About
Music journalist, writer, radio DJ, socio-political activist, creative industry leader, and a qualified librarian, Rudolf Dethu is heavily under the influence of the punk rock philosophy. Often tagged as this country’s version of Malcolm McLaren—or as Rolling Stone Indonesia put it ‘the grand master of music propaganda’—a name based on his successes when managing Bali’s two favourite bands, Superman Is Dead and Navicula, both who have become two of the nation’s biggest rock bands.
On this date in 1963 Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered âI Have a Dreamâ, one of the best known speeches in U.S. history, second only to Lincolnâs 1863 âGettysburg Addressâ.
The next big thing from Bali: MANJÃ. Here they cover James Bayâs âLet It Goâ and Mark, Nick, and James do it so very well. A top-notch atmospheric art pop reinterpretation. Hush hush, they'll release their debut single in a few weeks!
SUNDWON BEATS. A brand new music program, still with a solid passion and a true dedication to bringing you quality live music in beautiful open-air settings of Madeâs Warung Seminyak. Every Thursday, 7-9pm, host: MANJÃ.
JAZZ AT MADE'S. Madeâs Warung Seminyak newest venture, dedicated to Blue Note believers; swing-soul-funk disciples; jump, jive anâ wailers; and sophisticated Seminyak jazzanovas. Every second Wednesday, 7-9pm, host: Yuri Mahatma Trio.
TERAS ROCK RADIO, Rumah Sanur's newest music program! Rock-oriented songs curated by swag beat selectors. Live show and live streaming from Instagram @rumahsanur. Every Monday, 5.30-8pm.
Doug Fieger would have been 68 today. Do you even know that "My Sharona" is actually taken from a girl with the same nameâSharona Alperin?
He would've turned 71 today. Happy birthday, Phil Lynott! Bring Thin Lizzy boys back in town!
All the drawings and writings that I have produced from the very first one (April 2019) till quite recently (July 2020), all tidied up into an album.
Aldous Harding remains delphic, enigmatic, a bit sunnier (than her 2017's Party), though no less peculiar.
Matt Berninger, the oaken baritone singer of The National, is like the Neil Diamond of indie rock.
Robert Smith penned âLovesongâ as his wedding present for Mary Poole in 1988. The two are still together, their rock 'n' roll marriage bucking the odds and showing no signs of, well, disintegrating.
Ann Druyanâs note is irrefutably one of the most poignant letters ever written about the special peculiarity of love.
41 years ago today, disco was killed by a public backlash with the infamous Disco Demolition Night at Chicagoâs Comiskey Park. At least 9 were injured and 39 got arrested.
Today, 51 years ago, "Space Oddity" by David Bowie was released. Inspired by Stanley Kubrickâs film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), the song is about the launch into space of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut.
Tonight I'll have a virtual chat with Rini Siallagan, regarding the new normal in Indonesia's music scene. Live on Instagram: @rudolfdethu @rinisiallagan; Tuesday, 7 July 2020; 7.30-8.30pm Bali time. Hope to meet y'all on Instagram tonight. Cheers.
In 1979, Brenda Ann Spencer (16) opened fire on Grover Cleveland Elementary School shooting eight children and three adults which ended up killing the schoolâs principal, Burton Wragg, and the caretaker, Mike Suchar. Spencerâs shooting became particularly notorious for inspiring Bob Geldof to write âI Donât Like Mondaysâ.
