artis baru bakal terkenal melalui youtube

sedar tak sedar, arus masa sungguh cepat berlalu.. kejayaan siti nurhaliza yang dahulunya terkenal melalui 'bintang rtm' dikatakan mustahil untuk dicapai oleh orang lain.. tapi kini, penyataan itu sudah tak boleh diterima pakai.. teknologi memudahkan insan seni lebih menyerlahkan diri melalui internet dan mampu mengaut keuntungan berganda.. dah ramai individu yang berjaya menempa nama melalui internet.. ada yang terkenal kerana memiliki paras rupa, watak yang kelakar, gaya yang mampu menarik perhatian, video blog menarik, suara merdu dan lain-lain..

kalau nak bincang berkaitan semua bidang kemahiran manusia ni memang tak larat la aku nak taip panjang-panjang.. jadi aku nak fokus kepada nyanyian ja.. diantara artis nyanyian (terkenal melalui youtube / myspace) ialah marie digby.. marie digby adalah seorang wanita cantik yang berkebolehan mencipta lagu, bermain pelbagai instrumen dan juga menyanyi.. boleh dikatakan hampir satu dunia mengenali marie digby kalau nak dibandingkan dengan siti nurhaliza.. ahaha..

selain itu antara nama yang besar yang muncul melalui youtube ialah andy mckee.. kalau anda semua nak tahu, aku telah menjadikan andy mckee sebagai idola aku dalam bermain guitar.. andy mckee memang super cool.. kerana kemunculan andy mckee, prisa si gadis dari indonesia juga telah menempa nama melalui youtube (kemahiran prisa ialah bermain guitar dan prisa juga ada membuat cover untuk lagu andy mckee).. aku pernah menulis entry berkaitan kedua-dua individu ini..

ok, kita abaikan artis luar negara.. bagaimana dengan malaysia? ada ka artis malaysia yang lahir melalui internet ni? ahaha.. mesti la ada! orang malaysia pun tak kurang hebatnya.. siapa tak kenal dengan yuna dan zee avi? dua orang wanita inilah diantara rakyat malaysia yang berjaya menempa nama melalui myspace dan youtube.. begitu juga dengan band hujan, estrella dan lain-lain.. artis malaysia aku tak penah review lagi setakat ini.. kah kah kah..

bukan taknak membantu orang kita sendiri.. tapi aku takut kena saman.. yuna tu dahla pelajar jurusan undang-undang.. konfem senang-senang dia nak saman aku kalau aku letak video dia nanti.. kah kah kah.. tapi harini aku sedikit baik hati untuk share video orang melayu kita yang aku rasa berpotensi menempa nama dalam industri musik tanah air.. video dia masih 'baru dan fresh'.. view pun tak sampai 100 lagi.. sila~ sila~ jangan malu-malu untuk tengok video bakal artis baru malaysia.. :)

fenomena zee avi dan kantoi

siapa yang tak kenal artis malaysia yang berasal dari miri sarawak dan berjaya mencipta nama melalui internet ini.. "zee avi" nama yang kini sudah tidak asing lagi sebagai anak seni yang mampu mencipta lagu dan menyanyikan lagu dengan merdu.. namun ada juga pihak yang mengatakan bahawa zee avi ni seorang yang sombong dan tak mampu mempersembahkan persembahan live dengan baik.. aku tak kenal dan tak pernah jumpa zee avi.. jadi lebih baik korang baca entry berkaitan dari orang yang mengenali zee avi sendiri..

semua perkara tu tak penting bagi aku.. sila abaikan dulu buat sementara waktu.. sekarang ni aku nak ceritakan mengenai lagu ciptaan zee avi yang sangat popular bertajuk 'kantoi'.. walaupun bahasa yang digunakan ialah bahasa melayu rojak namun aku suka lagu ni sebab tone dia rilek, lirik dia slamber dan penyampaian dia sangat jelas.. jadi aku nak share sedikit info yang mungkin ramai tidak tahu mengenai lagu bertajuk kantoi ini..

adakah anda tahu, lagu ini turut dinyanyikan oleh bangsa lain dari negara lain (bukan malaysia) termasuklah warga uk, us, india dan lain-lain.. sila buat carian di youtube dengan keyword 'kantoi cover', pasti anda akan terjumpa video nyanyian 'kantoi' dari seluruh pelusuk dunia.. ahahaha.. orang luar berusaha menyanyikan lagu dalam bahasa melayu beb!! aku bangga jadi rakyat malaysia.. auww!

selain itu, adakah anda tahu, ramai juga yang berusaha untuk membuat reply lagu untuk lagu asal kantoi dari zee avi ini.. salah satunya adalah nyanyian afdlin shauqi sendiri.. sangat lawak dan sangat 'pedas' reply yang dibuat.. ada juga yang menghasilkan reply tak masuk akal dan ada juga reply mencarut-carut kononnya marah kepada tommy (nama karektor dalam lagu kantoi).. ahahaha.. apa-apa pun, enjoy fenomena ini.. zee avi rawks!!

