Hmmm… I know the this sounds wrong but I was once addicted to this character called Hard Gay. Yet, another comical character from Japanese television, and yeah, japan this country has sooo many things to offer okay..! Banzai~
Hard Gay was a tv personality, acted out by Razor Ramon (real name: Masaki Sumitami). He was a wrestler by profession and well. read up on him in wikipedia i guess. Thats all i can say.
Catch all of Hard Gay’s episodes on youtube. Just type ‘bakafish’ on search<- yep, that’s the name of the translation group that subbed the whole episodes for internet consumers.
Here’s one example of a music video that was done.. with, of course, ecchi feel and comical lyrics.
sidenote: i read up somewhere that hard gay created controversials within the homosexual communities as some were apparently felt insulted and stuffs like that. Hmmm.. i dunno. to me, he’s just another random entertaining character with exaggerated persona. and i love Razor Ramon. Hooooooooooooooooooooo~~~!!!
ah, and when he got negative comment from people whom he was interacting with, his trademark phrase would be, “say say say say!~” and yeah. i used them once in a while. hahaha *blushed*
Why 14 minutes? okay, to tell you guys (and gurls) the truth… its nothing. hahaha.
no significance or what-so-ever.
Anyway, history repeated itself again, yesterday. I guess Digital Output Room has some grudge over me or something. hahaha. The first one being there to calibrate my laptop.. and I stupidly left my laptop charger back home, so i have to travel back, retrieved it and did it. The second one, being somewhat muddlehead, happened to be yesterday, when I was there to cut the vinyl. I did not outline the font, and it was not the common font. hahaaha.. went back, did stuffs to the file and then went back and gave it Carlos. He must be laughing at my whatever-you-wanna-call. *sigh*
anyway. moving on. Here’s the vid:
It’s Brian Littrell (from BSB) and his son.. Awwwwwwwww.. so cute. waahaha *nosebleed*
Great to see someone so homie and humble, performing on stage, and not forgetting their loved ones as well. whahaa
Im trying to answer people’s request here. whahhaa. So far I had Tom asking me to show him some of the Indonesian song (that I think is nice, of course ohohho) and Gab asking me to put up some of my freerunning stuffs (which my friend is stilll finding in her stacks of hard drives ahahha).
And now, Im breaking my ‘usual trend of rock’ cause Indonesian songs are about love love love man~ so yeah, practically most of the songs are in pop genre, well, maybe soft rock + pop, but definitely strong element of pop. Which is why, again, causes me not to be so much into them, but heck, they are nice and thats okay. whhahaa. Some are into a lil lil bit of techno, grunge but mostly, still pop. whahhaa… And the PV, they may not have so much appeal. whaha. simple scenes and stuffs..
And yes… dramatic actions… dramatic songs. whahahaa.. tts all i can say, i guess.. till then. Enjoy.
1. Jikustik – Pulanglah Padanya
This is one of Indonesia’s popular band. Decent voice, decent music, usual love songs (this is the sad one). And erm oh yeah, cute bassist. what can i say. its the same everywhere. pop band = good lookers. whahhaha..
2. Nidji – Child
Oh well oh well, this song.. doesnt have a music video yet. So this is the best i can find for you people. Errm… its an indonesian english song. whahahaha… whatever. BUt i still like it though.. a LOT!
3. Samsons – Kisah Yang Tak Sempurna
The new arising boyband. He has great voice. hehehe. And yeah, another sad love song, on failed relationship. Usual stuff.
4. Peterpan feat. Chrisye – Menunggumu
This is the (currently) the most popular band in Indonesia. Great lyrics, songs, music, etc… oh well. the list goes on. Chrisye (rip) was one of the most popular singer as well, passed away earlier this year from some cancer. He had… unique voice. tts all i can say. And yes, this song (another sad one, i wonder if i will be able to find the happy ones) is a bout waiting..
5. Garasi – Bukan
Garasi is an interesting band, formed by actors + an actress, scouted to form his band and then, make the movie. So yeah, pretty much ‘fabricated’. But well, i love her voice. and the music. lol. what else.. whahaa.
6. Dewa 19 – Kirana
Hmm.. this band is like the Aerosmith of Indonesia (but muuuuuuch way younger). Its an old song, super popular hit, but yeah, for the reason which you all can see clearly (my last name) I like this song a lot. Nice song too, great lyric. Hahaha. A lil bit sidetrack, Kirana… is some mythical God in javanese culture.
7. ADA Band feat. Gita Gutawa – Yang Terbaik
You will love this if you love charlotte church voice, whahaha. The lil girl here sang so well that i couldnt resist to replay this song for dozens of time before i move on to other songs. Hmm. this song is about father and how we appreciate our father’s love
8. Mocca – I Remember
Mocca is the first (i think) indonesian band that sang english songs. Hehehe. I love her dreamy voice. Lol. Most of the songs are good, but i really need to find the others in youtube cause they are not widely known.
9. Mocca – Secret Admirer
So classic. whahaha, They’re still one of the best though~
Well, if you dont, this is a good website for you to put your artwork (non motion). It could be photos, writings, 3D, 2D, flash, manipulations, graphics, vectors.. lol. You name it. I have an account in it for fun, but people could sell their artworks there too. Here are some of the works which I like and fave-d in my deviantart account:
ah yeah, i guess that’s all. Will add on as soon as I can find more. Meanwhile…. i have been procrastinating. kill me, hahaha. So now, it’s time for bath! (3:24 am) go, go, go, kath! so you can start on your work soon.
FYI, I deleted my entry on the ENGL 100 essay mock up. I felt like it was a mundane entry, cos’ firstly it’s so long, and secondly nobody gave constructive comments so I guess its time was up. Hohohoho. Anyway I’m done and will be submitting it next monday.
Moving on to projects. Gawd, we have loads of projects right now! Every one of them seemed to be piling up on top of each other, just like photoshop layers (or maybe worse, illustrators’). DIVA, DIVA and DIVA. ENGL, MHIS and FVIM. Hahaha. I can cry just by thinking about them. But anyway, rejoice people, for I heard design majors didn’t sleep for nights… so I guess I should be counting my blessings eh~ (cos i do sleep at night.. only lacking of it)
I have a few questions in mind:
1. do you get obsessed and engrossed while doing image manipulating or vectoring?
2. do you have enough sleep?
3. if you are made to create your own audio soundtrack, do you actually make them?
or just mixing existing files? (i know you did, Gab)
4. how do you start your creative processes? visuals first, or concept/message first?
