Anthem Untuk Jakarta

"ke Jakarta, ku akan kembaliii......"
demikian lirik sebuah lagu yang populer oleh sebuah grup band yang juga populer pada tahun '60-an (kalau penulis tidak salah ingat)

tetapi sekitar 20 tahun kemudian,
"siapa suruh datang Jakarta, siapa suruh datang Jakarta..."
adalah penggalan lirik lagu yang populer setelah banyak cerita sedih seputar nasib para perantau yang mengadu nasib datang ke Jakarta.

sekarang, tahun 2000-an, apa lagi?

rasanya, di tahun 200-an ini, Jakarta membutuhkan anthem (lagu kebangsaan) baru. lagu yang dapat menggambarkan kondisi ibukota negara kita ini. mungkin single "Membakar Jakarta" dari grup band Seringai? sayangnya hal ini tidak mungkin terjadi karena - jujur saja - ada berapa banyak dari Anda para pembaca budiman, yang pernah mendengar (dan menghapal lirik) lagu tersebut???

rasanya Anda para pembaca - terutama yang berdomisili di Jakarta - perlu mencari, menetapkan, dan mempopulerkan sebuah anthem baru untuk kota Jakarta.

[sebelum itu semua, mungkin anthem untuk Jakarta adalah lagu "Ondel-Ondel" atau "Jali-Jali"???]

BACA, TERTAWAKAN, tetapi TETAP SEBARLUASKAN!
untuk Indonesia (dan Jakarta) yang lebih baik!

Flashback To A Week Of Live Music Performance

Yupes. Last week I saw a lot of live performance from various artists, bands, etc., that you might see regularly on TV or hear on the radio (but some are not -- more on that later).

So right now no wonder I felt kind of tired and actually the weekend didn't really mean time to rest like the rest of you folks might usually do.

On Wednesday, a friend of mine gave me the opportunity to shot some photos on MTV Indonesia Awards 2009 (a music award program for local artists) and boy! did I have fun there. Actually I'm kind of embarassed to admit this but this one actress is what drove me to the scene.



Arumi looks gorgeous in her gown -- in the red carpet which I didn't provide here -- and in this girly softball outfit she looked really cute. Omigosh now I sound like a pervert.

The other artists I want to see is the famed (now non-exist) peterpan. This was the first time I see them live on stage. Right now I'm eagerly waiting for their first album in their new formation and using their new name. 2010 that is.

And of course, one did not forget to mention Superman Is Dead. They rule the stage!



Well, on Saturday, I went to JCC Senayan to the Final Round of Djarum Black Autoblackthrough 2009, again to take pictures of some female artist that was scheduled to perform there. To my surprise, they listed Bunga Citra Lestari and Agnes Monica for that day and kept Aura Kasih for Sunday. Hell yeah! That'd be the second time in a week that I watch Agnes Monica perform live. And the second time to see her perform live too.

But there's some problem with the lighting setup on the stage so I only post here a picture of BCL.



Thus, seeing BCL and Agnes Monica on Saturday, my mind is set to CHARITINDIE on Score! Citos on Sunday. Of course there are two reasons I went there and forgetting Aura Kasih on Autoblackthrough: Superglad and Seringai!

I had fun -- real fun -- on this one week. Watched Superglad, S.I.D., and Seringai. Not to mention Bunga Citra Lestari and Agnes Monica.

Now, if only there was KOIL too...

Overheard: "Nging Nging Nging"

Di suatu tempat penjualan dvd dan mp3 (bajakan) di Tangerang, ada dua orang pemuda seumuran SMU, sedang sibuk memilah-milah CD di bagian mp3 artis dalam negeri.

Mungkin karena tak menemukan yang mereka cari, seorang dari mereka menanyakan ke penjaga stand, "Mbak, yang Pee Wee Gaskins ada gak?"

"Ada kok," kata si Mbak sigap.

"Mbak tahu kan Pee Wee Gaskins?" desak si pemuda, seakan tak percaya pada pengetahuan si Mbak Penjaga atas barang dagangannya.



"Tahu dong, yang musiknya nging nging nging itu kan?" kata si Mbak sambil tersenyum.

