At one time u feel that u r all alone in this world, nobody seems to care and no one around u anymore. Then there will be time when u feel like everybody needs u..like damn need u! By that time u will feel that the world is moving around u and u don't have to walk coz everything will come across u while it's moving. Then it will stop again, and u have to walk or run or swim or fly or whatever to keep ur point of view of "things are moving".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This is me i think. I walk thru people every now and then. Some of them might recognize me and some might not. I see their lives like reading a storybook or comics or journals. Sometimes in this journey, people would call me for help or just wanna have a chat or wanna make friends temporarily. I'm ok with it coz at least i can take a little rest and let the world moving around me for a while....and after that it just goes on and on...the world will stop moving and i will walk again until the next call.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">If let's say i can be the 8th of The Endless, what name should i bear?</span>DefMafiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383492331324643751noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626190179750803792.post-55742735764088043012008-09-01T11:11:00.003+08:002008-09-01T16:31:12.659+08:00KEMBALI<span style="font-family: arial;">A year without blogging. Yeah I know, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;">it's been a while</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> (cliche statement when someone left blogging for a damn long time).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">In conjunction with Butterfingers latest album called KEMBALI, I would like to dedicate this post as a 'KEMBALI' post. A come back which conclude everything that has happened throughout a year of no-post-syndrome. Let's KEMBALI to my tagline above:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Life: </span><br /><ul style="font-family: arial;"><li>It seems good. I've been graduated recently and just finished my convocation ceremony. I've got a job in Vastalux Energy Berhad (Formerly known as Vastalux Sdn Bhd).</li><li>Music is still being a major part of me. But lately I've seldomly played my guitar much maybe because of my buzy-ness working and came home late and then get tired. The industry have seen a quite drastic changes with all the so-called 'indie' bands popping out from everywhere! Whenever i went to gigs, the crowds are not the same as before anymore. The generation has changed. We'll talk about this changes later ok...ehehe</li><li>Political wise, we're paving our way to Putrajaya soon InsyaAllah. I love living in the countr which is full of surprises. It's like living in a circus, watching those clowns performing and expecting many surprises which are surely will happen. This is...MY country recently.</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Lovers:</span><br /><ul style="font-family: arial;"><li>Thank God it has been a wonderful experience. Just let it go when the time was right.</li><li>It's good to know that some of us are already married, engaged and (ehem ehem) waiting for a newborn baby! Alhamdulillah, hidup makin sempurna.</li><li>For those who recently found their loved ones, spread the message to the whole world! Let the love be a gigantic MIRROR to the world! Give them the reflection of love!</li><li>.....................buffering..........................</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Leftovers:</span><br /><ul style="font-family: arial;"><li>Please press the rewind button to return to the previous subtopic (Lovers)</li></ul><span style="font-family: arial;">Let's not talk too much here. This is just a KEMBALI post. Just a brief new intro for a new season.

