i need to go back to Brasil...



super-cool band!! they had a show at roskilde and i missed it! stupid me!!!my greatest regret! there goes my chance to meet lovefoxx. Ironically, i went back straight after The Klaxons show(they both performed on the same day), yeah lucky you klaxons guitarist!, now that u have her...plus i didn't want to spend my night at the train station again (outside..not inside..bad bad experience)....and planning to be fresh the day after for Band Ane's performance!....
as for this band from Sao Paulo, CSS (Cansei De Ser Sexy), i really enjoy their music. fun..fun..fun!at the moment, i cant stop listening to them. latest news, they'll be supporting Gwen Stefani's european tour..oh please, Gwen dont spoil this super-cool band!!! i've read sumwhere that lovefoxx used to be a designer/illustrator..a colab maybe? (so that i can meet u heheheeh..).lovefoxx, ur supercool girl! :)

she's lost control ..again





joy division. cool eh? 2nd john punye cover. new dawn fades..gila layan lagu tu!
hmmm ..aku rasa aku dah recycle balik..ke lagu2 john ni..aku kene start carik band/lagu baru. bjork-volta, dah berapa ratus round aku dgr, blonde redhead-23, pun sama, Flunk - personal stereo, stadium arcadium lama aku tak dgr, ok la..maybe aku selalu mainkan wet sand ..sahaja(mungkin kecewa dgn performance diorang kat roskilde, diorang main she's only 18??!!! wtf!!..pemalas!), giardini di miro pun dah byk round, hmmm...apa lagi??!

kerja byk menunggu. rekaniaga dan freelance. again, aku kalah lagi (u know what). kene patah balik, jadi cam dulu balik. sinilah 'releven'nye lagu new dawn fades, "change of speed..change of style..change of scene....a chance to watch admire the distance..". im tired. "..loaded gun wont set you free.." :P.

tak sabar nak gi jakarta. bercuti lagi!! yeahh!!! walaupun tak sama cam gi europe, tapi kali ni aku gi bercuti dgn bao dan husin! (milan tak confirm)..so new experience! :P (shoot, i miss europe, the festivals, kazu makino, bjork..rasa nak pegi lagi thn depan..Reading maybe?..maybe gi italy, jumpa stefano dgn tiziana). life is good!..things can only get better ..hehehehehe

*lama tak buat artwork (for fun) baru :(..

i'd rather stay below


this particular song/clip is some sort of medication for me. to wake up in the morning in a cool house like that, go outside, to smell the refreshing morning air, to have a cabinet (or 2) full of cds...and importantly, doing what u enjoy the most in ur life. i'll be happy :)

i've met him once, back in 2001, and i can tell you, he's a really nice guy. i guess it was once in a lifetime opportunity, to shake hands with him and have a chat with him. a very inspiring figure. thanx

The Past Recedes

And then the past recedes
and I won't be involved
The effort to be free
Seems pointless from above
You're looking down at me
I'd rather stay below
Than have you staring up at me
It is nowhere I want to go
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
Why to be here you first got to die
so I gave it a try
And what do you know
Time was so long ago
And things come back you see
To where they don't belong
and every drop of sea is the whole ocean
I lied to the greatest thieves
about anything and everything
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
I'm out of reach
I can't play it safe
But I'm might just in case
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
I'm a working man
I don't understand why clockout
come so slow everytime
That's one line I stay right behind

Roskilde Festival 2007

i had a great and not so great time over there :P. hate the weather (ane said last yr wasnt this bad)plus kene pakai but gi pasar pasal mud dia tebal gila. but, i did enjoy all my favourite band's performance (oops..but not RHCP, poor performance!!).overall, it was an amazing festival!!!


Band Ane : very enjoyable show from a very cool girl! highly recommended if u love electronica!


Björk : raise ur flag (higher,higher)..yeah i know the song is joga..tapi aku teringat masa starting lagu declare independence(last song), aku excited gila!!wuuhuuuu!!favourite song aku!!.i love björk!!



Klaxons : one of the reason i wanna go to this festival



RHCP : poor..poor..poor.but they played c'mon girl- my favourite!!..but overall,still not-so-good performance by them..byk sgt solo..drum solo..trumpet solo..hans solo.rock in rio 2001..still the best.

Blonde Redhead - Melkweg - Amsterdam - 02.07.07

i was there :P.amazing performance!!







online magazine + fabryka

one of my artwork (siamese beauty) got published in an online magazine. go here and download the latest copy (go to zine and IC5). i dunno why, but they did some alteration to it (they cutted-out the word siamese beauty).
anyhow, im still doing the album artwork for fabryka. we (i+fabryka) are all very excited bout this project. im so excited with their new stuff (ive heard some of it, simply amazing!!)..and they like what they've seen so far in the artwork. later on, i have to make another artwork for this italian magazine. too bad, they dun sell the magazine here in Malaysia. wish me luck! :)

i can fly....






most beautiful song. you can smile and cry (simultaneously) when u listen to it. yes, that beautiful. too bad the band has been disbanded. the vocalist is one of my favourite, she has this unique voice, uncomparable (isnt she pretty too?) just like Bjork, Kazu Makino or Karin Dreijer Andersson (no, mariah carey, aguilera, beyonce or rihanna are not in my list :P). im not so sure what was on lou's mind when she wrote the lyrics but she said sumthing to do with an angel..but my interpretation would be..it got to do with our incomplete life..imperfect...sumthing sad..but at the same time we feel content..maybe thats what life is all bout. imperfect. im dedicating this song to someone special out there. u know who u r. be good while im gone :)
