Radiohead.


Penatnya bercakap pasal politik!

Refresh,defrag dan carpe diem - seize the day.Blogger-blogger kadang-kadang perlu untuk take a break,refresh,dan cakap benda yang tak serious.Tapi aku tak pernah tak serious bila menulis.Bercakap tentang benda yang tak pernah habis.Politik ni,dari zaman Qabil dan Habil sampai ke kiamat - tak pernah habis.

Hari ni aku bercakap pasal muzik.Sebuah kumpulan rock alternatif Britain yang boleh aku sifatkan "the greatest band in the world after John Lennon died",Radiohead.

Duduk-duduk sambil dengar mp4,lagu Radiohead-Karma Police menyapa ke telinga.Bercakap tentang takdir.Seolah-olah takdir menjadi diktator dan kita harus terima arahan takdir-atau ditangkap oleh Polis Karma."This is what you'll get,when you mess with us.",satu manifestasi amaran kepada semua yang cuba melawan takdir.

Kemudian terus ke lagu seterusnya,"Creep".Lagu yang mengisahkan seorang yang kecewa cintanya ditolak oleh seorang perempuan(atau dia rasa terlalu rendah diri dengan ability sendiri)."I wish I was special,you're so fucking special..",sifat yang biasa kita dengar dalam kehidupan remaja.Seolah-olah mahu mengiyakan kata-kata Homer Simpson "Kids,you've try and you fail miserably.The moral is,never try."Penafian tentang semangat kehidupan.

Tapi lagu yang paling menyusuk dalam sanubari dan hati,No Surprises.Mengisahkan seorang yang penat dengan kehidupan,dan kadang-kadang mahu "hands-off" dengan kehidupan,isolasikan diri dari semua masalah yang ada.Hidup tertekan,ditambah dengan tekanan ekonomi dan sebagainya.

Dan akhirnya terbentuklah satu frasa yang cukup menarik untuk aku berkongsi bersama.

"bring down the government,they don't,they don't speak for us..."

Apakah situasi kerajaan menindas rakyat,macam kes di Pelentong,adalah lumrah diseluruh dunia?

Anarkis wujud kerana tidak lagi mahu percaya dengan kerajaan,sosialis wujud kerana penindasan tuan tanah terhadap serf,dan penindasan kaum pemodal kapitalis terhadap pekerja dalam era Revolusi Industri.

Anyway Radiohead memang betul-betul menyentuh jiwa aku.Lagu "Let Down" misalnya,setiap kali aku dimalukan atau dijatuhkan,aku akan terbayang lirik ni,"one day i will grow wings,a chemical reaction...let down and hanging around,crushed like a bug in the ground.."

The best band in the world,so far.Aku ikutkan hati nak sembang panjang je pasal Radiohead ni,tapi pasal internet connection ni asyik putus-tus tus...better off aku cut sampai sini dulu.

W:George W. Bush farewell movie?




By E the Prototype Robot.

He might be "the most hateful person on Earth".

He might be grade C college student idiot.

But he is the most powerful man on Earth.

Meet George W Bush,The President of United States.


For lovers or haters,Democrat or Republican,this movie represents determination(for me),although his political and point of view are definitely different with me.He was an alcoholic bum,a guy that always lost with sex and booze,became strong and to be the most powerful person on Earth.

Such a guy.

I've watched this movie at the moment his apperentice of his neo-con movement,Stephen Harper won Canadian election,while his Republican friend John McCain debate with Barack Obama on that day.

I creditted George W Bush as "real-deal man" after watching this movie.I won't vote for him for a thousand years of course--but I salute his bravery to wake up,from lazy bum,to create history of the world.The way he handled September 11th,well,the rest of the world disagrees,but he is keep and determine to keep America save.


Well,the New York Post published excerpts from an early draft of the script. The column, written by Cindy Adams, stated “Pro-Bushies will hate it, antis will love it.”


Stone has described the structure of W. as a three-act film starting with Bush as a young man "with a missed life", followed by his transformation and "an assertion of will which was amazingly powerful" as he came out from his father's shadow, and finally his invasion of Iraq.

I credit this movie,as the best movie I ever watched--alongside Star Wars,Syriana,and Spy Game.

Watch that movie.You'll be inspired by him--at least to be sucsessful.
