Shakin' all over


Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. One of the pioneers of the UK pub rock scene in the 50's, they played a healthy dose of rhythm & blues back then when it have a totally different (and more dignified) meaning. They will performed in full pirate costumes complete with the eye patch and a cutlass for Johnny Kidd(which reported to use it rather dangerously on stage). This is also the band of Mick Green, the guitarist whose unique style of playing lead and rhythm at the same time inspired many other guitarist, notably Wilko Johnson from Dr Feelgood, another UK pub rock monster. Sadly Johnny Kidd died in a car accident on 1966, leaving the Pirates who continue on with a few reunion and reincarnation until today with Mick Green, Johnny Spence and Mike Roberts.

The Pirates is also very big in Japan. In 2000, they toured there with Wilko Johnson, through which they became acquaintance with TMGE. Mick Green ended up making a single with TMGE, "Kwacker" and Abe Futoshi nearly died of massive nosebleeding when he was invited to play with the Pirates on one of their song."Imagine a Rolling Stones fan doing a joint gig with the Stones....it means that much to me. The best day, ever."

Skeleton deserve 30 second to dance!


Got a link for a video for 3 HQ TMGE live footage,from "Thee Greatest Hits" Dvd limited edition.

[Live] Thee Michelle Gun Elephants - Sekai no owari-Candy House-Lily

Anyway here is the vid of Koji Ueno's side project with Muto Syohei of Katteni-Shiyagare's fame. They play mariachi punk concept, acoustically. The duet is called Muto Syohei with Ueno Koji i guess, and the song name is Rico, and i can't find any damn album on the internet. Enjoy.

hari ini hari sabtu,semalam hari jumaat, esok hari ahad. so what?

Petang tadi kuar jap pegi Tesco. Hajat nak carik charger enset motorla yg aku baru dapat. Ya, diulangi, dee-aaa-pee-aaa-teee. Da-pat. Pandai. Enset lame aku dah ancur tp maleh lak nak beli baru. Mostly dalam past 2-3 week aku off je enset tu. Maleh nak layan bbdak group FYP ak. Mak aku pon bising susah nak kontek aku. Nak wat camne aku mmg jenis insan yg x suke enset. Tp enset skrg macam2 leh buat ek. Boleh tembak laser, kuar lightsaber, rakam 3gp sex..nak henshin pon leh pakai enpon. Not like i give a fuck though. Aku dah puas ati gile dgn enset cikai yg leh wat call ngan msg je. Tp enset pon penting gak... untuk mengelakkan tragedi McD Kajang drpd berulang(you saw this coming right.Hahaha).

Flashbek- semalam kol 10 pagi kot aku baru dapat tido. Did i mention siang/malam aku dah tukar function? Aku dah xleh tido malam skang. Yeah, pretty suck. Aku salahkn 80% to 3rd year syllabus(damn you), 10% to kopi o segera indocafe, 5% to U.F.O late night supper, dan another 5% to internet. Dah aku tgh sedap tido, kul 12 aidee memekak"Aziq!! Family kao!!" Udah, mende lak nih. Aku turun bawah dgn mate merah, kepale tgh pusing- aidee naik atas, mate same merah, peluk bantal. Stay up wat cafe r nih.. Family aku datang KL nak antar adik aku gi U die, lencong Kajang jap. Rupenye dah byk kali koll enset aku mati lak. Last2 aku dpt enset motorla mak aku, die tensyen dah bebulan soh aku tukar enset x tukar2. Present for krismas kot. Aku sebenornye dah cek out rm 1.5k nak beli ibanez artcore tuh so mmg xterlintas r nk carik enset lak.

Counter flashbek- petang tadi kuar r Tesco nak topap megi ngan jajan2 lain. Usha stall mag tepi tu kot2 Rottw baru kuar ke. Overheard conversation A: dua org bdk cakap ngan sorg lg bdk. "..aah, tadi ktorg makan KFC. Rugi ko!"..

