30 years ago today, Kurt Cobain committed suicide.
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.
Siouxsie Sioux, the Godmother of Goth, turned 63 today. This is a happy house!
Diamond Dogs turned 46 today. It was Bowie's first composition to not feature his backing band the Spiders from Mars.
The rather romantic expression was coined in 1965 as a means to transform war protests into peaceful affirmative spectacles.
62 years ago today, Jerry Lee Lewis arrived in Londonâs Heathrow Airport to start his first ever tour in the UK. His young wife, Myra Gale Brown, came with him. This was where the disaster started.
The founder, lead singer, and principal songwriter of Nine Inch Nails; the industrial-rock godfather, Trent Reznor, turned 55 today.
One of my most fave songs of all time, an Elvis Costello's classic, "Everyday I Write the Book".
A feel-good song by an amazing duo, Pomplamoose, to start your apocalyptic day; a cover of Django Reindhartâs âLes Yeux Noirs (Dark Eyes)â.
Karya termutakhir dari power trio Dialog Dini Hari yang lahir dari rasa lara, sengsara, sekaligus empati nan gigantik: Garis Depan.
A subversive little rockopedia of safety pins, padlock, and Paris Fashion Week.
In an effort to curb the spread of Spanish Flu in 1918, some states in the US quarantined citizens; others made the wearing of face masks mandatory, at the same time as shutting down âall places of amusementâ. According to a law passed in San Francisco in October of that year, on the day that state-wide infections passed 50,000, anyone seen not wearing a gauze face covering was subject to fines that ranged from $5 to $100 and the possibility of 10 daysâ imprisonment.
The Cure's Robert Smith wrote "Cut Here" in memory of his close friend Billy Mackenzie (The Associates) who committed suicide in 1997. Likewise, I'd like to dedicate this gorgeously sad song to two of my besties who passed away last month: Ayip and Gusde Sutama. Rest in power, brothers.
"Judas", from Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993), caught my attention a bit late. It took me a while to embrace it.
According to a chart compiled for BBC 2 in 2009 today, âA Whiter Shade of Paleâ was the most played song in public places in the past 75 years.
No Coachella this year. But here's the documentary. So good. Very well produced. It makes you realise that this festival is way historical.
This big lumbering brontosaurus riff, "How Many More Times," is included in my Spotify playlist, 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 & 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘪𝘧𝘧 𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴
Pasca dirilisnya album penuh terbaru mereka pada Juli 2019, Parahidup, trio asal Bali Dialog Dini Hari ini kembali dengan single âKulminasi IIâ. Secara khusus, single ini, mendokumentasikan perjalanan umat manusia menghadapi pandemi yang secara global mengubah cara hidup kita semua. Kendati menghadapi kehidupan yang mencekam, ketiganya masih bergerak untuk mencipta.
Ladies and gentleman, here's Liam McKahey. An under-appreciated charismatic male singer from UK. One of my most fave male singers.
