YGF 2012 (17th Yogyakarta gamelan Festival)

YGF 2012

This event will start tomorrow, July 5th till 7th (7.30 pm - 11.00 pm), at Koesnadi Hardjosoemantri cultural center building (ex Purna Budaya UGM). There will be twelve local and international groups of gamelan musicians who will perform their musical skills and promote gamelan as a powerful unifier of people around the world.

The musicians from US, Malaysia, East Java’s Madura, West Java’s Bandung and Yogyakarta will participate and perform their gamelan musical skills in this event under the theme "Why". 'Why gamelan?' This is a simple question (as the theme), but it takes serious thought to answer. This event's expected to open our mind why gamelan becomes an important part to unite the nations, why many people around the world (35 countries) play and develop the gamelan, why..why..and finally why don't you come and get the spirit of gamelan??It's FREE guys!!

"The Art of Getting By" Movie (Soundtrack List)

Film indie ini cukup menarik, bercerita tentang seorang siswa yang introvert, malas mengerjakan tugas, sehingga sering mendapatkan teguran dari guru maupun kepala sekolahnya (Ouch, that was so me teens). Diperankan oleh Freddie Highmore (the august rush) dan Emma Roberts. Pada awalnya, film ini ditayangkan dengan judul Homework pada Sundance Film Festival 2011 (FYI,Sundance film festival merupakan suatu festival film bergengsi di AS).

Anyway, besides the story that shows the life of a misanthrope-cute-slacker, I also really enjoy the music. We can say that too much indie here. The soundtrack list below are so d*mn cool.

Berikut daftar lagu dari album soundtrack film The Art of Getting By :

1. We Will Become Silhouettes - The Shins
2. We Drink on the Job - Earlimart
3. Sally’s Theme - Alex Puro
4. Sleep the Clock Around - Mates of State
5. This Momentary - Delphic
6. Christmas Break - Alec Puro
7. Winter Lady - Leonard Cohen
8. The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
9. Sally’s Bedroom - Alec Puro
10. Spitting Fire - The Boxer Rebellion
11. Here - Pavement
12. The Trial of the Century - French Kicks

Dengan didukung musik yang bagus, ni film menjadi tidak hanya sekedar film anak remaja sekolahan pada umumnya yang biasa saja (even the tweens can enjoy this movie,lol). Dari 12 lagu di atas, yang paling aku suka tentu karyanya Alec Puro, but the others, such as French Kicks and Pavement, are still cool anyway. Selamat menonton, selamat menikmati musiknya.

:::Here below are some quotes taken from the movie:::

“I’m kind of a misanthrope. Not out of choice, just a fact.”
— Freddie Highmore as George (The Art of Getting By)

“There are so many other important things to think about that homework really seems like an afterthought.”
— Freddie Highmore as George (The Art of Getting By)

The conversation below is between George and his teacher when she asks George to submit his homework.

- Teacher: Do you have your work George?
>>>George: No.
- Teacher: Why not?
>>>George: I was... depressed.
- Teacher: Oh, yes? Why was that?
>>>George: Because, uh... I realized I'm gonna die one day.
- Teacher: We're all gonna die one day, George. I don't think that's a reasonable excuse for not completing your trigonometry exercise.
>>>George: I... I was trying to. I just couldn't shake this awareness of my mortality. Everything seemed meaningless...including the assignment, unfortunately.

Either Way lyric by Generationals

Generationals? does it still sound weird for ur ears? you may check this before.

This is one of their songs,,

___Either Way___

I’m just a man you got me running head long into the neon lights
Na na na, not if they don’t wake up
I don’t want to keep it myself but I don’t want to let you out of my sight
Now if they may come listen if they had enough
I can’t set my mind on anything
And I’m telling everyone around
Now, I know, I don’t know how
But this one is an original

Ah ah ah
If it makes you happy
Ah ah ah
Even if it kills me
Ah ah ah
And be the person that could tell me
Ah ah ah
Either way you’re with me

I try to listen to my head and
Come back with nothing but badda da da boom boom
I wasn’t lying when I said I was afraid that you could tell that I’ve been running on fumes
And now I’m gunna have to see you again
And I know I’m gunna have to do it soon
Now, I know, I don’t know how
But this one is an original

And now my stomachs tied with so many words
And now my head is spinning every way
And it’s the sound of my own racing heart that keeps me up at night
And when I walk around
I hear them saying that my feet are not on the ground
And, I know, I don’t know how
But this one is an original

Ah ah ah
If it makes you happy
Ah ah ah
Even if it kills me
Ah ah ah
And be the person that could tell me
Ah ah ah
Either way you’re with me

Beberapa track yg aq suka :

- when they fight, they fight (OST 'diary of a wimpy kid')
- Trust
- Either way ***** (rate bintang 5,haha)
