Today is the 79th anniversary of "This Land is Your Land".
Oh, is that Nick Rhodes? He's the lead singer? It's his side project?
Membuka pagi dengan serbuan hebat Demi Masa. Terasa sekali bahwa mereka berdua punya akar kuat di hip hop sekolah lama. Beat-nya menderu-deru serta kerap memasukkan kepingan-kepingan rap klasik. Pula padu padan kata dan pemilihan diksinya khas MC MV: langitkan kepalan, tinju di angkasa, trengginas, berwawasan luas. Can't stop the bum rush.
Today is the 38th anniversary of Difficult to Cure.
I love both bands. Pretty much the same quantity of love. But, yeah, true, every time Morrissey, the bigmouth strikes again, I'll start questioning my loyalty to Mozâand The Smiths, to a certain degree.
38 Years ago, Bad Reputation, Joan Jett's debut solo studio album was released.
Same question that is commonly asked about Social Distortion, can Morrissey be called rockabilly?
Finally had a chance to see Bumblebee last night. I bet most of you have seen it already. I don't really follow Transformers, Star Wars, Star Trek, anything in that genre. I mean I'd still go to the cinemas to see those flicks. But mostly due to FOMOâfear of missing out. Plus I always like the ritual of going to the movies, watch motion pictures from a huge screen, and experiencing Dolby/THX/DTS, any sophisticated sound system.
"I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art."
Today, 64 years ago, Rosemary Clooney was at no. 1 on the UK singles chart with "Mambo Italiano". The song was banned by all ABC owned stations in the US because it "did not reach standards of good taste" (ha!)
Been spending most of my weekends in bed and watching this Netflix series, Hip-Hop Evolution.
Tanpa terasa, tiada dinyana, sebentar lagi kita bakal masuk ke tahun baru 2019. Jika seksama diperhatikan, di skena musik, ada fenomena menarik yang terjadi. Kota-kota besar di Jawa seperti Jakarta, Bandung, dan Jogja yang tadinya seolah menggiring selera anak muda Nusantara, belakangan tampak berkurang. Terjadi pergeseran kekuatan.
Today, Jan 03, 46 years ago, Paul Daniel Frehley auditioned for Wicked Lester. He spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist in The Village Voice magazine. Frehley auditioned for Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss. Even though they weren't very impressed with Frehley's fashion tasteâhe wore one red and one orange sneakerâthey liked what they heard from his playing.
Ha. Just found out that the grumpy granddaddy covers Pretenders classic, "Back on the Chain Gang". Not bad, Moz.
These 3 videos below show how crazy Morrissey's fans are.
Bill Murray, David Johansen*, Jenny Lewis, & co.âwhat an interesting combo!âsing one of the most gorgeous Christmas songs ever written. (Dontcha love Jenny Lewis!).
Ada paling tidak dua sosok yang gemar lari dari tanggung jawab, memilih mencuci tangan, ketika diminta bersikap tegas, menolak menjawab lugas. Yang pertama orang Indonesia: Ebiet G Ade. Yang kedua duo berkebangsaan Jerman: Milli Vanilli.