Aku menoleh dan melihat ekspresi muka kedua ABG itu lalu tertawa terbahak-bahak.

Crush Love

Call this a delightful coincidence. Sebenarnya tadi malam aku menuju sebuah mall dengan satu tujuan di dalam pikiranku, mencari album Gondrong Kribo Bersaudara yang pada wiken kemaren aku lihat dipajang di rak sebuah toko buku terkenal di daerah Kemang. Sebenarnya, cover albumnyalah yang menarik perhatianku dan seperti biasanya, pada saat itu aku memutuskan menunda dulu pembelian sebelum sedikit googling untuk mencari sekedar gambaran latar belakang band ini.



Band baru, tentu saja, seperti hal baru lainnya, tidak dengan gampang kubeli karyanya. Aku harus merasakan dulu, mencicipi, seperti apa sebenarnya "isi" mereka.

Lalu pada malam itu aku mendengar sebuah cuplikan lagu rock berbahasa Indonesia yang catchy diiklankan di sebuah stasiun radio khas Betawi. Sepertinya band ini menyenangkan, pikirku. Lalu pada saat aku mendengar nama band itu disebutkan, aku merasa seperti ini pertanda untuk membeli album mereka.

Di tokok CD di mall tersebut, aku mencari dan mencari lalu menemukan album mereka terselip di rak CD artis Indonesia, satu-satunya copy di tempat itu. Hooray! Aku ambil dan langsung menuju kasir.

Tapi dalam perjalanan, saat mataku menyapukan pandangan ke rak CD artis rock/metal luar negeri, ada sebuah cover album yang (lagi-lagi) menarik perhatianku. Bayangkan terkejutnya aku, ketika mengambil album tersebut dari rak dan melihat nama artisnya. Album studio terbaru dari afi! Cihuy dobel!

Buat kalian yang tak tahu, afi (afireinside) adalah band punk rock luar idolaku sejak pertama kali aku dengar hampir sepuluh tahun yang lalu.

Lalu yang aku lakukan sekarang adalah menikmati album afi terbaru sambil menikmati sebuah minuman kocok di salah satu coffee shop favoritku.

Jadinya aku dapat yang aku cari (album GRIBS) dan album terbaru afi....

Day 155: "Endlessly," She Said

Walked into our world and made horrible sounds.
I can still hear them today.
Strangely, they seem beautiful now though they outlast my love.
Still, each time I always meant every word, every one.
Though, in time they finally bent every word, every one.
"I will wait for you," she said, "endlessly."
"I will wait for you."
So spoke Misery.
I returned to you but found my empty home.
The radio told me to stay.
As it burned down I sang alone.
You will outlast, my love.
I have been waiting for you, biting as you taught me to.
I have come to relieve you of life and love.

= = = = = =

I did not know how or why but I suddenly had this urge to play this song again and again. So I dig up my CDs and took out AFI's "decemberunderground" which I bought a couple of years ago when I was still in Pontianak, West Borneo.

Even now, late night in the office, I still chat on online messenger and composing this post while repeatedly play this track. I still don't know how I became nostalgic but I must admit that this is one band that I want to watch when they come here for live performance on tour.

And now, when will it be?

Day 140: Aku dan Semua Yang Terluka Karena Cinta

mencoba mendefinisikan cinta,
ada berapa banyak orang yang sudah mencoba melakukannya?
termasuk aku.

seseorang pernah bertanya padaku,
"menurutmu, apa itu cinta?"

aku mencoba memberikan jawaban filosofis,
jawaban yang terdengar intelek dan berkualitas,
tapi yang keluar hanyalah rangkaian kata,
yang tak punya arti maupun integritas.

aku tergagap dan aku gagal.

sekarang aku cuma tahu,
cinta cukup dirasakan saja.

aku tak mau jadi bodoh dua kali,
mencoba mendefinisikan cinta dalam batasan,
yang gampang berubah seiring waktu.

bila aku pernah luka karena cinta,
semoga tak ada orang yang tahu,
tak ada orang yang melihatnya,
karena bagiku luka seperti itu sebaiknya,
dirawat dan disembuhkan dalam ruangan pribadi.

bila kau pernah luka karena cintaku,
bila kau pernah luka karena merasa kucintai,

biarlah kubiarkan kau dalam tanya,
sedalam apakah lukaku sendiri.