Mamat A"blablabla ko dah tengok brakedisk baru die, cantik ooo!"
Mamat B" haah, die dpt serat je, murah kot blalblalalbla.."

Tengah2 dua ayat pendek yg xpenting langsung ni, aku rase cam time stop kejap.
Environment ni cam familiar gile.

Holyshit.

Maybe Tesla does the astro..Maybe Edison is AC/DC

The White Stripes-Wasting my time




And if i'm wasting my time
then nothing could be better
than hanging on the line
and waiting for an honest word forever

And if you're saying goodbye
please don't you think me bitter
for recalling every rhyme
from the book the page
the line the word the letter

Well the windows turning blue
and the waters ever flowing
and i hope i'm not a fool
for laughing at myself
as you are going



Ahhh...Jack'n'Meg duo is still the best. Especially with their older stuff, y'know their classics like Canon, Astro and covers of Death Letter(Son House) and One More Cup of Coffee(Dylan) from their self-title and De Stijl album. I know Jack had been messing around with a couple of band aside White Stripes-The Racounteurs and Dead Weather, I think maybe he miss the sound of a full band, though the new bands sound more hollow to me if you compare them with the 'Stripes.
The 'Stripes is currently working on their seventh album after Meg recovered from her acute anxiety that forced the band to cancel their US tour in '07, and Meg need some time to start over from her 'one year dead-halt' as Jack put it. The latest offering from the duo is the film "Under Great White Northern Light", document their Canadian tour which include live concert and off-stage footage. Gonna post them links as soon as somebody rip 'em cos I dont think its even on sale now(only can order from their site).

Jack White' word of wisdom-

" It seems like everybody today is so available - ready, willing and available for anything, and will go on and be part of a reality show at the drop of a hat. It seems like nobody has any sort of dignity any more. Dylan was trying to maintain his dignity, and a lot of people from an era earlier than maybe 40 or 50 years, it was easier to maintain that dignity. But I think something's really been lost world-wide. They don't want you to have dignity, they just don't want you to. It pisses them off. They wanna tear you down if you have dignity. It scares them. They're not jealous. They're just scared I think."-The White Stripes Uncut

Oh yeah, before I forget.. if you cats out there dig the 'Stripes maybe you want to check out this band from Vancouver called The Pack A.D (stand for after death); a blues-rock, guitar-drum duet similar to the 'Stripes concept but the difference is that they are both girls. Dont be mislead tho, these chicks fuckin rocks, HARD! And their blues have this kind of old school vibe whereas White Stripes bend the blues to fit the ears of the modern masses. Still they both sound kind of similar on your first 2-3 round of their albums, Tintype and Funeral Mixtape..
Tintype, Funeral Mixtape credit to the dudes from Pascalito's Way blog.


“the Pack A.D., a Vancouver blues-punk duo that proves you don’t need a bulging package to play the devil’s music. You do need balls, though. And drummer Maya Miller and guitarist-vocalist Becky Black are packing some pretty serious gonads—musically speaking, of course.”

Face the Music: Rock Star Mug Shots

From the Rolling Stones magazine website.


Johnny Cash

Arrest Date: October 4, 1965

Location: El Paso, Texas

Charges: Cash was caught at an airport coming back from Mexico and arrested for being in the possession of illegal amphetamine capsules.



Jim Morrison

Arrest Date:September 28, 1963

Location: Tallahassee, Florida

Charges: This may have been the first time Morrison, who was a student at Florida State University at the time, was arrested by Floridian Police (this time it was for drunkeness and petty larceny of a police helmet and an umbrella), but it wasn't his last. Six years later on March 5, 1969 Morrison was arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent exposure, profanity, and drunkenness during a Doors performance in Miami.



Frank Sinatra

Arrest Date: November 27, 1938

Location:Englewood, New Jersey

Charges: Sinatra was brought up on a morality charge for his relationship with a married woman. The charges were eventually dropped two months later.