anda geek? anda programmer? anda suka java?

kali ini aku nak bercerita mengenai java pula.. apa itu java? java adalah bahasa pengaturcaraan komputer yang digunakan meluas dalam dunia.. tak kiralah aplikasi phone atau komputer, kebanyakan aplikasi yang ada diprogram-kan menggunakan java.. tapi sebelum itu, aku nak tegaskan bahawa java dan javascript bukanlah benda yang sama.. sekiranya anda mahir javascript, belum tentu anda mampu menguasai java.. aku menulis secara santai untuk bacaan semua termasuklah individu bukan 'mat komputer'..

sepanjang hidup aku, aku telah mengenali beberapa jenis language komputer untuk menulis program diantaranya ialah C, perl, python, dan lain-lain.. aku lebih selesa menggunakan language seperti C untuk menghasilkan executable file dan PHP untuk menghasilkan dynamic website.. tapi, bagi kawan aku lain pula.. dia lebih menyukai C# dan ASP.. pendapat orang IT ni pun tak sama sebenarnya..

aku tak suka menggunakan scripting language seperti ASP dan C# (atau apa-apa berkaitan dengan .NET framework) kerana ianya dibangunkan oleh microsoft.. kenapa? kerana kita perlu mengeluarkan wang untuk mendapatkannya.. wtf? benda free ada, kenapa nak pakai yang kena keluar duit? itulah puncanya kenapa sesetengah programmer ni hidup berpuak-puak..

tapi kini, java telah membangun dengan pesat mendahului language komputer yang ada dimuka bumi ini.. software handphone kebanyakannya menggunakan java.. nak bangunkan dynamic website pun boleh pakai java-server-page.. sistem tu pakai java, sistem ni pakai java.. pendek kata, hidup anda dikelilingi java lah! hahaha.. masa depan nanti mungkin semua programmer akan hidup bersatu padu menggunakan java.. jadi aku terpaksa belajar java untuk mengikuti peredaran zaman..

jujur aku katakan, sebenarnya aku benci gilababi dengan java.. sebab java ni sesuka hati buat term diorang sendiri (konsep teori ja.. yang lain-lain lebih kurang sama).. jadi proses untuk aku belajar java agak kucar kacir apabila term java ni tak boleh diterima oleh akal aku yang berasaskan teori language lain.. jadi bila kebosanan membuat program menggunakan java, mulalah nak buat kerja bodoh..

aku berjalan-jalan di youtube, dan membuat carian menggunakan keyword "awek java".. oh kelihatan banyak video berkaitan awek indonesia dan takda video yang menarik pun.. kemudian aku buat carian lagi menggunakan keyword "lady java" pulak.. ahahahahha.. akhirnya terjumpa juga video yang boleh mengurangkan stress dan mampu menambah minat aku terhadap java.. auwww

p/s : bagaimana dengan anda? language apa yang best? java juga? sila jangan bagi jawapan bodoh seperti "saya suka japanese language".. kah kah kah.. terajang satgi baru tau! kah kah kah

Severn Gurls

I thought, given that Katy Perry is signalling the death of postwar western civilisation through her evil song _California Gurls_, that I would try to persuade myself and anyone who wishes to read that life goes on. Building, making things, creating families goes on. Even after Katy Perry and her festival of zero.

Well, to be honest, it's not easy.

Because sun-kissed skin so hot it'll melt your popsicle, even though or perhaps even because it's so self-contradictory, so utterly meaningless given its stated objective, its clear innuendo-meaning - because that is so shit, language seems to have been finally shat out after a 50 year curry and 50 years of crap, factory made lager; because, ultimately, even pop music has conflicted itself in its own greatest exponents, and they, as they speak, have called for erectile dysfunction in the midst of "undeniable" hot sex teenage girls -

because of all that, meaning has now finally been flushed down the karzee.



Meaning has finally, thankfully, been disowned. We no longer need a word or a phrase to correspond to an idea.

Think about it, you twats, think about it: a pop song asks to you want to fuck teenage girls. Then it tells you they're so hot your popsicle will *melt*. You will just go soft, just sort of being there.

I really don't think that it means you will come in your pants.

Really. I don't.

It means the literal opposite of what it intends to mean.

Language is dead. Words have no purpose.



Katy Perry killed language.

Dante is too dead to save it; Chaucer too ironic; Shakspear too involved in non-existent persons;Pope too into the sounds of words; Austen in ghastly inter-human relations;Dickens in the...the...play of words, pictures and sentences. After Dickens everyone is toying with their own history. Plath is killed doing it, Hughes after having sex with words; Larkin hates words too much; Roth just has too many of them. Orwell thinks words mean something, for fuck's sake; Hardy thinks they are about how there is no God (probably) and Amis (jun) veers from the play of words to the play of his memories.