Mungkin Salahku Melewatkanmu

Sesal takkan ada arti karena semua t'lah terjadi.
.
.
.
Maafkan aku.

==================================

I wish I could say the same to myself. I wish I could say that I regret this. But then again, I am not. So why bother anyway. Just live on and keep on walking for whatever that lay behind me is already in my past.

I wish I could made you a poem. I wish I could write you a song. I wish I could paint you a picture.

But I am not all of that because I am not in any kind of an artist.

I wish I could say that I made this up. But right now, I don't even know how to separate my imagination from my reality.

I wish I could buy you things.

I wish I could protect you from harm.

I wish I could always be there everytime you need me.

I wish I was all that but I am not.

I just wish I never wrote this piece but then again I wish I did.

Day 120: I'm Not Okay With The Silence

I don't mind waiting as long as there is sun,
brightly shine and sometimes blinding,
if you just promise.
Even if it's a lie,
that you will come back home.

==============================

These are hard times.
And it's even harder to put on masks.
To wear faces to assure those around me,
that all's allright and work's well.

Some moments I spend in silence,
but only when I'm sure that there's
no one around to see if I should have
one or two teardrops for you.

These are hard times,
harder when I realize I made you,
A Promise.

Just a simple thing to do yet taking me,
just a lot strength of will to not to.
Because I made you a promise.

So I became silent.

And when I want to leave the light on,
I can't sleep, can't rest.
Because it is silent. Too silent.

And if I turn off the light,
the darkness is not a friend anymore.

But I stay silent.

These are hard times,
these are the times of the midnight sun.

These are hard times.
But I'll fool anyone.

Anyone but you.

Day 115: I Tried To, But It's Just So Damn Hard

You see, my real intention is to make a post about something that sound optimistic.

But given the things happen lately, it became harder to make one. Especially since I decided to stop doing my one hobby for a while. Yeah, that's right.

If you follow most of my post, you'll realize that how much I love photography. A lot of time and resource I already spent in this area. A lot of new friends I get from doing this hobby. A fun-loving community I joined in which we all laugh together. New places I visit that I don't think will ever be in my life if it wasn't for the hobby.

But right now I am stuck. I am in a dead end and the one and only way I came has been blocked by an avalance.

I am stuck in photography because I felt that I am already at the limit of my skill, creativity, and ability.

Which is why I thought that I need a hard reset by not doing any photography -- that is touching my camera and shoot some pictures -- at all. Yes, I still bring my travel weary Nikon D50 everywhere with the attached MF 50mm f/1.4 lens. But I rarely take hold it in my hand, much less taking pictures.

It's been almost a week and I already felt losing something that was really big in my life. I didn't know that my decision of leaving photography would really hurt my feelings. I felt an intense crave to take pictures but everytime I hold my camera and peek through the viewfinder, something came down in my head and block my mind.

I just forget what to shoot, because everything went dark.

My work became a burden. I find no fun in doing any chore and tasks. Eating my favorite dish won't even cheer me up. It used to but now it just don't.

Now here I am, writing this piece of post that I am sure that only a few people care to read -- if any at all.

I once said that it was photography that keep me sane and the one that I held dearly. There are even times when it was the only thing that kept me going through the week: A promise of doing some weekend photography with friends.

But now it just cease to be.

Doing this hobby just hurt me. And I hate getting hurt.

I am stuck. I don't know how to get out. I'm even tired of my life.

I think I am losing myself.

And I had to resist this ugly urge to crawl under a desk, holding my legs up, and hiding from the world.

I don't think I am losing myself. I AM losing it.

=============

Sorry
by Buckcherry

Oh I had a lot to say was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same

[Pre-Chorus:]
Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me want to die

[Chorus:]
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds, and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry:

This time I think I'm to blame it's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried it's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah I'm sorry!

[Chorus]
I'm sorry baby, yeah , I'm sorry

Day 40, 2009: The Way Out

Today is Feb. 9, 2009.

If I'm not doing some error in my elementary grade math, today is Day 40 in this year.