Sid Vicious

Arrest Date: October, 1978

Location: New York, New York

Charges: The Sex Pistol's bassist was arrested and charged with the murder of his then-girlfriend Nancy Spungen. He was busted again in December after allegedly brawling with Patti Smith's brother Todd, and was charged with felonious assault.

Marilyn Manson

Arrest Date:September 21, 2001

Location: Oakland, Michigan

Charges: Never one to back away from outlandish and revolting behavior, Marilyn Manson was arrested in September of 2001 following an incident at a concert in which he gyrated against the head and neck of a security guard. He was charged with fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and assault and battery, and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges (he paid a $4,000 fine).


Ozzy Osbourne

Arrest Date: May 15, 1984

Location: Memphis, Tennessee

Charges: After found staggering drunkenly down Beale Street, Ozzy Osbourne was arrested and charged with public intoxication. This charge was surprisingly mild compared to Osbourne's arrest a few years earlier in San Antonio, Texas for urinating on the Alamo.

Mick Jagger

Arrest Date: July 18, 1972

Location:Warwick, Rhode Island

Charges: After a scuffle involving a photographer, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and three other members of their entourage were arrested and charged with assault and obstructing the police. All charges were eventually dropped for the five men.

Axl Rose

Arrest Date: July 12, 1992

Location: St. Louis, Missouri

Charges: One year after allegedly inciting the legendary riot at the July 2, 1991 Guns N' Roses show in St. Louis, Axl Rose was arrested and charged with four misdemeanor counts of assault and one count of property damage. Considering the fact that the riot resulted in sixty injuries and two million dollars worth of damage to the Riverport Performing Arts Center, Rose's two years of probation and $50,000 fine seemed like a small price to pay.

Jack White

Arrest Date: December, 2003

Location: Detroit, MI

Charges: Aggravated assault. White allegedly pummeled Jason Stollsteimer of former band-of-the-moment the Von Bondies in a Detroit club.


Elvis Presley

Lesson 2one: Theres is no school like the old school

Aku dgn xmalunye menggunakan kuasa veto aku ke atas blog ini dgn mengspam video2 import legend ol skool jepon.

TMGE
G.W.D



-Takde la ol skool sgt pon tp kire generasi lepas jugak r.




The Roosters

Doushiyou mo nai koi no uta



Rosie



-Rock n roll legend zaman ujung 80's to early 90's. Influential giler, berape byk band including legend cam TMGE, Asai kenichi, The Pillows, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra cover lagu dorg. Rock kapak jepon.


The Blue Hearts
Linda Linda



-Legend punk 80's, kt Jepon dorg diangkat cam The Clash/Sex Pistols. Mainstream pon minat giler kt dorg sbb lagu2 dorg cam positive punk, xde r fuck you sana sini. Disband tp vo. ngan gitarist die bukak lgi 2 band, The High-Low then Cro-Magnon.


Flower Travellin Band
Satori, part 2



-60's-70's psychedelic band. Baru reunion balik awal 2009. Album paling feymes dorg is the revolutionary 1971 'Satori'- 5 lagu; part 1-5, guitarwork solid giler. Mmg x caye r 70's nye lagu. Gitaris die invent sitarla, sitar on guitar body.


Dan aku tutup hujah aku dgn video Bill Hicks dgn teori apsal music scene skang suck.

Lesson T20enty:G.A.S= Gear Aquisition Syndrome






Mmmmm....baaaasssss......


Giler babi cunnye beast... Ibanez Artcore AGB200 semihollow acoustic bass. Sexy gile die pakai body Les Paul,ngan finish coklat cam tu mmg..pergh vintagenye feel. Mmg dah lame plan nk up aku nye gear. Current shotgun is Aria STB series J-bass. Ok tp cam x kene je. First mase beli tu mmg aku xtau ape2 pasal gitar,haha. Cucuk duit, gi Bukit Bintang, carik gitar dlm rm500 gitu..nmpak Aria tu ngan finish sunburst die, mmg paling standout r. Pikir balik mmg rase cam noob gile. 1st kedai, 1st gitar trus beli. Should have scout more ya idiot. Dah beli baru aku perasan, sifu aku Koji Ueno(TMGE) pakai Precision bass, bkn Jazz. Sebulan aku tepuk dahi(dlm hati la). Pastu mmg mengidam nk pakai P-bass. Paling afdal Fender. Squier je kot yg aku mampu..American, fuck Mexican nye pon bkn dlm price range aku( 3K lebey beb, deym).