Somehow it makes me think "When was the last time i had a weekend like dis??"....weekend yg mmg xde aktiviti penting utk dihadiri atau dikelola....weekend yg x payah risau nk stadi for test or quiz.....weekend yg x payah risau pasal any assignment yg blom buat (ade sbenanye sket2...but still can handle la)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Pagi td aku g KLIA utk anta kazen aku balik Jepun....tengah2 tunggu kazen aku check-in...ternampak la aku 2 org minah omputih ni kalut kibut berjalan anak pantas bak nk terkencing tang tu gak....tetibe minah omputih nih stop n sorang drpd die tuh duduk n muntah2 dlm plastik....member die sorang lg try menenangkan keadaan ngan gosok2 blakang member yg tgh muntah nih....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Ape yg aku nk ckp tentang cite di atas bukan pasal minah tuh muntah....tp sbb ape yg aku nk cite rite now nih...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">On the same time...ade 2 org polis bantuan pelancong lalu kat depan antara aku n omputih tuh...ape yg polis ni ckp, "batal posa", kate sorang drpd polis ni kat member die.....dan on the same time gak ade dlm 3-4 org polis bantuan pelancong PEREMPUAN MELAYU berdiri dlm 2-3 meter drpd si pesakit yg tgh muntah nih...but what they did?? bile nampak je minah tu muntah...all of them left the place ngan muka yg macam annoying gile....n tinggal sorang je polis kat situ....yg pada pandangan aku langsung x membantu....hanya berdiri dan memerhati walau dr jarak dekat.....bukan kate nk pegi tanye "mam can i help u?"...tidak sama sekali!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Somehow it makes me think.. ape nk jadi ngan masyarakat Malaysia skang?? Ok la mayb aku bersalah gak sbb x offer pertolongan...but for God's sake there were soo many police there yg spatutnya ade authority yg lebih utk tolong orang!!! n what they did was just watching n doing nuthin!! Cukup la sekadar insiden peluru hidup kat Batu Burok recently...jangan la nanti sampai tourists pun komen pasal ke-tidak-peduli-an polis kita terhadap keselamatan dan kebajikan mereka sepanjang berkunjung ke Malaysia yg mmg terkenal ngan sikap rakyatnya yg 'peramah' dan 'berbudi pekerti mulia'....bodoh kan?? Nah!! Inilah REALITI!!</span>DefMafiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383492331324643751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626190179750803792.post-32371392230011364212007-08-30T01:38:00.000+08:002007-08-30T02:39:23.667+08:00A Trip To Sabah : Sesuatu Yang Indah<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2rhZTWlOSjQn_LVV3yUmi1-Egq4KCbGBi7LOkBDdI8_ucJ14Zk5bIYoM7Jr1gLTWmGEjAU39dQXzf2M7hRr8A6GtMefnjjopgT7xpgdZiIhJtpTibzxqL7LaIYt6Z-aBcfcBsVSB2yNQ/s1600-h/DSC00228.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2rhZTWlOSjQn_LVV3yUmi1-Egq4KCbGBi7LOkBDdI8_ucJ14Zk5bIYoM7Jr1gLTWmGEjAU39dQXzf2M7hRr8A6GtMefnjjopgT7xpgdZiIhJtpTibzxqL7LaIYt6Z-aBcfcBsVSB2yNQ/s320/DSC00228.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104193109197780898" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br />Sabtu, 25 Ogos 2007<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Flight delay!! damn la Air Asia...flight patut kul 9.15pm delay smpai 10.30pm....mmg BAB..!!

Let's say if you like pizza sooo damn much, and you want it to be your main course everyday. For breakfast, lunch, tea-time, dinner, supper...you always want that pizza like you already fall deeply in love wif it. So now you're shifting your pizza, from twice a week to an everyday meal, without changing its current conditions, which are; it's pizza; it's your most favourite food. It's just that you don't want that pizza to dissapear and lost in time. You don't want others to take your favourite pizza. But it's ok if others still like the same pizza, as long as they don't like it as much as you do. You want that pizza to be there for you always...coz you believe that there's no one on earth can love that pizza as much as you do...but you still want it to be the same pizza, same taste, same ingredients....could it be possible?<br /><br />It's always possible for me....<br /></div></div>DefMafiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383492331324643751noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626190179750803792.post-31498526294035201312007-01-14T09:27:00.001+08:002007-01-15T22:48:59.399+08:00Butters & Friends : Butter Worth Pushful 10th Annyversary Showcase (130107) @ ZOUK KL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPLqh-T9ma-T6FPFr828lHmsVuPYjbjBsRUwPbm4SLswdJ7oRmqTnMSsL_LD8nAS2OSX216hqv7GBk9mG76rTJcSbDF54lpZ7_OfY7XEkh3VzJnVpEw1Ue8mTCovwcy-MFhRBO9IZDGpA/s1600-h/DSC00860.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPLqh-T9ma-T6FPFr828lHmsVuPYjbjBsRUwPbm4SLswdJ7oRmqTnMSsL_LD8nAS2OSX216hqv7GBk9mG76rTJcSbDF54lpZ7_OfY7XEkh3VzJnVpEw1Ue8mTCovwcy-MFhRBO9IZDGpA/s320/DSC00860.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020269161731547058" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br />Butterfingers</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> did it again this time!!