I decided to do something new, counting the days toward new year 2010 with a simple hope that in this year might prove to be fruitful and eventful. Maybe with a couple of things aquired this year that make me a better man.

Yup, I tried to change to become more positive on things. To view matters and try to find the good parts. To become (gradually) more expressive and gain more friends. To get out more and learn new skills.

And to write about more things that I already did. Which is kind of hard.

Anyway, writing this first post are getting into my brain because there are just so much things to talk about. So many places to explore. So many people to get to know better.

Hopefully, after this year, I changed into the rock that I want to when I was a kid.

Har har...

(The Way Out -- or Jalan Keluar -- is a song in So7's latest album "Menentukan Arah" that really occupied my mind lately)

Rentang Selera Musik Kita

Seseorang pernah mencoba memahami sekelumit kepribadianku dari jenis lagu yang kudengar sehari-hari. Aku sudah bilang, rasanya tidak sesuai. Tapi dia tetap ingin tahu, jadi kukatakanlah apa adanya.

Sama seperti musik yang kudengar hari ini:
Dimulai dengan album Sanity/Insanity dari Killed By Butterfly (metal) dilanjutkan ke album Turn It On dari Gugun and The Bluesbug. Mungkin dilanjutkan dengan Kamar Gelap dari Efek Rumah Kaca. Kebetulan hari ini aku sedang ingin mendengar album dari artis-artis dalam negeri.

Saat itu orang tersebut kupersilahkan melihat playlist di Winamp komputerku, isinya antara lain:
Rammstein (Herzeleid, Mutter, Live Aus Berlin, Reise Reise, Rosenrot*), HIM, Atreyu, beberapa band metal lainnya, lalu pindah ke Enrique Iglesias(!), George Michael(!!), terus ke Norah Jones, Diana Krall, lalu ke Sheila On 7, Padi, peterpan dan beberapa band pop(?) lainnya.

Aku tertawa ketika dia mengakui hanya mengetahui beberapa nama artist yang ada di playlistku (terutama nama-nama terakhir kusebut). Kutanya, gimana mau tahu pribadi orang dari musik yang didengar? Aku mendengar banyak genre musik. Bagiku yang penting musiknya asyik dan bisa dinikmati. Aku tak terlalu peduli pada pengkotak-kotakan musisi berdasarkan jenis musik yang dimainkan.

Seleraku selalu mengalami perubahan. Ada yang sampai kapanpun tetap kusuka. Ada yang dulu sangat kusuka tapi sekarang tidak lagi. Ada yang dulu aku tak bisa mengerti tapi sekarang bisa kunikmati (tapi mungkin masih tetap belum kumengerti he he...). Begitulah. Aku mendengar musik juga dipengaruhi mood. Ketika aku ingin semangat maka akan kuputar lagu-lagu yang bertempo cepat dan bisa memacu adrenalin. Ketika aku ingin santai aku memutar lagu semisal Bunga Citra Lestari (ha ha!) lalu kalau aku ingin mengerjai orang aku putar dengan volume suara besar (misalnya) Kangen Band lalu kutinggal. He he he...

Yang jelas selera kami berbeda karena dia gemar lagu pop dan lagu rohani. Aku? Gemar lagu duniawi.

Note:
* sampai sekarang aku belum punya album Sehnsucht, bukan tidak ketemu tapi sayang rasanya keluarin duit beli album seharga 1/4 juta rupiah! kan masih ada kebutuhan-kebutuhan lainnya yang lebih mendesak...

Full Moon In The Night

full moon in the night
apa yang telah membuatku menangis
full moon in the night
mungkin hanya kau yang bisa mengerti
full moon in the night
banyakkah duka harus kujalani



full moon in the night
sampai sepi kan hancurkan hatiku
kuingin dengannya, tapi ku tak mampu
dia tak tau, takkan pernah tau
full moon in the night
bahagiakanku didekap sinarmu


-- Aiu, Full Moon In The Night, Garasi II

Can't Wait And Wonder ....

When will I get Trivium's Shogun album? The original and legal Indonesian release?
I'm afraid that I'd resort to Kota Kembang in Bandung to obtain that album. Which I'm afraid is not right because it certainly be pirated.

And where in hell is the Indonesian release of:



Helloooooooo.....???

