'Special' Track of The Day - Atromen by Fakry

Sedang aku mengetip-ngetip keyboard aku - semasa aku sedang asyik dengan bubbles komik terbaru yang aku tangah dok tengah tulis... tetiba dikejutkan officemate aku memberi aku dua link (melalui YM) yang cukup buatkan aku ketawa berdekah-dekah. Bukan seorang, bukan dua tapi empat orang officemate aku yang forwardkan link video ini kepada aku. Encik Fariz, Vovin, Zaxx dan Cik Jamy dengan berkobar-kobar nak aku tengok klip ini. Bila aku tegok je ejaan dia... A.T.R.O.M.E.N aku dah boleh agak yang si pembuat atau pencipta klip ni tak lain tak bukan orang kampung aku....ya, Kelantan. Belum load aku dah gelak sakan sebab neuron-neuron otak aku ni dah ligaht bersedia dengan lawak "bahasa" yang melampau-lampau. Bukan aku gelakkan "bahasa ibunda" aku...bukan. Tapi klip tu dah bawa aku kembali ke "zone" aku... sebab malam ni pun aku nak balik kampung, jadi elok sangat la kan! He! He! He! Dengan bangganya aku persembahkan Encik Fakry kita dengan video- Atromen!

Buah Tangan Dari Anak Kelantan

Sesapa yang tak berapa nak faham dengan subtitle, ni antara beberapa terjemahan aku rasa betul yangt:
- yae - yang
- lawenyo - lawannya
- ken - kan ( cthnya: selamat ken ; selamatkan)
- batue - bantuan
- ame - aman
- deneso - dinosaur

Pendapat aku pasal klip ni. Well...kalau aku puji lebih-lebih nanti orang cop aku ni buyers! Papa tak buyers! Kan?! Hehheh.... Okay, memang jarang-jarang sekali aku boleh tengok klip mcm ni..selain dari "popstar" Zainudin dari Golok yang dikenalkan oleh bandmate aku, Mesir. Salah satu produk Melayu Siam yang... boleh la... mampu buat aku tersenyum! Cuma klip Atromen ni aku confuse... masa klip Ultraman gaduh tu...memang klip original ke atau diorang yang buat balik.... Rasa-rasanya?!

Pictures of The Days

Keindahan Ciptaan Tuhan

Mungkin aku akan dianggap obses, pelik, jakun atau pun poyo. Tapi siapa korang nak tentukan apa yang aku suka dan apa yang aku tak suka. Itu hak aku kan? Okey, untuk entri Pictures of the Day yang pertama ni... aku nak kenalkan bintang yang suatu hari nanti (percayalah) akan menggegarkan seluruh bumi nusantara dan asia. Iya, bukan dari Malaysia - itu sudah tentu. Rings any bells? Okay, kalau korang ingat aku suka Siti...sorry sikit.. Aku tidak se-nasionalis sampai macam tu. Ini dia insan istemewa yang hanya akan hadir satu orang dalam satu ratus tahun. Untuk Vovin, aku tahu kamu juga suka bangat sama dia kan. Dan kepada Cik Aliya kita...mengaku jelah kau suka kat dia. Sebab apa aku suka pada dia...kita tunggu untuk entri akan datang. So gentlemen, buckle up your seat and lihatlah keindahan ini.

Track of The Day - Boys Dont Cry by The Cure

Actually this is a very,very,very old songs. It just that...today.. i wanna take you all to walk straight down to the memory lane. As usual, in this "great" Mondays, rasa begitu malas nak buat kerja. Why?! Because Sundays always come too late. That is so damn true! What the hell, on YouTube, i can see everything. So, bagus jugakla ada benda alah ni kan? Angguk kepala tanda setuju! Hehehehe! Okay back to this track. I guess everyone of you already knew about this track and thinkin, "what the heck is this guys thinkin about? This not new stuff! This old stuff!" Well kids, thats why i called it, Track of the days! Track for me. Apa yang menyedapkan halwa dan nafsu telinga aku tuk sekian hari itu. Okay, get it? Back to this track (again!). This Songs was genuinely crafted by the hands that gave us the new dimension of sub-music in the early 80's... from the hands that gave us the new meaning of the future musics call indie to electronica to emo to what ever music you wanna name it. Its Robert Smith and co. "Co" di sini maksudnya, Michael Dempsey dan jugak Lauren Tolhurst. "Boys Dont Cry" was the second track to be released by The Cure in the year of 1979.
It was released in U.K as an independent released in 1979 but later was included in U.S marketed album as one of the songs tittle in Three Imaginary Boys. For me personally, i think this is one of the most brilliant, outstanding, great, inspiring songs by The Cure. The melody, the lyrics.... all in one package. To be honest, The Cure has been my inspiration and my "mentor" in writing lyrics. What more can i say about this great band. Who am i to give even a good comment bout their musics. The great, great, great The Cure




