Okay, so this is the first part of my review..
I came little bit late, I missed RAN, Boogiemen, and Rafi & the beat. Beside the fact that I came late, JFP change the schedule on the D-Day. So I was upset, but its okay, still lots to watch.
The first one is Ras Muhammad. I don't like reggae, clearly. I never listen to Bob marley's songs. But somehow, he change the way I see, hear, and feel reggae music. So energetic and he combined the reggae with the other genre. Also he kept the idealism of his music. I was so enjoyed by him.
The second I watched is Pandji. At first, I underestimated him, because of the talks, but he got nice songs. The backing vocal which is his wife, is annoying. The voice is so high, and my ear can't accept it, most of the audience should be agree with me. He came to the stage and also invite lots of his friends, say Barry Likumahuwa, who played Indonesia Pusaka Instrumentally and slowly. Glenn Fredly, Yacko, Rayi, Kyriz also came to the stage. Most of his songs is about Indonesia. Nothing wrong, but I just don't like someone that have too big nationalism, nothing personal too.
Then I went to Avolution Stage, the stage where you have to be 18+ to enter, with some tricks, I managed to get in. There was Arrested Development in there. Black people always energetic with their live performances. Even though I don't know their songs, I can feel the beat.
After that, I watched Tangga and J-Flow. Tangga always improved and rearrange their songs. With nice composition and choreography, the show were perfect. J-Flow made some controversy in his show, he pour all of his disappointment to JFP, the audience clap, but it may affect J-Flow carrier in next JFP concert.
The best in the last, Tortured Soul. This is the band I've been waiting for. Since their departure in Java Jazz 2007, their name blew in Indonesian's Music. The show was great, especially the drummer that sing also. I admire his stamina, he play lot of songs, and some of it is medley, and do not forget that he is also sing. But, I have to say, their show was monotone, but the skill is unbelievable.
After that I went home
Cont...
So, i should make this review from last month or so, i have this album since first day of Java Jazz, and I;m quite sure I'm the first one that bought the album, making me the first normal person to have the third album of Maliq & D'essentials.
So, it was Friday at JJF 09, i found the booth, and i bought it. Quite expensive for an album that consist only 6 songs. The price is 130.000 rupiah, mine was special edition, there are only 1000 copy. Its a huge box, consist of the CD (the one that you can buy in store), booklet, and shirt. Ya its a special edition shirt. Since its title is Mata Hati Telinga, the shirt are consist picture of Mata or Hati or Telinga. Btw, i got Hati. And it signed by Maliq & D'essentials personels. And the album itself. 6 songs. And before i bought the album, i already listen to pilihanku and Mata Hati Telinga. So there are 4 songs left that i never heard before. First one is Aura, started by orchestra, and then got into Maliq & D'essentials' Funk style, nice songs, little bit like Maroon 5 in some part. Second song is Luluh, the song that I believe going to be the second single after Pilihanku, its catchy, its easy listening, and its got some hard chord, in term i couldn't find the guitar chords. The song was easy listening, and groovy, another nice song from M&D. Third song, Jatuh Cinta, my mom said it was night jazz, couldn't agree more. But i feel like i have listen to it before, just a song to pass by.Fourth song, Pilihanku, the single. Its not jazz, but its easy listening. Maybe its not jazz again, its pop with rock, and it sound like The Police, but still i like the melody of Angga. and i like the video. Fifth song, Coba Katakan, weird chord i have to say, like Chrisye little bit, i like the last part of this song. Not too special.Last song, Mata Hati Telinga or MHT, the song have released from last year's ramadhan. Acoustic and Rolling stone says its like carpenters'. Anyway its good song, and good lyric. So overall, Maliq & D'essentials has prove that they are still leading the way in pop/funk/jazz band in Indonesia. Even though they start to go to pop. If you remember the first album, its so jazzy or soulful, that kind of sound you wouldn't get in this album. M&D are always trying to give something new in their each album. And this album the choose to be pop, but the detail are "matang". Prove that they are mature in everything.
Hey hey hey.. long time no update
so i made this new posterous site with my friends, it consist of jokes that came from our experience in school. check it out!
Khusus nih post, gw pake bhs indonesia dan bahasa sedikit tidak benar.
Ok, so first of all, Happy New Year.. Doa buat diri lu masing2 ya!
Jadi sekarang kita uda memasuki tahun baru 2009. Jujur, 2008 adalah salah satu tahun terpenting gw. Gw lulus SMP, gw msk SMA, gw punya band yg bener2 bener, dan banyak lainnya. Jadi goodbye 2008.