But briefly, it started around 3.30pm, i was at the main stage watching </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Tempered Mental</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and in the middle of the show i moved to </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Indie Stage</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and watch </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Y2K</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> there. It's just like that, moving here and there. At last i get to watch performing at Rock The World. I still remember when i first met them, i asked</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"> Ajin</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> (Guitarist) "Apsal x main kat rock the world?"...and he said "Tu la..blom sampai mase lg kot"....hahahaha...and it all paid yesterday. KUDOS to Brainhead!! Others most awaited act was </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Infectious Maggots</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Koffin Kanser</span><span style="font-family: arial;">. It's been so long since i watch Koffin Kanser performing live. And i never watch Infectious Maggots before, i only read bout them back when i was at secondary school...and truly...they just like what i read...a very tight hardcore set!! double-pedal cam peluru!! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">The sound system</span><span style="font-family: arial;">...hmm...i would say the best was at Indie Stage...it all mixed well. The </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Main Stage</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> had the most poor sound system. I don't know why but there was like a soft barrier that wrap the sound from coming out. So sad when </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Love Me Butch</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> had to play with such sound...</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Meng</span><span style="font-family: arial;">'s guitar dengar sket2 je!! Not enough energy to boost la!! But anyway...i entered the mosh-pit when LMB's playing and </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Kapal</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> raised me up to the air...let me sit on his shoulder so i was like on top of the world!! hahahaha thanx dude!! Even there were 3 performances on the same time, the sound didn't mix with each other, so if you're at the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Discovery Stage</span>, you won't hear other stages' sound when you have a band performing right in front of u.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">The magic about RTW is that even if you go there all alone, u might meet someone that u know!! Seriously dude...i've been to Rock The World for years and i met lots of people, and we still know each other till now. But it's not like fren-fren things la. It's just for the sake of music! hahaha...oh yea i met </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Emmett (Butterfingers)</span><span style="font-family: arial;">, he went there all alone without </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Terrina</span><span style="font-family: arial;">, and we gave flyers to the crowd. Rock The World is definitely the benchmark when it comes to local music scene. People gathered just for the sake of music. Don't care if you're metalheads, punkheads, skankin, raggamufins, skinheads...we're all bonded together...</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">No Boundaries! Under One Flag We Stand!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I would like to express my heartful gratitudes to all the bands and organizer for such a wonderful event. A big THANK YOU to </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Matlut</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> for picking me up at KL Sentral, to </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Kapal</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> for his hospitality, to </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Evert</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and all </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">UNITEN</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> students for being there, to </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Jalal</span><span style="font-family: arial;">, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Jeri</span><span style="font-family: arial;">, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pok Chat</span> for being there also, to </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Sabti</span><span style="font-family: arial;">, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Peja</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and his gf for accompanying me a lot throughout the concert, to all the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">music lovers</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> for taking part and share our passion together, and lastly, to all of u who read this blog...heheheh...</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">UNITE!!</span>DefMafiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383492331324643751noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626190179750803792.post-33939357361995525782006-12-13T08:27:00.000+08:002006-12-13T08:48:34.512+08:00Epitome<span style="font-family: arial;">Assalamualaikum....and good morning...it's 0827hr and i've already wake up....waiting for my class at 1100.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">First thing first...about the hottest film in town now...