There a lots of band out there, who play cover The Cure's songs especially this track, "Boys Dont Cry"
The band like Reel Big Fish often perform a cover song in live setting. And the infamous The Smashing Pumkins also tease of the songs in many occasion in their live performance. Oleander the least known band to many Malaysian (i guess) released a studio recorded cover of the songs on their album and coplete with the video. The album title, i dont remember and im too malas nak check. Sorry! One emo band, Hell Is For A Heroes (from Sweden i think, but make an impact in US n UK) recoreded the songs in their B-Sides for their single Retreat. Maybe ada banyak lagi band yang suka buat cover lagu ni, bukan sebab nak cuba jadi The Cure, tidak! Kerana rasa hormat, kagum dan rendah diri kepada kehebatan the one and only The Cure!

the lyrics....
The lyrics tell the story of a man who has given up trying to regain the love of a girl that he has lost, and tries to disguise his true emotional state by "laughing, hiding the tears in eyes, 'cause boys don't cry".

Well, great songs never been forgotten! Right!

Hail to The Cure!!!!

My Fellow Friends..... This is not a speculation... It is true

P/S - My band Missing Chapter is on the list but... it is special 'coming home' playing on our territory!

Track of The Day - Am I Wry? No by Mew

Well, actually this is not a new song, in fact was taken from their previous album (the new album is And The Glass Handed Kites). This track, Am I Wry is taken from from their acclaim album that put them into the scene especially in U.S and U.K. Secara yakinnya aku aku boleh katakan album inilah yang meletakkan mereka sebaris dengan nama-nama besar band-band di Eropah. Sudah tahu di mana asalnya band ini. U.K? Bukan, sama sekali tidak... hanya band dari negara belah Scandinavian sahaja yang berani bermain dengan sound dan melodi yang macam ni. You all must be heard about the great band from Finland, Sigur Ros, right? Well, im not comparing or nak kata yang mereka ini sama, tapi just to show you the idea yang band sound macam ni "mostly" come from in that region! Okay little bit about Mew (not a lagendary Mew in Pokemon, okay!) This Danish band, was formed in ... i think 1995. Band ni terdiri dari 4 peria muda. Jonas Bjerre, Bo Madsen, and Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen, after former member Johan Wohlert yang selepas itu left band ni untuk jadi seorang family man sepenuh masa. This band is originated from Hellerup, Copenhagen in Denmark. There is a lot of opinion on what genre they were playing but for me it is simple but quite complicated. Senang cerita Indie and occasion on progressive rock dan kadang kala tu some people called them "pretentious elegence indie-rock" or "art-rock".

Okay, kita berbalik kepada track ini, track pertama di dalam album Frengers ni. Lagu yang berputar selama 4:54 saat ni mampu membawa aku, keluar mencari jiwa aku aku, marah! Bukan sebab aku upset tapi dek kegeniusan suara dan ritma yang dihasilkan anak muda negara pembuat Carlsberg ni. With these simple word aku gambbarkan track ini; apocolyptic, psychedelic, mathematical, surrealistic, these boys can sing to the heavens like angels while hammering out their demonic guitar and bass riffs. First time i got this track to my ears ( udah lama ya!) i'm so impress, shock and amaze. Sebab tak banyak band dari negara selain U.S and U.K yang aku dengar.
I love how their music is both tight and intricate, but also expansive, and always manages to sustain rock and roll as its focus, without becoming too cerebral or conceptual. And the most things that stand out in this band is Jonas Bjerre vocals! The vocals are stunning - lead singer Jonas Bjerre, still sounds like a choirboy, hitting clear, gorgeous high notes well inside a soprano's range, but with a post-puberty adam's apple. Excellent! Very,very,very much recomended!