Shit.


Language was killed by Katy Perry. She sliced it open with an auto-tune.

Open and its guts spilled into the air, to be eaten by the Eagles and vultures and Beatles and flies and Airplanes and to be left alone, token gut by chitterling, to fly away.



Fly away.

California Gurls(Daisy Dukes, Bikinis On Top)

Hi.

Yes, life is sweet and dandy, &c, &c.

But I've just downloaded, not entirely by accident, a piece of silence. You see, I thought I heard a clever, postmodern (tsk) satire on sexual politics this afternoon. I was driving up towards the Air Balloon, on my way back to the Cotswolds from the netherlands of South Glos, so I was kind of trying to drive at 80mph between a caravan and a lorry hurtling downhill. I had this idea that "Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top" was some kind of dazzling wordplay, some new style of subversion based on crap early 80s children's TV.

Accordingly, I downloaded the track.

But really, it isn't - not at all. It is 3.56 of utter, utter silence. Sure, there are ritual incantations about sun, palm trees, jeeps, sex on the beach (aha! ambiguity) and a bit by Snoop Dogg. But apart from that, it says absolutely nothing in 3.56. Not a damn thing. There isn't even any real music, just the "savage, barking rhythm" of the Two Minutes Hate.

Can you imagine how O'Brien would have reacted seeing Katy Perry on his massive telescreen?

Regardless of that, the fact is that the modern type chart music can sometimes conceal serious intent beneath the froth of a Belgian beer - namely, Bulletproof by the girl whose mum was out of The Bill and also Calvin Harris' I'm Not Alone. To name but two. They sort of take the vocabulary of drugsex music (hey, neat) and manage to coil a meaning around it - sometimes, like Bulletproof, a non-verbal meaning.

But this - this is shite.

I say that, but my guts actually produce more substance than this track does.

Luckily, I've also downloaded Jump by Van Halen.

Bullshit Proof

Here's what I will never be trapped by again:

1) The "soulmate" crap. That's about control, guilt and the pretence of tender-heartedness. If someone says it to you, ignore it. Falling for it is irredeemably beta.

2) The relationship shit-tests like "were you looking at her?" to which all possible answers are wrong. The best thing to do is to respond in kind, ie: "Well, of course: she's as hot as fuck".

3) The absence of communication. If she doesn't text you, that's her fucking problem. *Never* get trapped into sending loads of texts to a silent woman. She will loathe you for your spinelessness.

4) Sexual intimacy. There ain't no such thing. You are just number n. So, to some extent is she. We don't communicate souls in sex, however much hand-wringing Christian clergyman think we do. We just fuck like animals. At last we're learning how to do it properly. Remember that kissing is absolutely nothing at all.

5) Rows are good. If she gets cross with you, get cross back. Never, ever appease a woman's anger. Women hate craven, cringing men.

6) Never believe what a woman says about the type of man she finds sexy. All that stuff about kindness, intelligence, etc is all crap. Women are as sexually predictable as we are, and we find big tits and slim hips sexy, and they find big, dominating men sexy. Believe me, your reading of Heidegger will be utterly irrelevant to whether she likes your cock, and she will, whatever she says, not be turned on by your claim to be a poet.


Well, that's it. As you can guess, some of this is inspired by reading less savoury stuff about "game", but my experiences over the last two years (of steadily being battered into the ground like the beta I am) suggest that there is a lot of truth in it.

Women are not hard-wired to be caring, or loving, or care-givers or whatever. They, like men, are animals, and their desires and preferences are far more animalistic than we often think.


The title of this post is inspired by the extremely cool track Bulletproof by La Roux, which is 80s synth pop for 2009, with a video whose visual imagery is what many 80s groups would have made, had the technology allowed it. It shows that this kind of music really does have meaning: archetypal grid patterns, geometric solids, splintered images, too much lighting, asexual or androgynous characters (she's a mixture of Toyah, Hazel O Connor and Flock of Seagulls). I wonder if the grid patterns, reminiscent of laboratories and prisons, are trying to say something in particular...

And not a single whoremark arse tattoo in sight. No lingering cunt-shot either.


Even crap 80s synth pop had more to say about real life and real personalities than Lily Allen, whose failure to reach an orgasm is not really inspiring me. Nor am I rendered speechless by Black Eyed Peas' prediction of a great night's clubbing and sex. I'm also unprepossessed by Lady Gaga's somewhat tired attempt at edginess. Equally, Evacuating the Dance Floor could have had intriguing cold-war psychological subtones - but it doesn't. It's just shit.

Yeah, ok. I'm spending 2 hours a day in the gym right now. So I know my music. Thanks to TMF.
