Wild but cool. That's how the things going on for the rest of 2005. Living standard became the prior subject. Everything increase, oil increase, goodies increase, toll increase, even the price of food also increase. So what had decreased? Nothing. Luckily, DVD movie prices still maintain, DIY hardcore punk music stuff still maintaining it own prices, or at least computer hardware and software still in the same prices. That's why I’m not feeling all the things had dramatically change and at least I can still get something to save my daily boring soul. And one more things, being a good robot is always a necessity when you are living in this country and dare to say it's must down here. ”I always believe that once the prices of basic needed going up, you will always been push to cope out with that situation. And once you cope out with that, you will suddenly forget to complain.” There's no alert and awareness about act in alternative (like more bicycle, less motorcycle. Even I never see any bicycle sign on the street), but we are everyday being serve with a good brainwash in why everything increase. Democracy is simply funny. Authoritarian is serious business. Counting few more days before we enter 2006, things just look like the same. And realize it or not, the only way to find a good life is living with our own believes. Go whatever we want to go. At least if we are not full mode, electronic made robot, we are still half human and half chipset.
And I just realize how chipset is just an agent to adapt with the real world. Once you had been short-circuit, you cannot reach anyone and lying at your own room listening to funeral doom records and end up don’t want to face the upcoming life anymore. For me, creating a counterculture didn’t promise anything. It's all in your hand to make your own way of decision. Everybody can be inside the circle of things, everybody can put a label and ism inside themselves, everybody can live the life upon inspiration of the book and things they read but somehow acting the way you are is the best things you can get. This is not against any pretentious out there or to bash poser but logically, this is how it works when we want true freedom. That's what my mind speaks. Getting the job you really like to do is true freedom for me, speaking with the logical and conscious based on reality is also a true freedom, and escaping a sort of morality create by the system is also a form of seeking for freedom. And honestly, act is always about realizing wrong things that we had done and empower and motivate with a good thing that we had already done. Nobody can’t escape that!
Last things that I read before writing this article is a front page newspaper article with a topic “Being a true punk or poser punk”. Warning: It’s on a front page! Wonder whether this article been written by the one who have high level education in university or by the one who don’t coz it just look like he / she know nothing. And how shame I can feel to be one of their teacher, teaching them during their old days in university. There is even no in depth study and clueless about the things they wrote.And how I realize punk scene had slowly being a subject for the system to sell apart of black metal, gay, ghost story, or drug abuse. Sell story! They get money and at the same time, they will create fear and abolish freedom of act. If this article been written with ethical and inside a free country, there should be thousand of condemn for the next days by other writer. A good condemn of how childish and don’t make sense the article been written and perhaps the newspaper company will be sue for spreading false information to the people. But we are in this systematic country of nothing can’t be done and nothing can’t be express. And few next months, I assume that few gigs will be bash by the cops in order to create a set of morality toward the youth. Funny! And by the time I finish reading the article, it leave just one set of another subject inside my mind. Those local newspapers still need a serious “agenda adjustment”. Punk just like pop is “just a dogma with reason” of existence, except that, punk move with rebellious outlook fill up, and dangerous dogma of their anti system subject (but they don’t ever give a fuck about this) and more importantly the loud music. But talking about hard and loud music, there’s no guideline of what’s bad and what’s good in choosing music tunes, different people make different choice. And it didn’t prove that ballad or jazz serve any better moral standard to the listener compare to grind core sound. It’s a free form of art if things been taken rationally. In 2003, I remember that my package had been detained by the local immigration for the reason that all the things inside my package contain explicit material. The stuff worth around RM 600 and it is quite a lot of money for me. I call the custom at KLIA office and they gave a reason that the CD’s sound very loud and claimed it to be black metal. And it had been abolished and cost the same level with detains a porno video. And one day, we will live in the country where everything can’t be done. Sad but true. Save some money and get the hell out of here!In last issue of my friends and the pit, I wrote an article of how message board had killed the real communication inside the hardcore punk connection and upon writing for this issue; it really happens last few months. And sometimes I think that what scholastic deth said in the songs “kill the message board” is true. And perhaps one of the DESTROY (early 90’s American bands) songs about uplifting the struggle with the support of digital machine was all been spoiled. Real communication begins with honest subject and not hiding behind the computer monitor. And ironically, the discussion had stopped after the gig had ended (and where are those voice if they seek for serious discussion). I guess the room just became a place of satisfying someone personal desire not for the interest of all. Good comments bring a good solution, but dishonest comment just makes things stuck up! If you want to fight a war, fight in a real way and I guess our fight belong to us and the conclusion is not for the interest and benefit of ourselves but for all, inside the hardcore punk scene. But when people use anonymous nickname, it’s just like I’m feeling weird talking to the ghost. The gig was somehow brought thousand of controversy from bands selection, ticket pricing, venue etc but things will getting better if we discuss things for real not hiding. Blaming is easy but act is not so easy. But that’s it. The webmaster can’t control who log in the message board system, who’s in and who’s out. It’s not the subject. The only thing is look upon yourself and asks yourself how honest your word can be. Bang!
The life still flow right now and what I got to do is flow the life and searching for betterment of it. And music, movie, local gig, food, and books does me a good favor. Here is what move me up for the past few months. DESTROY DISCOGRAPHY CD - Destroy is my favorite band of this month. Maybe I’m kinda late to know about this band but it worth seeking. This is previous Felix Havoc bands before he form Code 13 just after destroy split up. Destroy is a great work of music if you want to talk about punk hardcore sound in the early 90’s because the music taking inspiration to be a superb crossover sound at that times. From good crust punk tunes in necropolis LP to the superb metal inspired burn racist system 7” this is just simply essential. Also Dan of profane existence records do played bass for destroy. And dare I said this bands fill up wit the people who struggle for punk in real motive. Get the CD from havoc records. Havoc records, P.O.Box 8585, Minneapolis, MN 55408 USA. Or visit their site at http://www.havocrex.com/ SEEING LOCAL BANDS -And I always enjoy seeing local bands act but too much same old band in the same gig doesn’t do me a favor. I hope there will be more new bands in upcoming gig and there will be a counter to reject any domination of the same old bands playing in a gig. Dare I say, my band selfmadegod also always play over in over, have the sense of domination. And I think it’s enough and feel sorry for that. There should be more room to new bands in order to deliver their music. More power! So how about doing a gig title “How about no market bands?” OFF THE MAP BOOK -One word when I read this book that came out to my mind is “INSPIRATION”. Because this is how the things work when imagine songs of john Lennon adapt to reality. That’s why I think this book leave thousand of “heat the fire” feeling although it had been read quite sometimes. And the story is just simply a diary of two girls that hitchhike throughout Europe in more punk rock way. Live in squat, learning and adapt lotsa cultures, and being fun all the time. This is simply good punk rock book if you want to read about punk rock story. Contact: CrimethInc. Headquarters, 2695 Rangewood Dr. Atlanta GA 30345, USA. Website: http://www.crimethinc.com/ JANJI JONI MOVIE – I admire this because it is from Indonesia not any other part of the world and its blazing to see Indonesian movie with lots of sense. I try previous love based Indonesia movie but all of them not so good but this one do me a favor. As the feeling goes the same on watching how good taring padi documentary about punk movement in Jog Jakarta in a punk rock way , this can be as good as that but falling more to the genre of open public movie, and I just feel enjoy. Because the movie flow with more reality plot and somehow the sense of criticizing inside it was high. I adore. I shit my pants and have to go. Till the next issue!