<span style="font-weight: bold;">CINTA</span>....i've watched it 2 times....on sunday 10 Dec and tuesday 12 Dec...komen??.....hmmmm.....i dare not to giv any comments la coz u can see it for yourself kan....betapa movie tu dpt sambutan...everyday sure ramai gile or <span style="font-weight: bold;">SOLD OUT!!</span> so??? for those yang x tgk lg tuh...what r u waiting for?? pergi lah menonton bersama yang tersayang....x kesah la makwe, pakwe, member2, adik, kakak, abang, adik ipar, ex-gf, ex-bf, long lost love, mak, bapak, atuk, nenek, sume bole!!! hahhahahhah...seriusli worth it!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanx to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Beha</span> for spending ur time wif me on 12 Dec....it was a perfect day!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanx to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kema, Intan, Kumei</span> for ur time on 10 Dec...</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanx to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Azam</span> sbb bagi pinjam keta...serius beb i owe u big one!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Here's a latest buzz for u all....kpd semua peminat <span style="font-weight: bold;">BUTTERFINGERS</span>...nantikan kemunculan mereka pada <span style="font-weight: bold;">6 Januari 2007</span> utk sesi <span style="font-weight: bold;">unplugged</span>....dan <span style="font-weight: bold;">13 Januari 2007</span> utk <span style="font-weight: bold;">Butter Worth Pushful Showcase</span>....lokasi dan maklumat2 lain tu akan diberitahu kelak....so be prepared!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rock The World 7</span> is just around the corner...lagi 3 hari je...so i'll be reviewing about the event in my next post here....til then...bye!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"Kalau kita nak....mesti ada cara kan?"</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Petikan daripada filem CINTA</span></span><br /></div>DefMafiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383492331324643751noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626190179750803792.post-58840164548489996852006-11-30T00:01:00.000+08:002006-11-30T00:48:21.989+08:00DREAMS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/6480/930931418426611/1600/891059/game-of-you.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/6480/930931418426611/320/13688/game-of-you.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />I've just finished reading <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Sandman Vol. 5 : A Game Of You</span>. The story about <span style="font-weight: bold;">Barbie</span> n her dreams, the evil <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cuckoo</span>, Barbie's companions, weird creatures, weird dreams...huh...everything is just weird in sandman.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Went out to meet <span style="font-weight: bold;">Aniese</span> today, she got a new baby sister. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Asha Zahra</span> if i'm not mistaken. A very cute baby girl, but quite small. We talked n talked for bout an hour there. Me, Beha, Lee,n Jaa.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I told my parents bout my result, GPA 2.18. Well, of course it's not an excellent one but they (my parents) react like i've won a gold medal or sumthin. What a big surprise though...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">For a while i sat n thought, how dreams can change our world. Dream is like an infinite world where you can travel beyond impossibilities, some called it imagination, i called it a realm. It is in dream where you can learn bout life. It is in dream where you will know how to appreciate something. Considering both bad dreams (or some called it nightmares) or good dreams (or sweet dreams?).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Can you ever imagine a world without dreams? How can we appreciate delight if there is no delirium? How can we own a car if we haven't dream of having it? How can we value the taste of winning if we never had a dream of it, or mayb, if we always had nightmares of losing or being a total loser? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">My parents appreciated my result so much just because they already had nightmares of me getting really bad grades. I gave it to them, the nightmares, the bad dreams. I love someone-you-know-who-you-are because she's my dream, that drove me hope. My friend Aniese are so proud of having a baby sister, because it's one of her dream to get another one.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So can you imagine a world without it?

So sit back and read carefully...<br /><br />Grunge; Apa itu Grunge?? Seringkali kita terdengar perkataan ini disebut2 sama ada di peringkat budak sekolah rendah, sekolah menengah, universiti, orang kerja,</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> orang takde kerja, semua pasti pernah terserempak atau</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> terlibat dalam ape yang dikatakan Grunge. Tapi yang menjadi persoalan ialah apabila disoal, lain pula jawapan nya. Ada yang terus </span><span style="font-family:arial;">mengatakan "Grunge tu <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kurt Cobain</span> la!"...ada pula yang berpendapat "Grunge tu budaya negatif, dadah, arak". Jadi ape sebenarnya Grunge??<br /><br />Grunge berasal dari <span style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle</span>, sebuah bandar di Barat Laut AS. Pada tahun 1970an dan 80an, muzik <span style="font-weight: bold;">heavy metal</span> dan <span style="font-weight: bold;">glam rock</span> amat kuat pengaruh di AS. Band2 seperti <span style="font-weight: bold;">Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Queen, Black Sabbath</span>, semua ini boleh dikatakan antara nama besar dalam scene muzik AS ketika itu. Ketika scene metal sedang melonjak naik, </span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Punk</span> juga sedang mengumpul pengaruhnya di AS. Punk berasal dari <span style="font-weight: bold;">British</span> melalui band sep</span><span style="font-family:arial;">erti <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sex Pistols, Rancid</span> etc...baiklah, kita hentikan cerita tentang Punk, nanti melalut plak.