Tapi seperti biasa, gw suka menganalisa, dan kali ini gw menganalisa arti dari pergantian tahun itu sendiri. Intinya ganti tahun adalah kita beli kalender baru. Ada juga yg bilang, kita mulai lagi dari awal. Ya bener, dari 31 desember jadi 1 januari lg. Tp sebenernya waktu itu adalah sesuatu yg abstrak, yg membuat itu penting hanyalah angka yg mengiringinya. Betul?
Angka2 itu berperan sangat penting hingga membuat org2 mau tidur malam dan menghabiskan waktu di luar niup trompet ato nyalain petasan. membuat semuanya menjadi meriah. Sehingga malam tahun baru lebih meriah dibandingkan malam idul fitri ato malam natal. Padahal lbh pentingan idul fitri ato natal.
Sebegitu besarkah arti 1 Januari? Tidak. Kalo taun baru jatuh pada tanggal 24 Maret, org2 akan berkelakuan sama. Jadi apa? Artinya 1 Januari hanyalah korban dari waktu (ceileh). Lalu mengapa org merayakan taun baru? Menurut gw, manusia punya kecenderungan untuk mengulang. Coba aja liat org maen game, gak mungkin gak ngulang. Karena manusia senang akan fakta bahwa sesuatu dapat diulang. Jadi gw rasa, mereka merayakan taun baru karena mereka senang 365 hari yg telah mereka lalui dapat terulang dari awal lagi. Seakan-akan hidup adalah permainan, emg iya sih, tp dipermainan, sekali mengulang, lu bener2 mengulang. Di dalam hidup, tidak pernah ada kata kembali dari awal, kecuali lu reinkarnasi.
Sejauh ini, baru segini analisa gw, otak udah stuck.. Good Night.. Good Year (merk ban)
Actually this band already have 2 logos, and those are my creation, and i neverr satisfied of it. So, I decided to make a brand new logo, here it is:
for best view, please using macintosh and open at my posterous page
When people born, they realized that they need each other, they are connected each other, and they need to communicate.
Of course, the first kind of communication is verbal communication, which using our voices. Someone said, that words that coming out from our mouth only represent 10% of the communication, the rest is our body language (how we move when we say it, the intonation, etc).
Then people are moving, and voice can't reach to far place. Then, they found "Letter". So you can write, and others can read. But, sometimes, the readers can misunderstand. Probably because, words only represent 10%.
After that, Telephone was founded. Now, people from far place can hear others' voice from far place. But the invention wasn't stop.
WWW (read: internet) was found, and maybe its a biggest communication invention. You see, people interact with computer (for hours), and internet make computer connected. It means that people in front of computer can communicate, and internet is around the globe.
At first, chat was founded, but it was not like nowadays chat. Then, email. And maybe, the nowadays chat. At last, Skype. Skype make phone call is free, we can see other people face around the globe, see what their doing, see their body language. It almost like you meet the person. And it almost what I can say 100% communication. Well, that's what it called Video Call.
Actually, what you've read is only the introduction. What I want to share is the communication in this day. When technology make people easier to interact/communicate, the people itself makes it hard communicate.
For example: when you are texting/sms-ing you probably would shortened the words. If words only represent 10%, how much shortened words would represent.
Another example:
"add me...homsach_virgirl@yahoo.com LißuR ßT nehH...d0mpet 6 tipiS...m0 jLn bren9...tkt ment0X...xm5'an..klw gx ma ch0 rese..gx smangat...tp 6 bahagya k0o..aD s0ßat skali9us kk 6 trsayan9...M...R...S..."
I got this from a shoutout of a person that added me on friendster, this is what I called "Hard Communication". Somehow this makes me hard to understand. I believe if she use regular words, only alpahabet (not numeral that replacong some alpahabet) it will be a lot lot lot easier for me to understand.
Some people say it is "Gaul" when you do things like that. But why you say "Gaul" if its hard to communicate.
And, that sort of things became joke of mine and my friends. And we don't think it is "Gaul" but, "Kampung".
Well, the conclusion is, technology make us easier to interact between each other, from voice, words, photos, videos we can make people around the globe read, hear, and see it. So, let's not make it becaming hard again.
Gotta get some sleep..
To be honest, this post I made only to promote my pen spinning forum. Since I know that posterous is easier and faster to be found in google than blogger, so I think, I need to promote it again.
Indonesian, 18, Music, Rubik's, Pen Spinning, more to come..
