Linus’ Blanket – Show Me Love

Satu lagi lagu rekomendasi saya buat para nerds, whuahahaha, kali ini dari Linus’ Blanket, band indie pop, jazz, swing, dari Korea, walaupun indie tapi salah satu lagunya yang berjudul “picnic” pernah dijadiin backsound di reality show “Running Man” yang episode spesial yang ada SNSD-nya #kyakya, dan tentu saja karena sang vokalis sekaligus keyboardis Yeon Gane yang kece, hehe #afevo rules!!

I know I need to be pretty
witty not willy nilly silly

I notice that I have no time
to sip a glass of brandy

Oh, is there someone
to love me as I am
I’m sick of myself

Will you be here for me
Tell me before I die
I’m so sick of this lack of love
Take me, love show me love

Oh, is there someone
to love me as
I’m sick of myself

will you be here for me
Tell me before I die
I’m so sick of this lack of love
Take me, love show me love

Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love

When I Go by Slow Club, what a nice song

Jadi ditengah-tengah koding di siang hari yang panas sambil mendengarkan sebuah album mixtape dari seorang teman berjudul “More Than Just Love Song”, ada satu lagu folk-akustik-ballads dengan duo vokal cwo-cwe yang lirik-nya berhasil mengalihkan perhatian saya dari kode-kode brengsek itu dan membuat saya tersenyum, haha sok ganteng lu. Adalah “When I Go” oleh Slow Club, liriknya mirip gombal-gombalan pelawak “kalau eneng blablabla…”, misalnya “Kalau aku telah berumur 30 tahun dan belum punya istri, aku akan memintamu dan tidak akan meminta sampai dua kali” eaaaa….

If we’re both not married by twenty-two
Could I be so bold and ask you?
If we’re both not married by twenty-three
Will you make my year and ask me?

If we’re both not married by twenty-four
Will you pass me those kneepads and I’ll get on the floor?
If we’re both not married by twenty-five
I hope that there’s some childish spark still alive

Cause there are so many lessons
That I just never cared to learn
And there are so many questions that still burn
Like will you hold my hand when I go?
Will you hold my hand when I go?
Will you hold my hand when I go?
Will you hold my hand when I go?

If I get to thirty and I don’t have a wife
I’ll ask you nicely but I won’t ask twice
If I get to forty and I don’t have a spouse
I’ll fashion you a letter and I’ll send it to your house

If I get to sixty will you let me slip away
Into an armchair for the rest of my days?
Cause you’ve got your family and I’ve got mine
The love that we shared was for another time

Cause there are so many lessons
That I just never cared to learn
And there are so many questions that still burn
Like will you hold my hand when I go?
Will you hold my hand when I go?
Will you hold my hand when I go?
Will you hold my hand when I go?

The Experience Brothers – Jalan Darat Tour 2012: Semacam Pengalihan Isu

Karena gagal menghadiri konser #AKB48xJKT48, sebagai pengalihan isu, kemarin saya menghadiri gigs #segan Jalan Darat Tour 2012 dengan line up band-band #segan dari ibu kota yang dikumendani oleh Jimi Multhazam, ada Morfem, Jude, The Experience Brothers, dan juga diisi oleh band-band lokal dari kota-kota yang disinggahi. Dari Semarang ada UK Lunch, Octopuz, Terror incognita!, OK Karaoke, dan Lipstic Lipsync.

Yang paling segan dari yang tersegan malam itu adalah The Experience Brothers, band kakak-beradik yang hanya berisi gitar dan drum tetapi mampu menyuguhkan musik rock n roll yang megah.

Bram - The Experience Brothers

Siapa sih The Experience Brothers ? saya sendiri baru mendengarkan band ini 2 minggu sebelum Jalan Darat Tour di semarang ini, hehe

The Experience Brothers adalah duo bersaudara Bram Saladdin dan Daud Sarassin. Walau hanya di suguhi Gitar Vokal dan Drums, tapi kita berasa mendengarkan band utuh bernuansa psychedelia/blues/rock n roll abad modern! Bersiaplah selain mendengarkan Vokal indah Bram. Kita akan merasakan Bass, bahkan Hammond keyboards di Gitarnya. Dan kepiawaian Daud dalam menyiksa drum, sudah tidak di ragukan lagi. Mereka telah merilis dua album

The Experience Brothers cukup membuat basah malam itu, hanya dengan gitar dan drum mampu menyuguhkan nuansa rock n roll yang gahar, dan tentu saja band ini patut diapresiasi, hehe:

Goodbye toe.

Invasi band-band post-rock tak kunjung henti-henti juga, setelah tahun lalu MONO, dan di penghujung tahun ada Mogwai, besok maret toe akan konser juga ke jakarta, promotornya sama kayak #MONOjkt. But unfortunately kali ini sepertinya saya gak bisa menghadirinya, huhu. Segala sesuatu ada skala prioritas-nya, dan kali ini #toeJKT bukan menjadi prioritas utama saya. Selamat tinggal toe, mungkin suatu saat di lain kesempatan saya bisa nonton.

toe, band instrumental post-rock, math, psychedelic dari jepang. Pertama kali nonton dvd-nya gusi saya sampe berdarah

 

There is no one can understand me truly
I do not go out and I will keep silence
Everyone is mania in general
You don’t have time to sleep
For to know others

It’s more complex than how I used to thought
But already I know
The start is living life to the end
Everyone is mania in general
You don’t have time to sleep
For to know others

 

toe – goodbye

Paris match (パリス・マッチ) is a Japanese pop-jazz band, consisting of Mari Mizuno (vocals) and Yosuke Sugiyama (music). Their name is based on a track from an Album by The Style Council, Café Bleu.

Both had already experiences in the music business – Furusawa as a DJ and composer and he organized club events; Sugiyama was an experienced producer, arranger and remixer. They met singer Mari Mizuno when she and Sugiyama worked for a radio station in Nagoya at the same time. They released their first full album, volume one, in 2000.

The music they make can be best described as a mix of pop, r&b, jazz and bossa nova.
