When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

DAVID COVERDALE.. ROCKER? ATAU MANUSIA?

a rocker..
a real soulful rock vocalist and a great leader of whitesnake, but i bet he would still have the same sense in relation to these..

a fight on his own..
being momentous to what or whom he belief..
barely conscious gets the thought of "isn't something missing?"
that unimportant and so insignificant gesture
an absence of reality..
suppressed by all of the childish fears
not alone? been alone all along..

yes, it is a goodbye..

mungkin orang menyangka ku tak pernah terluka, tegar bagaikan karang, tabu cucurkan air mata, andai mereka tahu rasa dalam hatiku, lembut bagaikan salju dan menghangatkan kalbu, kadang kurasa lelah harus tampil sempurna, ingin kuteriakkan..

rocker juga manusia, punya rasa punya hati..
jangan samakan dengan pisau belati..

(Seurieus Band - Rocker Juga Manusia)


ya..
rocker juga manusia..

Kaastengels Kriuk Kacang Saya


memang ternyata tidak mudah membuat kastengels kriuk jikalau bahan dan tekniknya terbatas. sebenarnya agak sedih karena hasilnya kok GENERIK sekali seperti tersedia DI MANA MANA. ah, tingkat kecerdasan saya memang seperti pembajak yang cuma bisa mengikuti selera pasar kacang ah kacang. jadi maaf kalao hasil akhirnya bantat dan membosankan.

sudah begitu makin lama makin keras adonannya dan kurang kecap enggres. ah well, kalau tak laku juga tapapa. tapi tetap akan saya kirimkan ke alamat alamat biasa. ditambah satu diekspor ke
bandar maguro di Odaiba dan satu disimpankan untuk peneliti perempewi abad ini asal Texas. berikut susunannya, siapa tahu ada yang mau pesan lagi atau malah kensel :

01. Somewhere Only We Know - Keane
If you have a minute why don't we go -Talk about it somewhere only we know - This could be the end of everything - So why don't we go - Somewhere only we know... track tampa sitar plus kibor tapi bisa tetep drykustik. apaitu drykustik? garing tapi akustik? tentu tidak. ya kalo sudah tidak sederhana jangan dibikin susah. mudah toh? mudah kepalamu!

02. Reoffender - Travis
lagu yang cocok didengarkan setelah digebugin pacar karena pahit-asem-asin. katanya cinta, katanya sayang, tapi mengapa dikau begitu tega. pidioklipnya saja babak belur apalagi mendengarnya. Everybody thinks you're well - Everybody thinks I'm ill - Watching me fall apart - Falling under your spell...

03. The Alchemist - Coldplay
simply sweet. pasti terinspirasi sama percobaan Newton yang gagal maning gagal maning. ya kalao gagal harus mulaen dari awal, son. masalahnya chemistry nya masi ada nggak ya? And tell me you love me - Come back and haunt me - Oh and I rush to the start - Running in circles - Chasing tails - Coming back as we are...

04. Look What You've Done - The Jet
Give me back my point of view - Cause I just can't think for you - I can hardly hear you say - What should I do, well you choose... idiiih rocker cengeng mewek ya begini inihh. tapi kan tapi rocker juga manusia punya rasa punya hati jangan samakan dengan pisau belati. hei ini seurius pake pompa jet kaleee.

05. Gravity - Embrace
Can you hear my heart beating - Are you hearing that sound - Cause i can't help crying - And i won't look down... buat mereka yang sedang rindu tidak kesampean lalu setelah bertemu tatau misti bijimana selain mual muntah mewek. aih mengharukan sini sini biar mama peluk nak.

06. Say Something - Haven
dasar penipu kamu penipu benci aku masak bohongnya cuma sama aku aja sich. bukan begitu tapi kalau sedang tak menentu hati dan mulut bisa tak sepaham. ah yayaya begitu. I spend my time collecting all these scars - And I know I'm lying by the truth that's in your charm - I hope down inside - I can't be what I'm not...

