MUSIC I LISTEN : THE MARS VOLTA - TEFLON

 

A crazy mother-of-all-F 8-piece progressive rock band from El-Paso Texas creates a new arranged melody in their latest album, Octahedron, 2009.

A combination of pra-opioid live performance, overrated experimental guitar effects, ethical bass-drum beat, and dark lyrics, thanks to Omar and Cedric, The Mars Volta spirit world is born. Salute!

P/S: Me all-time fav Mars-track will always be Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) of their 1st album, De-Loused In The Comatorium. Sorry Octahedron.

Loved

MUSIC I LISTEN : CODES IN THE CLOUDS - DON'T GO AWASH IN THIS DIGITAL LANDSCAPE

 

My newly favorite post-rock band from the land of awesome, Britain. Great shit intro. Catchy guitar solo-tunes and half-headbanging chorus, perfect answers to the feeling of curiosity and guilt.

MOVIE I FANCY: THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS (2008)

Me was excited at first to know that this novel-based-film is about Holocaust. A film directed by Mark Herman, turns out to be a bloody normal Hollywood-based movie where all are lies. Sad. A good Jew kid that are a slave to a Nazi family and wanna be lil mate with a naughty German kid. Well likewise, the conclusion is simple: Jew is good.

But what I like about this film is the film showed a multi-layered portrayal of the German characters. None of them are one dimensional wholly evil characters but nor are they wholly good either.


As we all know (brainwashed by the media), Nazi is the most evil killing-minded bastard race (race?) that ever lived. Does any-freaks know all the World War are planned and structured by the Illuminati and Freemasons? Well lets look back to what Albert Pike, one of Illuminati have deliberately exposed why World War II happened:

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

So what da ya get? The world wanna show us that the Nazi is bad? Well it works aite?

FASHION I INSPIRE: THE KOOKS

As you all know, Brit-so-called-fashion is kinda bringing back all those blabberin around Malaysian for some time now. But to me, when it comes to fashion..my free pass goes to The Kooks.

With their buzzes of Supergrass/Blur style Brit-Pop, I quite fancy how they look. Don't roll your eyes just because they're another "The" band. practically lovin their speedy guitar-music and their general adorableness-style.

Especially the shoes!

PEOPLE I SALUTE: OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ

From the band At The Drive-In, The Mars Volta and later release his own solo album, The Omar Rodríguez-López Quintet. Yea one of the best live guitarist ever lived.

Well bein a twat-scuffin cocaine, he maybe deserved it.

MOVIE I FANCY: ARRANGED (2007)

ARRANGED centers on the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman who meet as first-year teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. Written by Stefan Schaefer.

A really pretty lil independent film with wonderful messages. I love the part where the director centers the tale of friendship, loyalty, duty between two different tradition.

Well maybe in real life it isn't as neat porkies as in the film.
But stop whinging lads..it's a crackin film.

Rating: 4/5
