Because coolness is having courage…!

Un Chien Andalusia is like passion for Jackson Pollock’s Number 5

I don’t know, I think the greatest strength an artist or a musician can achieve is when she/he can actually ‘reappropriating melody’. Coming from a sonically loud and abrasive punk background, I have come to a realization that ‘reappropriating melody’ is the most difficult process of creating art; music, if you wanna call that art also! I have been betraying music for so long by disregarding melody. Monotony, repetitiveness and mediocrity have been the central tenets of punk, and I had embraced this approach for so long. There’s nothing wrong about harshness in your art, but there’s nothing sinful about melodies in your art too. There are times when we need sandpaper, but there are times when we need lime also. And how magnificent I think it would be if the two are juxtaposed. Hence, my respect for those who can balance these two opposite forces together. Hail to The Stone Roses, Francis, Albini, Malkmus, Guy de Bord, Deal, Cobain, Mascis, Chippendale and every Dadaist and Situationist on earth!  Because coolness is having courage…

Oyi!

hello ari.. belanda is cool nampaknya ya ( secara banyak salju )
semoga kepribadian lo juga tetap cool dan asik serta jauh dari sifat sombong :)

oh ya mau denger single terbaru nervous breakdown ga ?
kasi gw email lo bro.. dan akan gw kirim

singlenya berjudul pollinationtech maniac,

anyway ini tulisan yg keren.. coolness is having courage

tapi menanggapi si ogifran.. kalo menurut gw c nyari nada yg asik itu ga susah..
jika pada saat membuat nada tersebut, sang musisi yg bersangkutan bisa total jujur dalam mengexpresikan suasana hatinya lewat nada yg di buat..

dan ga selamanya semua yg aneh itu keren… yg penting jujur aja dulu, keren ga keren bodo amat.. hehehe \m/