07. Inside of Love - Nada Surf
begini rasanya kalau iri hati melihat kawan berpacaran dunia milik berdua yang lainnya ngontrak. aih aih sedikit yang mereka tahu itu semua datang dengan konsekwensi masing masing. padahal lagi bete aje kali nggak? I wanna know what its like - On the inside of love - I'm standing at the gates - I see the beauty above - ...Of course i'll be alright - I just had a bad night...

08. Misread - King of Convenience
The observation I am doing could - Easily be understood - As cynical demeanour - But one of us misread - And what do you know - It happened again... lagu paling keren abad ini dikulik pake gitar kocok. kalau mau berteman ya berteman saja. tidak usah pakai kasih pertanda. aih sadis nih sadis. kampanye keju mencerdaskan bangsa. tahu tidak, lagu ini seperti dibikin kusus buat kamu. iya, KAMU! =P

09. Out Of Time - Blur
sebenarnya karena jatuh cinta sama videoklipnya. di atas kapal induk dengan pesawat tempur yang mendarat di tengah laut lepas. seorang officer perempuan membatin perlahan, "how can you still love someone who you don't know anymore?". dasss, perih aih perih. tae ah melankolis banget lo, det! Where's the love song - To set us free - Too many people down - Everything turning the wrong way around...

10. Maybe Tomorrow - Stereophonics
I wanna breeze and an open mind - I wanna swim in the ocean - Wanna take my time for me - All me... laid back semi galau dengan iringan subab subab. menyuarakan kegundahan para pegawai yang tidak diberi cuti oleh manajernya bahkan disuruh membeli shisamo segar di Minamata. ahhh sedapnya nasip.

11. Televators - The Mars Volta
bukan lagu cinta! intronya bikin saia merasa seperti di dalam pilem Planet of The Apes. sitarnya bikin merasa seperti kesetrum setrum lalu melayang ke Saturnus. abstrak bin absurd? ya memang begitu. Pull the pins - Save your grace - Mark these words - On his grave!

12. Symmetry - Mew
If only you'd try to be polite - Thinking you were right - Only to find that you're unkind - But ironically you will always be - Belle of the ball - At least to me... hidup kucing! ah lagu favorit saya saat ini. sememangnya lagu ini tidak secerdas Am I Wry? No dengan pertukaran 3 birama dalam satu komposisi -a fucking beautiful fallacy!-. tapi ini track yang paling eerie penuh harmoni bikin terbang tidak kembali. memang kalau sudah cinta diapain saja jadi gelap mata. keren sekali untuk didengar tapi jangan sambil nyilet yah.

13. Like A Friend - Pulp
saya juga bukan penggemar berat Pulp karena trauma oleh Common People nya yang... eeeuuughh! >___<;; tapi untuk yang satu ini saya harus mengakui tingkat kecadasannya dan kecerdasannya yang macam tertampar jap kiri hoek kanan 30 ronde. turut serta meramaikan barisan sontrek Great Expectation juga loch. Come on and kill me baby - While you smile like a friend - Oh and I'll come running - Just to do it again - You are the last drink I never should have drunk - ...You are the dream I never should have caught - ...Let me tell you now: it's lucky for you that we're friends...

14. Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional
So turn up the corners of your lips - Part them and feel my finger tips - Trace the moment fall forever - Defense is paper thin - Just one touch and I'd be in - Too deep now to ever swim against the current - So let me slip away... angsty angsty denial pol tenan. i-am-a-lover-no-more. hoooi sadar hoooi, kalau sudah kalah dan punah mengakulah. speechless neh speechless. pengsan ah pengsan. Peter Parker kok pengsan sich?

