[THIS IS CRAP]
Thanx to Sil-puh C and Niterider Sapphire for informing me that my semi-naked pic here was featured on the VOX front homepage.
The nice people behind VOX certainly has a poor taste =)

a salute to a friend + eid mubarak roundup
A salute to a friend
Our good friend from the A-Level years, DINO, who works in London, went
back to Bolehland for a short festive holiday recently. For old time
sake, we went for a jam session at Black Widow, a studio where we frequently hang-out during the black A-Level days back in the late 90s.
This flyer was handed-out to all the participants of the ongoing UMNO assembly:
The reunion showcased members of the 'most-beloved-but-now-defunct' A-Levels punkrock bands, MAMAK(vocals&guitar) and DINO himself(bass) of Psycho Duke with AKHTAR(guitar) of SBP. Rounding up the quartet was JOKER as the guest drummer, back hitting the skins after a 4-year(!) hiatus.
Back then, both Psycho Duke and SBP has released a demo and contributed a song each in the 'critically-acclaimed' Shah Alam Underground Scene Complilation...but then Siti Nurhaliza came to prominent. She whitewashed the music scene. Everyone else in the industry was irrelevant.
DINO told me that they were xtremely honoured to cover the Fiona song. We agreed that 4U2C is the most talented band Bolehland has ever produced, maybe on par with kumpulan IMPRESSION.
They went on to cover 'Roots Radical', a song by an unknown Californian East-Bay band RANCID.

So this is the reunion lineup:
ACIP, SEDI, SCOTT, KECHIQUE and mie were there too as busybodies
"Fiona...terciptalah irama cinta ini"

Check out the clip below:
The reunion was also an excuse for some of these people to wind-up because apparently they have their own hidden agenda:
1. This week is AKHTAR's final days as a bachelor. He is getting married this weekend. (finally, 'city jeans' can be laid to rest)
2. KECHIQUE too is in his final phase as a KJL* member. He will get married next weekend. (i post about it earlier here)
3. JOKER was celebrating his birthday that nite. (sorry bro. you're old...haha
the aftermath:
*KELAB JIWA LUKA

Eid-Mubarak Roundup
This week is the final days of the Holy Month of SYAWAL. A round-up:
He is my cousin's son...somehow qualified as my nephew
long story short:
my cousin went to perform HAJ last year and met a new friend. They had
an intense chat, among the topic was on their children: my cousin told
him about his bachelor son; his new friend boast about his virgin
daughter. errr...you do the math then...

Eid BBQ at SEDI's
Instead of the customary Lemang, Ketupat or Rendang, host SEDI and SHILA (and their little
princess QISTINA BATRISYIA) threw a twist to the Eid Celebration by generously threating a group of hungry, young (and horny?) men to a BBQ party.
A nite of great food, supplemented by a healthy forum on current affairs; from the hottest tube on the net, the wonderful world of 3gps to free lesson on Indonesian terms
Kudos goes to SEDI and SHILA on the RM lost, susah-susah hosting and serving super-delicious food...We will not hesitate to come if ever invited again...heheh
(pardon the smokey pix, apparently the lens was hit badly by the burning charcoal...maklumlah amatiran photographer ;D )

Vox Hunt: Favorite Local Band
Show us your favorite local band.
Submitted by Soup.
In addition to Search (see below) and err..4U2C, I have to add this highly respected band Cromok.Sam, Din (RIP), Karl and Miji were Malaysian students studying in University of Wollongong, Sydney when they decided to form a thrash metal band in late 80s. They caused quite a sensation in the Sydney underground scene with their brand of unique straight up thrash metal sounds back then.
Always keen to stick to their roots, Cromok's blend of metal with Malay traditisional elements made them some sort of a local icon ..as evident in the adaptation of 'Ulek Mayang' (a Terengganu folk song) as the intro to 'Metallurgical' (from their defining debut album 'Image of Purity').
last month i ran into Sam buying a nasi bungkus at Gerai Kak Nor, Pasar TTDI. Apparently he is currently an engineer at the nearby VETS building (formerly IBM tower)
_____________________________________________________________
It was 1986 . I went to a seedy music shop at the nearby kompleks PKNS to get a copy of Search's 'Langit dan Bumi' cassette straight after one religious class (kelas mengaji darjah tiga). They successfully taught me 3 fundamental things in life:
1) not to be so uptight
2) loosen up a bit
3) and be a good kid at the same time.
2) loosen up a bit

i heard they are still going strong until today
