It's kind of fitting that he passed just after the most recent episode of SVU had Fin mention what Munch was up to. Almost like one final reminder that he would never be forgotten. And he never will.
“Timur” by The Adams is named after Ario’s son because he came up with the music while the kid was sleeping. But the lyrics - which I wrote - are about me and my hopes, fears and anxieties. That the title spells “Rumit” in reverse is just a coincidence that the band ran with.
The next time you read about rape, molestation, harrassment and other forms of sexual abuse and violence, remember the names of Marwan Dasopang and Komisi VIII who said passing a law to keep human beings safe was “difficult”.
I find this incompetence difficult.
Back in the day people used to say melayu pop bands like Radja, Wali, Kangen Band and ST12 sucked.
Now they sing along loudly to every word.
Life is much more fun when you stop trying so hard to be cool, isn't it?
Here's a new song by Danilla from the upcoming movie KKN di Desa Penari, with music composed by Danilla and Lafa Pratomo, and lyrics by me (!)

I don't know her and am only reading this story because it got retweeted. But yeah, using someone's private pain without their consent to humiliate them for the sake of entertainment is a dick move. Especially if you're supposed to be their friend.

Tonight's setlist and a Spotify playlist of

's 20th anniversary concert. All albums represented, some more than others. Glad they didn't do the usual cover of "Aku Cinta Kau & Dia" because that leaves room for playing more of their own songs.
May all victims find the courage to speak up when they’ve been hurt. And may we all stand with the victims who do speak up, even when they’ve been hurt by those close to us.
Noel Gallagher once wrote, "Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock & roll band who'll throw it all away."
Noel Gallagher also said that Matty Healy is a "slack-jawed fuckwit."
Both things are true. Especially today.
It's been eight years and the setlist has changed quite a bit but this is still the gold standard for Indonesian band collaborations.

gig. I've never done it either, even though I wrote the darn words they're singing along with 😅
Getting an entire festival cancelled and endangering the community he was supposedly standing up for by being a petulant tool should rank among the dumbest rock & roll moves of all time. Never mind one of the dumbest moves of Matty Healy's life.
I'm a Queer Malaysian. I know nothing about the 1975 nor Matty Healy, so here are my unbiased thoughts about the whole issue that happened at GVF (a thread)
So they promoted a festival, cancelled it, made excuses about the refund process, then put on another show and cancelled it because they're scared of the people whose refunds they still owe? What a bunch of cowardly amateurs. Nothing is good about this.

Bagi yang kirim amplop ke alamat yang tercantum di kover album pertama Weezer, di surat balasannya ada lirik serta formulir untuk pesan merch dan gabung di fan club resmi. Tinggal isi formulir dan kirim bersama uangnya. Kaus sekitar Rp 45000 dengan ongkir. (Kurs US$1 = Rp 2500)

Never seen an artist self-sabotage their own reputation to such a degree and in such a short time. Going to take a shitload of work to build back trust in them.

at the cinema I recommend picking up the adaptation graphic novel. It fills in a lot of gaps they couldn't get to in the movie, with Marvel-level artwork by a guy who used to draw X-Men so you know it'll look good.
My main hope after last night's Maliq & D'Essentials concert is that they do more of their own shows (or even tours) in which they get to showcase the wider variety of their material as opposed to only taking jobs where they play the hits for 45-60 minutes.
@maliqmusic
A good way of supporting your favourite band is by not embarrassing them because you harassed some random person on social media for not liking them as much as you do.
It's also a good idea to not harass random people on social media, period.
Got an early sneak preview of Hindia's debut album, Menari dengan Bayangan, for a special supplementary project.
Two thoughts:
1. Listen to the whole thing from start to end.
2. Have a box of tissues at the ready.

Besides the music, I guess the ballroom wedding vibes must have rubbed off.

But true to the album's title, it will slowly grow on you and eventually not let go.
And this is one of the most gorgeous songs they've ever created.

Tonight's Bon Iver setlist. Justin played "re:Stacks" on his own instead of "RaBi", which was fine by me because it was one of my personal highlights when I saw them in Singapore 2016. Too bad

If you believe your religion is peaceful, then reject its leaders, teachers and followers who condone hatred and violence towards others. Do not give them space to represent you and your beliefs.
