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.

Bumblebee & The Smiths

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 FOMO—fear 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.

Helena Bonham Carter: Life Is Art

"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."

Mambo Italiano

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!)