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Jika dilihat daripada perkembangan muzik Seattle di atas, tidak salah untuk kita katakan yang Grunge adalah gabungan daripada kedua-dua genre muzik met</span><span style="font-family:arial;">al dan punk. Grunge itu RAW, mentah, kotor. Tapi jangan salah anggap, itu hanyalah terma muzik nya sahaja (walaupun ramai pioneer grunge mmg macam tu)...hahahaha....cuba anda bayangkan gabungan antara riff gitar yang berat daripada muzik metal...cuma lebih bingit (kurang Gain, kuat Treble)...dan dimainkan dengan tempo yg sedikit perlahan daripada muzik metal (seperti punk)...itulah muzik Grunge...at least...pada awalnya. Liriknya berkisarkan tekanan perasaan, kehidupan masyarakat, sosial dan lain2. Berbeza daripada punk yang sering bercerita ten</span><span style="font-family:arial;">tang kebebasan mutlak, penentangan, pemberontakan...grunge lebih versatile stail muziknya...tidak terikat dengan apa2 jenisan...mahupun rock bingit atau akustik...selagi ianya raw...dengan bunyi gitar yang kadang2 disusuli bunyi feedback amplifier...itulah Grunge.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Grunge bukan sekadar muzik semata2, ia merupakan state of mind...meliputi fesyen, view of life, muzik....pendek kata semua mesti grunge lah! ! Baju lusuh (bundle laaa...), kasut kanvas (converse? jack parcel?), rambut serabai, jeans koyak sket2....itulah fesyen para <span style="font-weight: bold;">Grungies</span> pada awalnya (skang pun ade lagi). Tapi jangan disamakan grunge dengan punk atau metal...punk ade dresscode tertentu mengikut fahaman mereka...ade falsafah tertentu...metal pula ketika itu mesti dark, mesti rambut panjang gile....glam rock toksah cite la...baju nampak dada luas, seluar ketat, rambut mengerbang, headband....fuuhhh...name lagi glam-rock kan...glamour!!<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Pengasas Grunge?? hmm...susah untuk saya katakan disini...ta</span><span style="font-family:arial;">pi ape yg saya tahu, orang pertama yang menggunakan terma Grunge ialah <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mark Arm</span>, vokalis band <span style="font-weight: bold;">Green River</span> (kemudian<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mudhoney</span>) ketika mendifinisikan muzik bandnya sebagai "pure grunge, pure shit!". Dari saat itu, media telah melabelkan semua band yang muziknya agak2 sama dengan Green River sebagai GRUNGE. Ada yang melabelkan <span style="font-weight: bold;">Neil Young</span>, bekas anggota <span style="font-weight: bold;">P</span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">earl Jam</span> (masih ingat lagu <span style="font-weight: bold;">Keep On Rockin' In A Free World</span>??) sebagai <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Godfather Of Grunge</span> kerana kekerapannya menggunakan distortion gitar dan hasil kerjanya bersama band lama <span style="font-weight: bold;">Crazy Horse</span>.<br /><br />Awal 90an; Grunge masuk mainstream! Inilah saatnya dunia mengenali <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nirvana</span>, Pearl Jam, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Alice In Chains</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Soundgarden,The Smashing Pumpkins</span>, Mudhoney dan banyak lagi!! Grunge sudah mula menular keluar daripada kepompong S</span><span style="font-family:arial;">eattle dan pelbagai festival muzik seperti Lollapalooza telah diadakan sempena 'demam' Grunge!!</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> Cuba anda dengar lagu2 band di atas, pasti anda akan berkata "Yang mana satu grunge ni? Semua lain2"...hahahaha....tapi jika diamati ciri2 yang telah saya berikan sebelum ini, pasti anda akan jumpa persamaannya. <span style="font-weight: bold;">MTV</span> telah mula menayangkan video2 klip band grunge seperti Soundgarden dan Nirvana. Label2 besar telah berani untuk mempertaruhkan band2 ini di arus perdana dunia. Ketika ini kita dapat menyaksikan zaman kemuncak grunge, yang telah menenggelamkan metal (yes..even <span style="font-weight: bold;">Metallica</span> pun susah nk cari makan lepas <span style="font-weight: bold;">Black Album</span>!!) dan muzik2 lain.<br /><br />Kematian Kurt Cobain pada 1994 telah memberi impak ya</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ng besar kepada scene grunge dunia. Ini diikuti dengan berita kematian <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kristen Pfaff (Hole)</span> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">dan sebelum itu, pada 1990, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone)</span> telah meninggal dunia yang membawa kepada pembubaran band tersebut. Semua kes kematian disebabkan overdose Heroin. Ini telah mem</span><span style="font-family:arial;">beri tamparan yang hebat kepada scene Grunge. Mereka dilabel sebagai penagih dadah dan golongan yang tak bermoral. Tahun 1996 telah menyaksikan banyak band grunge berkubur. Pearl Jam dengan album terakhirnya No Code, Alice In Chains membuat persembahan terakhir bersama vokalisnya <span style="font-weight: bold;">Layne Staley</span> (yang meninggal dunia pada tahun 2000 juga kerana heroin), Soundgarden dan <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Screaming Trees</span> turut merilis album studio terakhir mereka. Nirvana juga telah merilis album live mereka <span style="font-weight: bold;">From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah</span> yang merupakan rilisan terakhir mereka sebelum menyepi selamanya. Itulah tahun terakhir yang menyaksikan otai2 grunge dunia bergiat dalam scene muzik. Grunge telah mati (Grunge is Dead) dengan meninggalkan 'anak2' nya; <span style="font-weight: bold;">Alternative</span> dan <span style="font-weight: bold;">Post-Grunge</span> yang lebih radio-frien</span><span style="font-family:arial;">dly muziknya (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Creed, Nickelback</span>)..sekadar </span><span style="font-family:arial;">menyebut beberapa nama</span><span style="font-family:arial;">.