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.

WhiskyTalk-teaser
A fun educational conversation about single malt Scotch whiskies—Speyside, Islay, Island, Highland, et al. We'll do a whisky tasting, too, so you have better understanding why Islay whisky (i.e. Lagavulin) usually have a smoky character, while Speyside whisky (i.e. Glenlivet) generally light and grassy.

Today, 52 years ago, Rolling Stone made their debut. The price was 25 cents and it had a free roach clip to hold a marijuana joint. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards weren't too happy that there was a newspaper using their name and not even put them on the cover of the first issue.
ComingUpRoses-Facebook
Just discovered this Singapore's magnificent shoegaze unit, Coming Up Roses. Saw them performing at Hard Rock Cafe Singapore a few nights ago, falling in love instantly. Been listening to this song on repeat. Melancholy and atmospheric yet beautiful. Sad and gorgeous vocal style. Shoegaze at its best.
Jane-and-Serge
“I met Serge through taking a role in a French film called Slogan. To begin with, he didn’t like me because my French wasn’t very good and he’d been hoping that Marisa Berenson would get my role. Everybody told me he was a mad, bad, dangerous Russian, but after a dinner together I discovered he was very charming."
THEWHO-MYGENERATION
On this day, 54 years ago, The Who released the single "My Generation" in the UK. The song has been said to have "encapsulated the angst of being a teenager," and has been characterised as a "nod to the Mod counterculture".
OrdeBaik-1
Buat yang bilang, Prabowo itu akan jadi suruhannya Jokowi, atau Prabowo itu cuman nunut berkuasa … berpikirlah! Dia akan mengatur TNI, habitatnya. Dia akan menentukan anggaran TNI. Dia masih memiliki pengaruh dikalangan perwira-perwira militer. Klean yakin dia hanya akan jadi pesuruh? Dan bukannya idola klean itu yang justru akan jadi pesuruh? Kemudian kalian bilang ini adalah langkah jenius dari grandmaster catur politik?