Baru2 ni baru jumpe band Mad 3. Yep, japanese, 3-piece garage-instro-surf-punk-rock n roll band. Bassist die pakai SG nye bass. S-fucking-G nye bass! Mmg xnah terbayang ade bass pakai body SG,punyela holyshit design die dgn batwingnye horn, setan pon bley cair beb.Pastu start target SG lak, tak istiqamah tul la aku ni. Then again price range die buat aku xnak gi group meeting je. Kalo tido boley gak jumpe bass tu dlm mimpi kn?




Tp sume tu tinggal kenangan selepas aku jumpe gitar ni. Body dah la cun, harge pon cun(1.5k something), acoustic mean aku leh main xyah cucuk, hollow body-lagi ringan,mobility meningkat dan review2 aku bace sume good.
Did I mention body die cuuuunnn giler kalah Maria Ozawa ganda dua.

Lesson 19een: This donut has purple in the middle, purple is a fruit.-Homer Simpson


The greatest fictional character that Man ever created, apart of jesus of course.

  • All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer
  • America's health care system is second only to Japan... Canada, Sweden, Great Britain... well, all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!
  • Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless.
  • Dear Homer, IOU one emergency donut. Signed Homer. Bastard! He's always one step ahead.
  • Do you want to change your name to Homer, Jr.? The kids can call you Hoju!
  • Don't eat me. I have a wife and kids. Eat them.
  • Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?
  • Here's to alcohol: The source of-and answer to-all of life's problems.

  • I wonder where Bart is, his dinner's getting all cold, and eaten.
  • If something is to hard to do, then it's not worth doing.
  • Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!
  • Let us all bask in television's warm glowing warming glow.
  • Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.
  • Marge, you being a cop makes you the man! Which makes me the woman --and I have no interest in that, besides occasionally wearing the underwear, which as we discussed, is strictly a comfort thing.
  • No! No-no-no-no-no-no! Well, yes.
  • No, no, no, Lisa. If adults don't like their jobs, they don't go on strike. They just go in every day and do it really half-assed. Thats the American way.
  • Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.

  • Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
  • When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!
  • Homer no function beer well without.
  • All my life I've had one dream, to achieve my many goals.
  • 'To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key?
  • When I held that gun in my hand, I felt a surge of power…like God must feel when he’s holding a gun.
  • Save me, Jeebus
  • No beer and no TV make Homer go something something
  • “What!? are you going to release the dogs? or the bees? or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you!?”
  • Kids are the best, Apu. You can teach them to hate the things you hate. And they practically raise themselves, what with the Internet and all.
  • Does this make me look fat?
  • We're going out Marge. If we dont come back avenge our death.
  • Marge, I swear I never thought that you would find out.
  • I discover a meal between breakfast and brunch.
  • In America, first you get the sugar. Then you get the power. Then you get the women.

Lesson 18een: In music, language mean shits..



Shocker X(formerly known as Shocker Stalin) is a band hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina. They play a mixture of metal, tango and visual kei. Vocalist Ban Lesage sings in english and japanese. You probably never heard of this band cos this one is like a super underdog one y'know. Dont release any full album yet, but a few singles, eps and 2 pvs. Not currently under any record label, move fully independent and put their records freely on the net for their fans.
Super recommended for any metalhead.

Lesson 15een: Rant in E Minor.

Good evening, my name is Bill Hicks. I've been on the road now doing comedy twelve years, so, uh, bear with me while I plaster on a fake smile and plow through this shit one more time. … I'm kinda tired of traveling, kinda tired of doing comedy, kinda tired of staring out at your blank faces looking back at me, wanting me to fill your empty lives with humor you couldn't possibly think of yourselves:

1."I was over in Australia during easter, which was interesting. Interesting to note they celebrate Easter the same way we do; commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit... left chocolate eggs in the night.