Tak Ada Yang Abadi

Peterpan.

Berapa banyak orang di Indonesia yang tidak mengenal band satu ini?

Akhir-akhir ini aku sering memutar lagu-lagu dari double album mereka, terutama beberapa single yang menurutku tak ada lawan, far more superior than other singles from most bands.

Dan tak lama lagi, kita tak akan lagi punya Peterpan.

Saat aku menulis post ini, aku pilih "Tak Ada Yang Abadi" dan kumainkan di Winamp dalam mode "repeat track"!

Hanya sampai 8 Agustus 2009, dan setelah itu kita kubur nama Peterpan dari dunia musik Indonesia.

Tak Ada Yang Abadi.

Sebelum mereka melepas nama Peterpan, aku ingin dua kali saja menonton penampilan live mereka. Kesempatan pertama untuk memfoto penampilan panggung mereka saat bermain musik; kesempatan kedua murni dan total untuk bernyanyi bersama para "sahabat peterpan" menikmati lagu-lagu yang sangat dekat dengan kehidupan bersekolahku...

Rasanya sedih mendengar suara Ariel yang menyanyikan ulang sebaris lirik itu,

"Tak Ada Yang Abadi..."

Memang, tak ada yang abadi, Sayangku, tapi setidaknya biarkanlah kita nikmati saat ini, bersama-sama....

18 and Life

"Ricky was a young boy,
he had a heart of stone..."



I didn't know it before - but now I do - how I could even headbanging to the sound of hair-metal!

And even did air-guitar acts!

That quote was from Skid Row's 18 and Life and you sure are familiar with the melody, that is if you grew up the way I did, listening to rock and metal bands alone because nobody in your house seemed to enjoy the melody of the guitars, the heavy riffs, distortions, screaming and high vocal pitch, agressive drummings, etc.



You see, sometimes in those adolescent years I felt kind of lonely because not many people I knew of were listening to rock bands.

Ah, that's not the point here.

I mean that while listening to Skid Row's album -- I played 18 and Life and I Remember You again and again -- I felt kind of nostalgic. And I was daydreaming of being a young boy (like Ricky) and being angry at the world that let me struggle to get through life even since a very young age.

"He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone."

Now that was something that I thought I could relate to. Not in the way that I must be working so I could eat. I felt that somehow I was being alienated in my early years, as a kid, a teenager, and first couple of years in the college.

I am being nostalgic.

Imagine that: Me. Nostalgic.

Gee...

I must be old.

Apaan Sih Laki-Laki Ini???

Kali ini aku bekerja sambil mendengarkan album ANGKASA, sebuah band yang baru muncul di televisi tahun ini (AFAIK).

Dan, astaga, musik mereka sangat pas-pasan!

Kualitas bermusik, lirik, tema, semuanya pas-pasan.

Dan mengingat ini hanyalah contoh acak, bila semua band yang baru-baru ini muncul seperti ini temanya, ampun deh!!!

Tetapi sepertinya banyak banget band-band yang muncul di televisi (semua personil atau banyak personillnya laki-laki) memiliki lagu-lagu hit yang mengiba-iba, keputusasaan, dan perasaan tak berdaya menghadapi wanita.

LAKI-LAKI MACAM APA SIH MEREKA INI!

My GOD!!! Sepuluh tahun yang lalu, laki-laki yang membikin band musik lagunya garang atau temanya "cowo banget"!

Sekarang?

Ada apa sih dengan pelaku musik Indonesia? Kenapa sampah dan lagi-lagi sampah?

Masa di zaman emansipasi, laki-laki malah semakin cengeng dan menangisi para perempuan yang "pindah ke lain hati"? Bahkan "jadikan aku lelaki cadangan"?

WTF???

Namanya juga mencari yang lebih baik. Kalau dia pergi, entah si dia tidak puas dengan dirimu atau dia merasa tidak cocok untukmu. All in all, it's your fault. But that doesn't justify all the cheesiness and the crap you called music.

Dan aku pasti sudah gila, mau bertahan mendengar album ANGKASA ini dari single pertama sampai yang terakhir...

