Petisi Pecat Nudirman Munir dari DPR

Peringatan
(Wiji Thukul)

Jika rakyat pergi
Ketika penguasa pidato
Kita harus hati-hati
Barangkali mereka putus asa

Kalau rakyat bersembunyi
Dan berbisik-bisik
Ketika membicarakan masalahnya sendiri
Penguasa harus waspada dan belajar mendengar

Bila rakyat berani mengeluh
Itu artinya sudah gawat
Dan bila omongan penguasa
Tidak boleh dibantah
Kebenaran pasti terancam

Apabila usul ditolak tanpa ditimbang
Suara dibungkam kritik dilarang tanpa alasan
Dituduh subversif dan mengganggu keamanan
Maka hanya ada satu kata: LAWAN!

Super Moon in Palembang, Indonesia

Forewords: Ah, hell yeah. I know that there were a load of posts like this one out there. But, it doesn’t matter, because I just want to share and write something. Do you agree? Are we cool? If yes then let’s begin…

Last night, the weather here was cloudy and rainy. It caused the so-called super moon can’t be seen. And tonight, a few minutes ago, around 21.10 West Indonesia Time (GMT+7), I sat in my veranda and looked at the sky, staring at the moon. I think it is true that the full moon looks a bit larger than usual (I don’t know how large the moon last morning). I took some pictures using my phone and my handycam, but the pictures doesn’t look that good. Luckily, some taken by my sister (using her own camera phone) looks better. For sure, I condemn my digital camera, why must it be broken! Errgghh!

Vickyvette’s Into the Universe

A few days ago, I’ve wrote about Vickyvette band. And now I’d like to have a small talk about one of its song, “Into the Universe”. Why this song? What’s so special about it?

Well, this Vickyvette’s “Into the Universe” ending part is such a joy for my ear (and soul?). Is this some kind of trance? Psychedelic? Psychedelic trance (psytrance)? I’ve made a cut version of it, so listen to it first then you name it! You decide it! What’s the proper term for this kind of feelings.

Unlock Huawei USB Modem (A Quick and Easy Way)

Kali ini, saya akan menguraikan cara yang relatif lebih cepat, lebih mudah, dan (mungkin) lebih aman dalam meng-unlock USB modem produksi Huawei yang di-bundle dengan SIM card operator seluler tertentu saja. Here we go…

Vickyvette Band, Who are They?

It’s been a long time for me not talking about music in my blog. And now, I would like to talk about a band from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, named Vickyvette. The very first time I heard about this band was around the forth quarter last year (2010). Got the download link to their songs from one of my friend.

Wait, wait? Download link? Are they distribute their music, their hard work, their creativity, and their money (for recording, promotion, etc) for free? Or… Are you pirating their songs illegally?

Nah, I didn’t pirate their songs! They did it themselves, sharing away their songs and let everyone hear it for free. Yeah! They did it!

Why?

I got the answer from here, They distribute their music for free in order to introduce their music for the audience to hear and to receive feedback from them. And it can also be a very valuable lesson for them in the near future when the ‘real’ album is ready.

And, the code name must also funny and/or cool and/or creative.