Now, I wonder why we’re fucked up as a race, anybody? Anybody got any clues out there?

Where do you get this shit from you know? Why those two things you know? Why not ‘Goldfish left Lincoln Logs in your sock drawer’ you know? As long as we’re making shit up, go hog wild you know. At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on it's back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous conotation to it.

'Mummy, I woke today and there was a Lincoln Log in me sock drawer!'.


'That's the story of Jesus'.

Who comes up with this shit?! I’ve read the Bible. I can’t find the words ‘bunny’ or ‘chocolate’ anywhere in that fucking book".


2. And I knew Bill Clinton became one of the boys when he bombed Iraq. Remember that? It was just a little news story for two days, isn’t that interesting? He launched 22 cruise missiles against Baghdad in retalliation for the alleged assassination attempt against George Bush, which failed. We killed six innocent people, launching twenty two, I think three million dollars-a-piece missiles on Baghdad, killing six innocent people. Umm … I think that’s a little bit overdoing it if you ask me. What we should have done is embarrass the Iraqis. And here’s how we should have done it: We should have assassinated Bush ourselves. “There, that’s how you do it, tow*l heads. Don’t fuck with us.” And see, if it had been Bush who had died, there would have been no loss of innocent life.

3. I had this feeling, man, cause you know there's a handful of people actually run everything. Thats true, its provable, its not a fuckin-not a conspiracy nut. Its provable. Handful, very small elite runnin all this corporation including mainstream media..I had this feeling whoever was elected president, like Clinton was, not matter what you promise at the your campaign,bla bla bla..when you win, you go into this smokey room with the 12 industrialist,capitalist scumfucks who got you in there. Well you're in this smokey room, and this film screen come down and a big guy with a cigar"Roll the film." And its a shot of the Kennedy assasination from an angle you've never seen before. And the film screen goes up and they go to the new president

"Any question?"

"Er..just what my agenda is."

"First we bomb Baghdad."

"You got it."

4. I was in Nashville, Tennesee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatchu readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, godammit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm . . . I dunno . . . I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress."

...I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

William Melvin "Bill" Hicks (December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994)

Lesson 14een: Human 100 years from now..

As the ’80s drew to a close, Asai Kenichi was reportedly trying to decide whether to carry on with his motorcycle gang or start a rock band. If he’d chosen the former, the gang would have held onto one of the coolest dudes in the country, but rock ‘n’ roll would have lost out on one of its more inventive characters. Asai then move to Tokyo to seek band members, met up with Nakamura Tatsuya and Terui Toshiyuki and form Blankey Jet City in 1990. BJC end up being one of the spearhead in Japan rock scene in their time(with TMGE of course).10 years later the band agreed to split, each pursuing their own individual career.
And from that time, Asai had created Sherbets, JUDE(pronounced yu-da), Ajico and a solo career, 4 projects which only served as a different vehicle for Asai's storytelling. Each with a different style, Sherbets: a bit surreal-psychedelic tune, Jude is more raw rockin beat and Ajico is with a female vocalist Ua. His solo is,of course, a mix of everything. What amaze me is the fact that all this 4 projects is fuckin active at the same time, meaning no band is disbanded. They just put on-hold as Asai focused on other project. Can you guys guess how many songs this guy churned out of him, 5 major band in the course of 20 years..must be more than hundreds.


My only logical conclusion, this guy hold the frickin key to God's music factory.



My favorite band is Sherbet though, with key album such as Natural and Vietnam 1964. This is where Asai's mastery of guitar playing and haunting vocal meld perfectly well, the atmosphere is almost like an abstract dream. A beautiful dream you know wont come true. One of my favorite tune is Human 100 years from now. Its a short-1:50 minute-instro that, if you hear carefully, you can almost see the future....
..and there is nothing there.




