Listening to: Yeah Yeah Yeahs!!!


Holla, this is my first update after such a long hibernation, and now we’ll talking about music!!! Sebagai penikmat musik yang masih awam dan juga pendengar yang baik, gue mau sharing sedikit tentang salah satu band yang lagu-lagunya sering nangkring di playlist yang hampir tiap hari gue dengerin, and think I never get bored, at least sampai detik ini. Yup, that is Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Band rock indie atau juga sering disebut dengan trio art punk asal New York yang beranggotakan Karen Ozelek a.k.a Karen O (pianis, vokalis), Nick Zinner (gitaris, keyboardist), dan Brian Chase (drummer) ini resmi dibentuk pada tahun 2000. And fyi, YYYs udah pernah menghentak Indonesia dengan konser yang diadakan di Jakarta pada tanggal 1 Februari 2013, dan jadwal konser mereka juga berdekatan dengan kedatangan Bloc Party pada tanggal 20 Maret 2013. You guys can imagine how awesome those events!!!

Setau gue lagu-lagu YYYs emang tergolong jarang diputer di radio ataupun acara-acara musik di TV waktu masa-masa gue masih sekolah dulu, gak dulu-dulu amat sih, gue mulai suka dengerin radio waktu SMA, sekitar tahun 2007. But, thanks to MTV, gue bisa ‘kenalan’ sama YYYs dan langsung jatuh cinta pada hentakan pertama (elaaah). Gold Lion, lagu YYYs yang pertama kali gue dengerin waktu itu, dan video klip-nya KEREN!!!

Sepanjang karir bermusiknya, YYYs udah berhasil merilis empat buah album, antara lain Fever to Tell (2003), Show Your Bones (2006), It’s Blitz! (2009), dan Mosquito (2013). Selain itu, YYYs juga merilis beberapa EP, judul EP pertama mereka diambil dari nama band mereka sendiri pada tahun 2001, diikuti dengan perilisan EP berikutnya yang berjudul Machine, dan yang terakhir adalah Is Is dirilis pada tahun 2007.
Beberapa lagu mereka yang sampai sekarang masih betah gue dengerin, yaitu Phenomena dan Gold Lion (dalam album Show Your Bones), Maps (dalam album Fever to Tell), Heads Will Roll (dalam album It’s Blitz!); Down Boy dan Kiss Kiss (dalam Is Is), Sacrilege (dalam album Mosquito). Sebagai penikmat musik, menurut gue lagu-lagu YYYs ini lumayan asik dan bisa bikin mata melek pas lagi garap skripsi, enjoy :D

Aku dan Aurora: Menatap Utara dan Selatan

Melihat Aurora, seperti sedang menjelajahi keindahan dalam novel Haruki Murakami. Melihat Aurora, seperti sedang berbaring di hamparan padang rumput dengan suara domba yang sedang sibuk bercengkarama. Melihat Aurora, seperti sedang berdiri dibawah hujan bunga Sakura yang berguguran. Melihat Auora, seperti sedang menyaksikan seluruh keindahan sekaligus kehancuran dunia yang digambarkan kedalam bait per bait lirik lagunya 'The Seed'. Aurora dengan rendah hati memperkenalkan tentang keindahan semesta, kebebasan, kehidupan dan kedamaian. Suatu ketika, Aurora bersabda dengan senyumnya yang menawan, "When I'm in the studio creating music, I'm the mother, the father, and the child. I'm everyone. I'm the entire world, and God", " All you can hear is the sound of of the water dan the little bird sitting in that tree over there..., I'm a kind of person who feel like there's something trying to pull me back home." Lalu Aku. Meliha...

When I saw Me

I got a dream, last night. A dreamed when I saw me. I talked to me. I stared at me. I touched me. I cried, I cried a lot 'til i couldn't breathe. I smiled, I laughed to me. I told me everything, I threw up every single thing from my head. I didn't feel any fear, but joyful. We played, gave a hug each other, we held hands. I felt relieved, it seems like we fell in love. I saw nothing but me. Then I said to me, "I wanna be with you, believe me, I always thinking about you." "Why are you so sure? When do you think of me?" "Everyday, almost my whole life." "Okay then, you should die first anyway." "I was dead, many times only to see you..."

A Bedtime Story #2

Once upon a time, there was a mama cat who lived in a basement. She just gave birth to five cute kittens: two boys, two girls and one both. Yet, after a month, just as the blizzard came, one of her daughters got sick, dying until she didn't breath anymore. She was mourned, couldn't sleep for days. She felt angry, then cried before her daughter dead body until there's no single tear was left. Along with all of the sorrow, she brought her to the kitchen, she cut her into pieces, then gave it to the children.  "My dear, this is your sister, you all can eat her. Feel her, taste her. Always remember how it taste like.  Then, we can show our love to her, attached to her. Now, eat it!" -Fin-