15. Somewhere Out There - Our Lady Peace
ahh, sama sekali bukan versi cadas dari yang lagu ini. bukan untuk pemimpi ini pesannya lebih realistis. kalaolah memang sepatutnya diperjuangkan, tetaplah gigih walaupun harus bergerilya dengan Jenderal Soedirman, RA Kartini maupun JP Coen. yoooshhh!!! Down here in the atmosphere garbage and city lights - You gotta save your tired soul - You gotta save our lives - Turn on the radio to find you on satellite - I'm waiting for the sky to fall - I'm waiting for a sign...

16. The Second You Sleep - Saybia
cocok buat stalker yang suka mengamati ehem nya yang mengantuk dan mau tidur tapi tidak tega menyuruh stalkernya pulang lantas dikasi kunci pintu nanti kalau pulang suru tutup sendiri. hei stalker macam apa itu? I stay awake and watch you fly - Away into the night - Escaping through a dream...

17. Sweetest Goodbye - Maroon 5
Dream away everyday - Try so hard to disregard - The rhythm of the rain that drops - And coincides with the beating of my heart... berpisah itu sebaiknya dilakukan dengan baik baik jadi akan dikenang dengan indah. tapi kalau ketemu lagi ketemu lagi apa benerannya sudah pisah yah?

ya sudah sampai jumpa di edisi berikutnya! ^____^;v

Maroon Five at Shepperd Bush Empire Vs Stroopwafels

I've been the needle and the thread. Weaving figure eights and circles round your head. I try to laugh but cry instead. Patiently wait to hear the words you've never said. Fumbling through your dresser drawer forgot what I was looking for. Try to guide me in the right direction. Making use of all this time. Keeping everything inside. Close my eyes and listen to you cry. I'm lifting you up. I'm letting you down. I'm dancing til dawn. I'm fooling around. I'm not giving up. I'm making your love. This city's made us crazy and we must get out...

Can you see me. Floating above your head. As you lay in bed. Thinking about everything. That you did not do. Cause saying I love you. Has nothing to do with meaning it. And I don't trust you. Cause every time you're here. Your intentions are unclear. I spend every hour waiting for a phone call. That I know will never come. I used to think you were the one. Now I'm sick of thinking anything at all. You ain't ever coming back to me. That's not how things were supposed to be. You take my hand just to give it back. No other lover has ever done that. Do you remember. The way we used to melt. Do you remember how it felt. When I touched you. Oh cause I remember very well. And how long has it been. Since someone you let in. Has given what I gave to you. And at night when you sleep. Do you dream I would be there. Just for a minute or two do you? You ain't ever coming back to me. That's not how things were supposed to be. You take my hand just to give it back. No other lover has ever done that. Heartache heartache I just have so much. A simple love with a complex touch. There is nothing you can say or do. I called to let you know I'm through with you..

When you refuse me. You confuse me. What makes you think I'll let you in again. Think again my friend. Go on misuse me and abuse me. I'll come out stronger in the end. And does it make you sad. To find yourself alone. And does it make you mad. To find that I have grown. I'll bet it hurts so bad. To see the strength that I have shown. When you answer the door pick up the phone. You wont find me cause I'm not coming home. You do not know how much this hurts me. To say these things that I don't want to say. But have to say them anyway. I would do anything to end your suffering. But you would rather walk away..
(Taken From: Must Get Out, Through With You, Not Coming Home)



yak..
walaupun sedikit berganti rasa..
dijamin panganan satu ini tak kalah dengan kudapan2 rasa keju..

o mengapa ini bulan puasa selalu ngomongin kueh2 camilan.

Fall...
With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts..

It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...

