punk and neo-soul

i like music that could affect one's emotion. music that could cool you down when your heart is pounding, or the music that could help you focus on a boring home work when you're on an adrenalin rush. well, these two musicians are on my top list this month. however, most of those music has one similarity (despite the different gendres). They all have crazyly, hard to imitate chords. The ones with unpredicatble escalations and everything. Both of these two artists have that.


Pink Spiders
is an American indie alternative rock band.The band consists of Matt Friction the lead guitarist and vocalist, Jon Decious on bass guitar, and Bob Ferrari on drums. I love their choice of melody and chords. their music is the head-banging, all crazy, late night-crack-party song (not that i do any of those - never been to one and never wanted to join the "fun"). Tracks to listen to: Modern Swinger and Trust No One. I am planning to buy their album on itunes. until then, these tracks are my fave.

Justin Nozuka
Yeah, you probably have heard of him. The japanese-american born, canadian raised 20 year old singer. His songs are all wonderfully written, melody wise the tunes are lovable and every sigle time i hear "After Tonight" i just felt snugglishly warm. "Golden Train" and "Sorry" are another one of my faves. While his song "save" is one of the most heart breaking song i've ever heard. His voice is amazing and very soulful. Go and watch his live performances on youtube and you'll be surprised of how much talent this young man has.

Awal tahun kemarin aku jatuh hati dengan seseorang dan hari ini aku mempertanyakan apakah lebih baik berteman aja dengan pria ini. Lucu ya, betapa cepatnya hati ini bisa berubah. Di satu sisi aku lega logika ku sudah kembali mencuat, naik ke permukaan laut endorfin yang perlahan surut. Realitasnya, pasang yang surut menunjukkan kotornya pantai hatiku. Banyak sisa-sisa sampah dari masa lalu; ngerasa nggak layak dapet perhatian, takut ditinggal, takut ditolak, takut disakiti. Hal-hal yang ku kira sudah ku buang jauh-jauh. Ternyata membuang ide dari pikiran dengan menghancurkan ide itu berbeda. Selama 2 minggu aku bersihin sampah-sampah ini. Aku ganti ketakutan ku dengan kata-kata Tuhan yang menyatakan aku berharga di matanya, mulia bahkan (yesaya 43:4). Aku terima kata-kataNya yang bilang "Aku mengasihi engkau dengan kasih yang kekal" kalau di bahasa inggrisnya "I have loved you with an everlasting love". Sudah terjadi, sudah ku alami, dan akan selalu Ia tunjukkan pad

As a part of my procrastination today, I will talk about perfumes that I like: 1. White Tea and Ginger by Bath and Body Works: When I'm wearing this I feel independent, stable, and focused. I used this in high school, re-purchase this when a BBW classic scents sale came up last year. This is definitely a comfortable scent for me. It smells fresh, and clean (more in the leafy range). Tones in this body spray:  Yuzu, Lemon, Green Tea, Bergamot, Geranium, Nutmeg, Rose, Earl Grey Tea, Musk, Woods, Berries.  You can definitely smell the lemon and green tea in here. Not much of musk, woods or berries - imo. 2. Brit Sheer by Burberry: When I'm wearing this, I feel feminine, soft and quiet. I bought the roll on version of this, because I wasn't sure if I would like it, or have the time to finish the whole bottle before getting bored. It is light and floral. Fresh on first spray (or roll, in my case) with hints of sweet fruits like pear, and lychee. For some reason, I al