<br /><br />Sekarang di Malaysia sendiri telah banyak band yang lahir daripada demam Grunge. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Butterfingers</span> ialah nama besar yang tak harus disingkirkan daripada proses evolusi ini. Cuma lama kelamaan mereka 'dituduh' telah lari daripada asal usul mereka...Grunge. Tapi jika dilihat definisi Grunge itu sendiri sebagai sesuatu yang raw...mentah...unpolished...Butterfingers still got it right! Sukar untuk saya bercerita mengenai scene grunge di Malaysia kerana usia ketika itu baru setahun jagung (darjah 5...darjah 6 camtuh). Tetapi yang pasti, ramai anak2 muda sekarang yang 'Grunge'-nya hanya sekadar ucapan. Mereka tidak tahu asal usul dan root asal muzik itu (masih ada budak skolah yang mengeja Grunge sebag</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ai Grunch! hahaha). Sedarlah bangsaku...<br /><br />Di bawah ini saya sertakan riwayat hidup Grunge. <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">Hijau</span> un</span><span style="font-family:arial;">tuk</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> band yang telah pupus. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51); font-weight: bold;">Oren</span> untuk band yang masih aktif. <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;">Kelabu</span> untuk band yang agak2 akan aktif untuk 2-3 taun lagi.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/6480/930931418426611/1600/698470/e4cbacfa1612399f5fb4e3b7a8cf265d.png"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/6480/930931418426611/400/489119/e4cbacfa1612399f5fb4e3b7a8cf265d.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span>DefMafiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383492331324643751noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626190179750803792.post-13665266395269777612006-11-15T11:38:00.000+08:002006-11-15T14:22:14.047+08:00The Sky Is Falling...<span style="font-family:arial;">It's a sunny Wednesday...nice weather outside (i must enjoy this sunshine b4 the whole sky is covered by darkness...it's monsoon season)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">well...come to think bout <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">music</span>...bout the scene...i must admit that we're all here are much lack behind from others...or should i say...outsiders...let's make a little comparison with Europe shall we :<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Architecture - lack 20 years</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Movies - lack 10 years or more</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Music ??? well..let's not compare it with Europe...just take Indonesia as another body...i must admit that we're lack about 100 years from them (???)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Now the matter is a big <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">WHY</span>...why we're so left behind?? why can't we do it like them?? why can't we create our own masterpiece??...so i got a few reason here :</span><br /><br /><ol style="font-family:arial;"><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Budaya terikut-ikut</span> - yes it's true my friends...we're soooo crazy bout ikut2 orang...follow golongan purist yang seboleh2 tak nak muzik tu evolve...nk kekalkan originality lah konon...tak kire lah mainstream, underground,or tradisional...terlampau nk mintak approval drpd orang2 otai dluh b4 buat sumthin...golongan yg melampau ni la yang membantutkan evolusi muzik tu seniri...kalian setuju?</li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Budaya tangguk</span> - x dinafikan...aku tangguk kat kat universiti (hehehe)....but when it comes to music...aku nampak orang kite menangguk tak hengat!! see...if somebody or some bands out there main muzik same cam certain2 bands...let's say...macam <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Nirvana</span> la...sume orang sanjung...sume orang ckp "Ini la Nirvana Malaysia!"......tp bile ade band yg ubah sket muzik Grunge tuh ke level yg lebih tinggi...orang akan cakap "Ini Nirvana tak jadi!!".....it's the same wif nowadays <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Indon-Fever</span>...sume orang dah jadi bodo....asal band Indon je...tros jalaannn....kasi tabik baeekk punya.....i must admit dat ade band Indon yang btul2 bagus macam <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Dewa19</span> n <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);">Padi</span>...but some of them are just RUBBISH!!! actually diorang pun copycat gak....try study sket pasal diorang...compare muzik diorang ngan band2 old-school dulu from US or Europe....mesti ade nampak kesamaan yang ketara</li></ol><span style="font-family:arial;">Dulu kalo x silap aku <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">M.Nasir</span> pnah kutuk artis2 yg perform kat <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Juara Lagu</span> (in this one particular year) buat persembahan yang primitif...lalu mcm biase...sume org melenting x hengat!! tp bile dipikirkan balik...btul gak ape yg M.Nasir cakap...mmg primitif...dok dalam gua seniri...tanak kuar...tanak explore...tanak evolve</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Why don't we change a lil bit??
