Send in the clown, we're having a party!
[ mood | overwhelming ]
[ music | Tori Amos - Take To The Sky ]
It's been raining for a whole day, so I'm quite stuck at home. Sleep alot.
Realized that I need to upgrade some broken drawing pens (how dare they betray me!), I go out. And buy myself a copy of new Alternative Press magazine. It's thicker than I've ever bought before.
Slick design, :)
[p/s: it's Coheed & Cambria.]
[p/s/s: This is no Chris Pennie A.D, a.k.a after Dillinger.]
No, we're not having a party, no clowns. Just a nice cup of teh tarik near Neonet , division Kg Tiong.
Paya Art Day went well, so well, that I think to continue it next Friday.

selamat hari raya, syawal tahun ni 1426
esok raya 6, jadi selamat hari raya 6. tak sempat nak greeting raya awal2. jadi, salam dihulur, maaf dipinta.
ada la sekali aku balik kampung berapa tahun sudah dari kl ke k trganu, bas pukul 10 malam, tapi duit aku tinggal berapa kupang je (atau seingat aku, takder sesen pun!). kena plak bas aku sampai kat terengganu lepas subuh, sedangkan aku tunggu sebelum waktu berbuka. jadi aku ter-extra puasa masa tu.
mujur tahun ni aku puasa kat terengganu, kat rumah ayahanda ibunda. takder la kes haru masa balik kampung......

from the guys who made the RADIOHEAD font possible - Büro Destruct
cover art : Tool - "Ænima"
the year was 1996. masa tu, suma orang baru nak dengar nirvana, heh! tapi radio kerajaan masa tu kira rock-lah jugak sebab ada program alternative rock show sepanjang 5 jam, setiap malam jumaat. time highway pun. (teringat dikejutkan oleh marilyn manson selepas sahur. power radio!) sekarang ni radio jiwang, termasuklah radio swasta which mean sucks. radio kerajaan lagi la, ... dah total crap. melalui radio jugak aku kenal tool. ironiknya, tool ni dalam review is art rock (or dark metal some media define it). something that art beyond king crimson and pink floyd (masa tu radiohead belum lagi jadi cult kes album kid a), agak sukar diterima pendengar, dan jadi airplay di radio sekarang, tetapi it was proven that year 1996-97, things are quite different that makes me love those years really much. bak kata bos aku yang juga peminat tool, kita tak boleh bagi seseorang yang sukar menerima sesuatu. kalau beri, mereka akan tendang.
masa tu bahan seperti album tool (pegi record store ulang benda tu je, .... siap aku nak mengeja kat cina kedai: "t.o.o.l!") atau dokumentasi tentang tool agak mustahil untuk dicari. mereka juga bukan band yang mukanya terlonggok dalam majalah atau menampilkan pose ganas dalam video clip. but the music and the art represent the band. masa tu tengok t-shirt diorang: logo tulisan tool overlay imej mata jesus christ. i was like: "man, this band really dark." yup, bukan religious tetapi dark. falsafah liriknya berpandukan idea2 comedian bill hicks, carl jung, anotomy, demonoid, banyak lagi... lagu "H." dari album penuh ke-2 mereka "Ænima" adalah lagu yang membuatkan aku berminat utk cari album tu , lebih2 lagi selepas mereka memenangi track metal terbaik Grammy..... (try cari album kat kedai tetapi gagal). lagu "H." tidak speed, grinding, atau akan membuatkan remaja melompat-lompat ala2 anthem nu metal tetapi ia benar2 berat pada pendengaran telinga. bunyi percussionnya berinspirasi pemain tabla Aloke Dutta (serius, aku dengar macam bunyi kompang versi dark, slow....).
3 tahun selepas kegagalan mencari Ænima, semasa aku kat perpustakaan universiti utk mencari bahan rujukan komputer grafik, aku stumble upon artikel tentang artwork sleeve CD Tool, dalam buku pasal komputer grafik (!) yang membawa aku tentang bahas artwork untuk CD Ænima dan Undertow (album full-length pertama Tool). masa tu aku rasa aku macam silap pilih kursus. aku ambik art, bukan music. tetapi sejak dari detik itu aku start belajar dan menghayati seni, tidak seperti rakan2 muzik aku yang lain, dan tidak juga seperti rakan2 seni grafik aku yang lain. to tell, Ænima ialah CD yang aku suka sebab muziknya dan seni cover/sleevenya. and i'm very pleased to share this:
Adam Jones, gitaris utk. band Tool ialah pengarah untuk visual Tool. jadi mereka ada total control over their band's visual presentation, sama ada cover art, music video atau live show. sebelum tool menandatangi kontrak pertama mereka, Adam ialah salah seorang staf di Stan Winston Studio di mana dia adalah makeup artist, sculptor, set designer, dan special effects designer utk filem2 hebat seperti A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Ghostbusters II, Darkman, Edward Scissorhands, Predator 2, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Batman Returns dan Jurassic Park. untuk album Ænima saja, aku tengok list utk bahagian art hampir sama dengan bahagian rakaman album. Adam telah menghasilkan konsep 'smokebox' untuk album Ænima sambil dibantu oleh rakan baiknya, Kevin Willis dan Cam De Leon utk bahagian ilustrasi. Ænima juga dikenali kerana artwork Cam De Leon untuk "Gnats" dan "Ocular Orifice" yang menjelaskan lagi konsep 'eerie' Tool. gabungan Adam, Cam dan Kevin diteruskan semasa DVD Tool, "Salival".

