooo nice. They are such a brave French guys, seriously they didn't cancel their concert in Jakarta because of that freakin bomb terror. Love you Phoenix, all of you are THE BOMB! :)


Oh yeah Phoenix just post a new update on their blog and they put 3 pictures of shirt. Picture No. 1 is my senior Kak Arunee and her homemade t-shirt, Picture no.2 is also my senior Kak Nurani with her homemade t-shirt, and picture no. 3 is a R.A.R.E shirt (a clothing shop owned by my sister friend) which is the shirt i buy but mine's blue not white. Cool huh?

P.S: You can visit R.A.R.E page on Facebook if you like to buy it, they have a lot of cool shirts there, trust me i have bought a lot of shirts there (Kak Errol should give me some credits for this promotion hahah)

When it's all over i'l let you know

No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...
- If I Ever Feel Better, Phoenix

This year will be a trully hard times for me and also my friends. But i'm sure we will go through it easy, AMIN! We can do it guys!

P.S: I also can't wait for Phoenix concert tomorrow! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait :)

There are a lot of excitement on this trip, maybe it's because this is my first time going to Europe and my first time going abroad without my mom. Lots of first time, eh? I hope this trip is going to be aweesomee and tomorrow's flight is going to A OK! So i will arrive in France and got back home to my beloved Jakarta safe and sound :) Also for all of my misbud friends who got sick, be tough guys! Eat your medication, consume more vitamin, and don't forget to eat!! And for myself, i hope my flu will be gone tomorrow, AMIN