(Pieces Of Me - Ashlee Simpson)

Kaastengels Kriuk

bulan puasa selalunya dimeriahkan oleh kehadiran kue kering kegemaran keluarga yach... apalagi kalao mau menjelang lebaran, tentu hantaran toples kue dari tetangga-kerabat-sanak saudara bergelimpangan di mana mana... berhubung kemarin pasokan cetakannya sudah datang, saia berencana mengirimkan hantaran sepesial lebaran kepada para penghuni sekalian... sepertinya saya mau membagikan kaastengels alias kue keju kering ala enggres yang sedikit alot kepada anda sekalian... mohon dikirimkan alamat pengiriman tida usah disertai perangko balasan pada

berikut adalah sampler kaastengels sing garing untuk dinikmati bersama sementara menunggu paket dukduk tiba :

Where you are seems to be
As far as an eternity
Outstretched arms open hearts
And if it never ends then when do we start?



I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand

And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did receive


Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say


How does it feel to know
you never have to be alone
When you get home
There must be someplace here
that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I

Dream away everyday
Try so hard to disregard
The rhythm of the rain that drops
And coincides with the beating of my heart


Sweetest Goodbye - Maroon 5

As If..

ini entah kenapa, mungkin karena kekenyangan makan berupa-rupa roti selama beberapa selang waktu ini..
dari roti bakar, roti canai, croisant, bagel sampe kue ulang taun..

jadinya kok ya terngiang2 lagu2 rasa keju..


sejenak ku sadar
harapku mulai sirna
mengguncang sisi jiwaku..
hasratpun meronta
merebak dalam tanya
adilkah dunia bawa ku melangkah..

tatap cermin diri
cari jawab akan tanya
gelap hampa tiada warna..
sudah hapus saja bila raga lelah tuk mencari
adilkah dunia bawa ku melangkah..

pudar hilang sudah
anganku kan dirimu
tinggalkan luka batinku..
laraku mendera, mendekam dalam rasa ini
adilkah dunia bawa ku melangkah..

oh.. bilakah semua kan menjadi nyata
dalam hidup ini..
oh.. bilakah cintaku slalu terasa abadi
selamanya..

(Bilakah - Ada Band)

bayang dirimu mendekap manja
menjelma mesra bak mentari menyapa dunia..


ps.
mas dika, thanks for the info..
reverb and chorus shall rules!
hail roscoe beck!

pps.
hei terima kasih atas kirimannya yang sama sekali tidak berasa keju..
pak kabag saya suka sekali..
terima kasi ya jeng mbakyu..

o lagi lagi lagu rasa keju..

"These words are my own
From my heart flown
There's no other way
To better say
I love you...

I love you, is that okay?"
(Natasha Beddingfield - These Words)

WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR

"People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing..."
(Watching The Wheels)

memang kamu gila. tapi saya suka kamu gila.

"I feel the sorrow, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel the life, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world"

(Oh My Love)

dicampur sama kegilaan kamu itulah maka saya memujamu setengah mampus.
biar gila tapi romantis.

"Don't believe in Elvis,
Don't believe in Zimmerman,
Don't believe in Beatles,
Just believe in me..."

(God)

Elvis biar untuk ibu saya. Robert Zimmerman biar dicover Guns N Roses saja. Beatles saya percaya kerana ada kamu.

kamu... ya kamu... saya percaya kamu.

"If you want to be a hero well just follow me..."
(Working Class Hero)

saya jadi sekarang kerana mengikutimu. ingin sekali sepertimu.

*TING NONG*

ah itu dia, pengamennya sudah datang.

"Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four..."

(When I'm Sixty-Four - The Beatles)

jikalau masih hidup maka usia tepat Enam-Empat hari ini.

selamat ulang tahun...





ini kuenya kok tidak dimakan?

JAPANESE SUPERSTRAT



The original Strat’s 21 frets were expanded to 24; giving the player an increased range up to two full octaves. The body thus gained longer and more sculpted horns. Humbucking pickups were added to increase power and output, as well as offer tonal variations not before available on the original Strat. Perhaps most importantly of all was the heavy-duty tremolo system. This double locking design (originally developed by Floyd Rose) allowed for improved pitch return and a new era of players emerged who could drag sounds out of the new superstrat never before imagined.

Hooray.
It is back.