Asai also has his own little figurine(title background,dude on the left) with Chiba Yusuke. Maybe the theme is two of Japan's most influential frontman, i dont know..


Sherbets-Natural
Asai Kenichi-Rod Snake Shock Service

Just for a sneak preview cos this guys discography is, seriously would take a whole post on its own. That,and I dont have all his thing.

Lesson 12elve:Tuut..Tuut..Sari berita penting.

Sabtu,28.11.09,SABAK BERNAM: Ketika kanak2 lain sedang girang menyambut ari raye korban, sesuatu yg cibai lagi menyayat hati berlaku disebuah umah di Taman Damai. Mangsa, Jari Tengah(bukan name sebenar) menflashbek kejadian tersebut dgn sugulnya. "Aritu saye mmg saje bangun lambat sbb xnak ikot bapak saye potong lembu. Tercalar r reputasi rock saye..kalo potong pakai katana ke len r crite" Akan tetapi beliau telah memilih hari yg salah utk tdk memotong lembu. "Tak ah, lembu tu yg pilih hari yg salah utk dipotong"ujarnya menyalahkn hewan tak berdose itu.
Tragedi dilaporkn berlaku sekitar jam tengahari. Adik beliau, Homosapien A(bukan name sebenar) sudah awal2 lagi berDota di desktop buruk warisan zaman-berzaman milik keluarganye. Baru blajar main. "Noob.." ujar JT. Desktop itu tidaklah mempunyai Dota sejak azali lagi, so kene la copy drpd external HD milik JT. Tambahan pula adik bongsu beliau Homosapien D(bukan name sebenar), nak sgt citer Papadom dimasukkn kedlm desktop itu walaupon dah katam 6-7 kali. So external terbabit kenelah beraksi utk menghiburkn Homosapien A dan D.
External tersebut lantas menanggalkn pakaiannya. Desktop tersenyum dan hanya baring disitu..merenung usb cable external dgn penuh harapan. Bukanlah kali pertama dia melakukannya dgn external. Sudah lebih 4 bulan mereka berpisah.Walaupun jarak antara kajang dgn sabak bernam bukanlah jauh sgt,mereka tdk mempunyai kaki mahupun kenderaan utk bergerak sendiri so setiap peluang haruslah dimanfaatkan sebaik mungkin,fikir sang desktop. Tanpa sedar external sudah berada diatasnya. cablenya sudah bersedia.External lantas memasukkan cablenya ke soket usb desktop. Tanpa foreplay. Tanpa protection. Dan tragedi berlaku...
"Apa leh gua lakukan..nasik sudah jadi taik" komen JT, kesal. Hasil drpd hubungan rambang desktop, rupa2nya die menghidap trojan dan bermacam2 virus lagi. sang external yg malang dijangkiti,dan kini nazak, berujar,"Aku percayakan die, knape aku dibalas begini". Desktop yg diwakili peguamnye tdk mahu mmberi komen dan mahu menyelesaikan kes ini diluar court.
Damage report:
All .avi video-95% movie(40Gb+), Sons of Anarchy season 1, couple of concert. completely corrupt. 45 Gb hilang dlm sekelip mate. Takziah.

Lesson E11even: A day without learning anything new is another day wasted.


Gua dah lame sebenarnye dgr name Bob Dylan. Tapi sbb cred die cam lagu2 folk/country lame2, cam rase xtertarik r plak. Tp pas tgok citer Watchmen ari tuh..soundtrack intro die je,Times they are a-changing, dah wat gua speechles. lagu simple giler tp mmg fuckin powerful..Pas wat research sket baru aku tau mamat jew ni mmg legend besor kt US. Jimi hendrix pon cover 1 lagu die(All along the watchtower) tp mmg dihendrixkan giler r lagu tu. Kalo Jimi pon dah recognize mamat ni, sapelah aku utk argue about that. Baru perasan, dlm gambar nie muke die cam Roscharh dowh.



cibai dorg xkasi embed..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2hNhM3dHB4

so i present mr Bob Dylan himself:



"The times they are a-changin"

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Lesson 10n: Kalaulah aku leh bleached rambut aku tanpa kene triple kill ngan parent aku..

