It's kind of fitting that he passed just after the most recent episode of SVU had Fin mention what Munch was up to. Almost like one final reminder that he would never be forgotten. And he never will.
The next time you read about rape, molestation, harrassment and other forms of sexual abuse and violence, remember the names of Marwan Dasopang and Komisi VIII who said passing a law to keep human beings safe was “difficult”.
I find this incompetence difficult.

“Timur” by The Adams is named after Ario’s son because he came up with the music while the kid was sleeping. But the lyrics - which I wrote - are about me and my hopes, fears and anxieties. That the title spells “Rumit” in reverse is just a coincidence that the band ran with.

Seven years after writing the lyrics to "Timur", I've finally realised what the "Dan di hariku yang paling gelap" part actually means.
Back in the day people used to say melayu pop bands like Radja, Wali, Kangen Band and ST12 sucked.
Now they sing along loudly to every word.
Life is much more fun when you stop trying so hard to be cool, isn't it?

Hindia's Perayaan Bayangan setlist, 25 songs over 2.5 hours. Menari dengan Bayangan in full, plus surprise guests and covers galore.
Back when was a small band but with big enough ambition to put together a book that expanded their vision.

Noel Gallagher once wrote, "Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock & roll band who'll throw it all away."
Noel Gallagher also said that Matty Healy is a "slack-jawed fuckwit."
Both things are true. Especially today.

Great idea, keeps this grass nice and clean and the festival as a whole kid-friendly.
Quite a lot of these videos on TikTok. Don't feel bad if you haven't had the chance to do this with your significant other at a gig. I've never done it either, even though I wrote the darn words they're singing along with 😅
So they promoted a festival, cancelled it, made excuses about the refund process, then put on another show and cancelled it because they're scared of the people whose refunds they still owe? What a bunch of cowardly amateurs. Nothing is good about this.
Getting an entire festival cancelled and endangering the community he was supposedly standing up for by being a petulant tool should rank among the dumbest rock & roll moves of all time. Never mind one of the dumbest moves of Matty Healy's life.

Do yourself a favour and check out performing songs big band-style for Soundrenaline 2021. Gorgeous stuff, worth the hassle of installing the app and entering your ID details to let them know you're 18+ to see the show.
If you're going to see #Gundala at the cinema I recommend picking up the adaptation graphic novel. It fills in a lot of gaps they couldn't get to in the movie, with Marvel-level artwork by a guy who used to draw X-Men so you know it'll look good.
A good way of supporting your favourite band is by not embarrassing them because you harassed some random person on social media for not liking them as much as you do.
It's also a good idea to not harass random people on social media, period.
Never seen an artist self-sabotage their own reputation to such a degree and in such a short time. Going to take a shitload of work to build back trust in them.

I bought a first edition of 's Multiverses CD in part because it came with a book. Which is also why I bought Hindia's Menari dengan Bayangan box set. If you've got one as well, you might find a little something from me too.
Just one small example of how RKUHP will be a mockery of justice and humanity - particularly for women - if it gets passed.

Filing a police report because of getting banned on Instagram? I guess punk really is dead.
Got an early sneak preview of Hindia's debut album, Menari dengan Bayangan, for a special supplementary project.
Two thoughts:
1. Listen to the whole thing from start to end.
2. Have a box of tissues at the ready.

My main hope after last night's Maliq & D'Essentials concert is that they do more of their own shows (or even tours) in which they get to showcase the wider variety of their material as opposed to only taking jobs where they play the hits for 45-60 minutes.
Probably Indonesia’s greatest contribution to musical history.
From the retweets I found out two couples had proposals happen within metres of each other at the gig.
Besides the music, I guess the ballroom wedding vibes must have rubbed off.
Congrats and your respective partners, hope all goes well.

Tonight's Bon Iver setlist. Justin played "re:Stacks" on his own instead of "RaBi", which was fine by me because it was one of my personal highlights when I saw them in Singapore 2016. Too bad didn't come along this time, but overall it was still magical. #boniverjkt
Rimpang doesn't have songs that instantly grab you like bangers of old.
But true to the album's title, it will slowly grow on you and eventually not let go.
And this is one of the most gorgeous songs they've ever created.
Hanging out with this bunch for a week. Should be interesting.
Singing the national anthem before a concert is commonplace nowadays.
But getting to conduct it?
Only at 's Parade Sihir show.
Last night Hindia and Lomba Sihir played a few songs together.

I guess didn't play "Red Light" at because they needed to stick to their allotted 75-minute set time, a good chunk of which was taken up by the fan drummer invitation process.
But at least Adam of gets bragging rights, so it's all good.