T.O.A.D. - Santa Monica

She fills my bed with gasoline
You think I would've noticed
Her mind's made up
Her love is gone
I think someone's trying to show us a sign
That even if we thought it would last
The moment would pass
My bones will break and my heart would give
Oh, it hurts to live

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it's over

It hurts to breathe
Well every time that you're not next to me
Her mind's made up
The girl is gone
And now I'm forced to see
I think I'm on my way
Oh, it hurts to live today
Oh and she says "Don't you wish you were dead like me?"





And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it's over

I wanted more than this
I needed more than this
I deserve more than this
But it just won't stop
It just won't go away

I needed more than this
I wanted more than this
I asked for more than this
But it just won't stop
It just won't go away

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left it all behind
And I remember the day you told me it's over

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
Yeah, I remember the day you told me it's over

Lighting yang Jelek, Korbannya ya Fotomu...

Q: Seberapa penting lighting sebuah panggung dalam menentukan keberhasilan sebuah foto yang bagus?
A: SANGAT PENTING!

Seperti ketika aku ke Summarecon Mal Serpong (ya di Gading Serpong) pada malam Minggu kemaren, ternyata ada mini concert untuk promosi album mereka, yaitu band Putih dan Lyla (kalau tidak salah ejaan nama).



Berhubung aku datang sudah malam dan mesti makan malam dulu di Salsa Food Court, jadilah aku melewatkan penampilan Putih (not that I regretted it). Ketika aku datang, yang tampil adalah band reguler Downtown Walk, Stupid Band. Seperti biasa, penampilan mereka standar band Top 40, really nothing special.

Berikutnya ketika mereka break, tampillah Lyla.



Sebenarnya aku tidak terlalu berminat mengambil foto karena lighting di panggung musik itu jelek sekali! Tapi karena aku melihat seorang bapak yang kelihatan ingin memotret tetapi ragu (dia membawa sebuah DSLR), aku memutuskan untuk jadi provokator. Seperti orang-orang pada umumnya, bila berada di tempat yang belum pernah didatangi atau dalam kondisi yang belum pernah dialami, tidak tahu tindakan apa yang tepat atau pantas tidaknya melakukan`sesuatu.



Nah, bila ada orang lain yang melakukan dan ternyata tidak apa-apa, tentu berarti memang tidak apa-apa kan?



Tetapi memang benar, susah mendapatkan foto dimana wajah para personel band terlihat jelas tanpa bantuan flash dari arah si pemfoto. Tapi untunglah aku memakai diffuser pop-up flash (around IDR 75.000,00 at Pasar Baru) sehingga tidak kelihatan flat fotonya, tapi tetap saja aku tidak puas. Aku tidak tahu nasib foto si bapak tadi maupun si seksi dokumentasi band tersebut, yang sama-sama hanya memakai pop-up flash di body SLR mereka.



But there is one thing that they must learn, that I've known from experience AND through reading: kalau motret panggung, you must keep on moving. Different places and different angles. Apalagi kalau musisinya aktif bergerak di atas panggung. Tak mungkinlah kita stay di satu tempat dan menunggu semoga ada momen bagus yang bisa didapat. Lebih baik terus bergerak sesuai dengan momen bagus yang kita anggap akan terjadi.

Dan itu artinya kita tidak bisa menikmati musiknya secara utuh. Perhatian kita pasti terbagi. That's the downside of photographing stage act.



Kalau cuma menunggu di depan panggung, ya susah deh.

Dan sekali lagi, lighting di Downtown Walk itu jelek, makanya malas foto-foto di sana. Kenapa sih tidak membuat lighting yang lebih kreatif?

Hoi manajemen! Hoi hoi hoi!!!

Jakarta Rock Parade 2008



Very interesting, indeed. I just don't know if I could afford the time (three days!!!).

Why would it be three days? Because on day one I want to see Suicidal Sinatra and Koil. On day two I wish to see Getah, Fall, Burgerkill, and Deadsquad. And on day three, it'd be Seringai, Dead Vertical, Efek Rumah Kaca, Adrian Adioetomo, and Sajama Cut.

And on day one, which is Friday, I still have to work! It's workday, everybody!

For daily ticket, it'll cost me IDR 600,000.00 already!

I'm greedy yet cheapskate.

Sigh.