Rambut camni...





aku buat mase 1st yr..mase tu tgh obses Dillinger Escape Plan. Tengok Chris Pennie(drum) cam cool je kpale licin, aku gi mamak satu hari,suruh cukur. Die wat muke pelik..member gua wat muke pelik..lecturer Mr Balramman wat muke pelik, tanye asal gua botak. Apsal, xnah tgok org buang tebiat?









aku wat mase awal 2nd yr kot. mmg pengaruh televisyen tol..tp smart doh bdak tuh nye mohawk. Cite pon smart gak, bdak 12-13 tahun goreng Black Magic Woman..rase hina je diri gua. Pegi mamak gua kene bagi insruction lak camne nak potong, kt Bangla/India xde punk ke? Result-OK la kot. tapi mostly gua sikat tepi jek.Problem minyak rambut ngan helmet. Balik kg. parent aku wat muka pelik, paling memorable muka pak long aku merangkap ustaz a.k.a kekadang imam surau kg..mmg
priceless.









eksperimen rambut yg terlatest..dlm tgh ke ujung 2nd yr gitu. mase ni mmg bosan gileer. takde inspiration langsung..pastu Dir en grey kuar Uroboros dorang. Toshiya wat hairjob paling giler dlm sejarah DeG..tp cam menarik gak. aku trus cari barber, kdai lain-melayu lak. mamaknye b.m cam kureng ar, susah nak wat custom job. Cakap pak cik tu nk potong TEPI JE. die pelik..tanye aku minat bola ke. Gua tibai gelak. Balik umah, parent aku terkujat..aku ckp "rilek ar rambut je" On the way dari stesen bas ke umah mmg terase mak aku melawan keinginan nk antar aku ke barber. 7 hari seterusnya gua dihujani kritikan2 ultrapedas,last2 aku sarender. pegi barber yg mmg sepanjang idop aku kt sabak mesti gunting kt die. 1st word die"ha anak Lani, apehal kepala kao..meet uncle hussain?"cheit..






future plan..slicked-back Corleone style. mmg agak kurang radikal sket tp yg penting stylo.problem-xjumpe minyak rambut yg seswai lg, xtau camne haircut die. I mean aku dah suruh pakcik melayu tu potong "kasi leh sikat ke blakang". alih2 jadi cam rambut aide..hawau tol. kene carik barber baru kot. nanti ah tunggu rambut gua panjang balik.

Lesson 9ine:Studies shows that people sleep not more or less than 6.5-7.5 hr live longer-Time Online

AKHIRNYA!!!!
gua dah jumpa keparat yg selalu membikin onar buat gua xleh tdo malam.

kepada keparat yg berkenaan, bersiap-sedialah lu sbb akan gua cari walaopon lu nyorok dlm utan blakang fountain of life skalipon.

confession:gua adalah seorang kafein dan toothpick addict..sekian.

Lesson 8ight:Guitar is for the head, drums are for the chest, but bass gets you in the groin-Suzi Quatro

2 reasons why 4 strings is enuff..


rythm-Quintin Berry, solo-Doug Wimbish

Slappin is not my kind of stuff though..prefer the nastiness of pick tones.But even a monkey will appreciate this fuckin funky of a session.
Made me realise how gifted are the black people with music. Let see the list of musical icon yeah..Chuck Berry,black;Jimi Hendrix,black; Bob Marley,black;blues/jazz pioneer,black ..evident enough that music is in their DNA.However..


































....modern hip-hop/(c)rap artist(not musician) seem like a small defect in my nice little theory.

edit-while crawling up on the net later,found out about-nerdcore hiphop-. No, you dont want to know what nerdcore hiphop is.. i wish i didnt.

Lesson Se7en: Expectation is a curse..

The honey is bitter.
And the poison is sweeter.
And there is no rainbow after this rain.