poskad dari Delta
dapat set poskad dari Boris semalam. Boris atau alter-egonya 'Delta' bukanlah nama asing bagi yang mengikuti seni graffiti. aku dah setkan dia sebaris dengan Futura lepas dia dikomisyenkan cK untuk contribute seninya pada botol fragrance cK, bersama dengan Futura. boleh dipanggil legenda sekarang, dia dah letakkan graffiti ke level yang baru. dengan stailnya yang original, korang boleh lihat pengaruh Delta ni dalam mana2 seni graffiti baru (check: booklet CD Linkin Park - Meteora).
aku ralat sangat sebab dia datang ke Terengganu tahun lepas, dan aku tak tahu pun! masa tu dia ada show di Esplanade, Singapore. so, dia relief dengan pergi ke Pulau Perhentian dan road trip 10 hari dari Kota Bharu ke Terengganu ke Pahang ke Johor sampai la balik ke Singapore. tak tahu bila dia nak datang balik ke sini.
check website Boris yang beroperasi dari Amsterdam.

Marilah Kita Bernikah
Current mood:scramble
“Jom kawin nak?” Whoa, probably perkataan yang straight-in-your-face yang baru pertama kali aku terima sejak 24 tahun ni. We never know our face, we just know our name. We just talk in about few minutes, belum masuk setengah jam. And she propose me, in a sudden, selepas bertanya aku ada girlfriend or not. Yes, I don’t have one. And I feel like, I never have one. Semua macam fantasi je…. the same like when she ask me , “Got someone in mind?”. Of course I have! Everytime! But not for the girl who I really mind. She’s not. I’m ignorance blissful for her. She never mind me at all. Dan kata aku: “I wish I have lots of money this time around so I could ‘pinang’ the girl in my mind, dengan pantas! But, no, I’m broke,…. so, what’s the use to kawin? It’ll never be good.” Of course, she’s teasing me. From what she said, she’s a local who now in UK, ambik medic, and soon, will work in medic. Korang mesti kata, “Hah! Dia dah ok, tak kisah la nak kawin ngan sesapa, annonymously…. tapi aku tak sure dia boleh kata, “Jom kawin?” kalau dia betul2 kenal siapa aku. No! I’m not in the middle of self-destructive pattern person. Bukan menjatuhkan harga diri. Banyak lagi yang perlu aku buat untuk achieve dream aku. Tapi secara kasarnya, untuk define aku buat masa ni, i say i am z e r o, nothing, nil, none, zilch. So, you’re Laura, and I’m Rob Gordon. You’re Japan and I am Godzilla.

the line begins to blur
[ music | Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth ]

...probably it will be hard to find in malaysia.
send me a copy if you can. the hardcopy. yes, i'm begging.
[p/s: this is before physical music died. so my impression is different by the time you're reading and the fact that i've watched the band live...]

everyday is holiday like monday or you.....play dead
[ mood | pleasedpleased ]
[ music | Tori Amos - "God" ]
berminat? nah! it's quite intriguing (and challenging) untuk kemaskan/rebuild balik gambar di atas, dengan resolusi teruk Friendster. at the same time, friendster come up with new blog. great, really great, when i want to talk nonsense, and monkeying around i'll go for friendster. Kamal ben Masrun like to monkeying over there on it's Bulletin Board. Is that mean i like Friendster really much? no! i go for traditional way.
It has been a nice weekend. my ftp finally running, and so Photoshop. the guy at Neo.net also told me that the scanner can be use like nothing really happen unto it's glass. Ok, you bet! We'll see, maybe we put Mesol from my sketchbook online. he never had any photo uploaded online. he just had this x-ray scanned of his body. so, i thought, "that's cool. you can put it. we can hang it on the wall. we're the most unconventional cybercafe to ever exist on planet earth!" before, the cybercafe really looks like a smokebox to us.
Stefan Jermann, a Zurich-based photographer just email me, to told me about his magazine "TRUCE", which in the magazine he give a focus on artscene and photograph worldwide. I'll post the stuff once I got a copy. I started to know Stefan since his brother working at T42 Design, the designer team who made a CD packaging for bands like Fear Factory, Machine Head, Slipknot, Slayer,.... most of the bands that I really like to listen long time ago.
It's a nice monday morning, really. vacation everyday, ... i'm going to make lots of illustration at home. I don't want it wear out.

This Is Random # 1 : Ini sunggoh indah, dahulu : Mar 27, 2005
Ini sunggoh indah, dahulu : linkus or damned in flames, originally posted on http://www.myspace.com/neonet/blog/19700470 Mar 27, 2005
record store di bilik sendiri, 3 isu Alternative Press, Guitar World, Rolling Stone, music dalam bentuk kaset, dan design oleh thredz, tech 13, ..... the rest. sunggoh indah. and we talk about this website: http://web.archive.org/ Website tentang archive sesuatu website dan melihat progresnya secara kronologi. cuba website blynk3n.cjb.net 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11, result-nya funny! tapi tiada file yang menarik. ini termasuk website littlekordine.cjb.net , kedua2 website dimulakan sekitar lewat 2000. inilah keindahannya, yang buat kami teringat tentang deviantart tahun 2001, thredz, tech13 dan icon mereka yang sukar dijumpai sekarang. ini termasuk design CD mereka bersama animated noise. ... now I play music randomply played in Launchcast from My Station, disusun mengikut apa yang diminati dan artis2 yang berkaitan melalui genre. here's some that I never know, and then I know: "Such Great Heights" - The Postal Service (recommended by Bjork fans) "Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt " - DJ Shadow (recommended by Massive Attack fans)
