My Playlist of The Month-July 2011

For this month I liked to listen brit-pop music or something like that. Usually I always listen to metal, rock, hard core, short saying, dark music. Yeah, like Korn, P.O.D., System of A Down and friends.

I don't know what's going on with me this month but really I wanna chillin' my ears.

First, now, I'm falling in love with Clap Your Hand Say Yeah. Most favourite is Over and Over Again (Lost and Found).  I really like the music and the way the vocalist sing the lyric. It can cheer me up and repair my mood instantly.
"I heard it from a friend
The Revolution never happened
Sigh
A little die
No more a child
Goodbye


No where's the woolen sweater
You mentioned in the letter?
Imply
The other guy
And scandalize the lion


A clean shave in the morning
And a full beard with no warning
Time has gotten by on alibis and wine


Success is so forbidding
But it makes me think I'm winning
Quiet
Dim the lights
Adopt another lifestyle


You look like David Bowie
But you've nothing new to show me
Start another fire
And watch it slowly die"

 

Second, still CYHSY, with the new single, Same Mistake. Nice ryhme and music. It's energic music that can shake your head enjoying it.




Third, Blitzen Trapper-God & Suicide, band from Oregon, USA. Check out them here.

"i can live with god and with suicide
the same thing holds if i close my eyes
it's a truth so pure it can kill you dead
a taste of heaven mixed with hell inside of my head


if a three-four cord can ignite a flame
and a girl like you can forget my name
then i'm that far gone in this crooked grave
with a pistol for my creature and a feather for my day


when i do go down in a rain of toil
with a hand in my satchel and my knees in the soil
i can live with god and with suicide
a lover in her calico, a pony stands at her side


i can live with god and with suicide
the same thing holds if i close my eyes
it's a truth so pure it can kill you dead
a taste of heaven mixed with hell inside of my head"



Fourth, Donna Lewis ft Richard Marx-The Beginning, from Disney's movie - Anastacia.

"We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you


No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start


Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey


I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you


We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you


Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey


I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you


I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart


Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey


I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you


Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you."



Fifth, Death Cab For Cutie. I like the song, Soul Meets Body. The important thing for musics I listen is rhymes the sing. It has to be catchy in my ears, like this song.

"I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station

Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here

And I cannot guess what we'll discover

When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

And I do believe it’s true

That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it’s true

That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere"


Sixth, still DCFC, with the song I Will Follow You Into The Dark.

"Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white

Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide

That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide

That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark"


Seventh, Incubus-I Wish You Were Here. I know that this song soooooooo old, but I like to listen it. Sexy voice of Brandon. Few days ago, I watched them in TV and I shocked see Mr. Brandon look older and thinner. Well, the only video of Incubus I have is Drive. Yeah, out of date and he so sexy and everything *blush*.

"I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn
across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy
Happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were... here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy
Happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were... here
Wish you were here

The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air
Sayin

I wish you were here
I wish you were...
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were... here
Wish you were here" 




Eighth, Kid Cudi ft MGMT-Pursuit of Happiness.

Verse 1:

Crush A Bit; Little Bit; Roll It Up; Take A Hit

Feelin’ Lit Feelin’ Like 2 Am Summer Night

I Don’t Care; Hand On The Wheel; Drivin Drunk; I’m Doin’ My Thing

Rollin The Midwest Side And Out Livin’ My Life Getting’ Out Dreams

I’ll Be Fine Once I Get It; I’ll Be Good

Verse 2:

Tell Me What You Know About Night Terrors; Nothin’

You Don’t Really Care About The Trials Of Tomorrow
Rather Lay Awake In A Path Full Of Sorrow

[Chorus]


I’m On The Pursuit Of Happiness and I Know Everything That Shines Ain’t Always Gonna Be Gold

Nineth, The Dandy Warhols-Nietzsche. First time I know about them after I watched Antitrust. Movie about hacker with Ryan Phillipe who acted in Cruel Intentions 1. 

"I want a god who stays dead
not plays dead
I, even, I, can play dead
I want a god who stays dead
not plays dead
I, even I, can play dead
I want a god who stays dead
not plays dead
I, even I, can play dead"



Tenth, still The Dandy Warhols, with song, Godless. Much love for this song. I don't know why I like this song. Just fell for it.

"Hey I said you're godless and
it seems like you're a soulless friend
as thoughtless as you were back then
I swear that you are godless
hey I guess you loved me when
I gave or when you took something
it's stranger than it's ever been
I guess, it's what you wanted
of late it seems lonely I will be
I beg, I plead
but this is all that I have gotten
hey as for the day my friend
to hope that you could ever bend
I swear you are, I swear you are
I swear, that you are godless
hey I said you're godless
hey and you're a soulless friend
hey I said you're heartless
and I swear, I swear
godless
godless
you're godless"



Eleventh, One Night Only. Who don't know them?? 5 cute guys from England??? Aaaaahhhh!!!! I'm crazy with George. Well, I'm so relief if  George marry Emma Watson. They're cute couples, just like William and Kate. I never boring listen a song, It's Alright.

"Should I stay, should I go, I can't make up my mind anymore
She's walking round the corner, I've got my back to the wall

Yes you're telling me, it's alright, it's alright
Yes you're telling me, it's fine, it's alright

Life is like a jigsaw, sometimes it's all over the floor
When the pieces fit together, you feel a thing you've never felt before

You're telling me it's alright, it's alright
Yes you're telling me, it's fine, it's alright

Who's that banging on my door?
I look outside the sky's painted the floor
I think were safe I think were fine
The moments here, the feelings right, it's alright" 



Twelveth, still ONO, Chemistry. First saw the video in Burberry accoustic folder in Youtube. Just see the video, and you will say "Yes, he's so cute, handsome and I'm melted."But I really hate with someone-I-don't-know-who-took-the-video. He or she wasn't so bright with camera.


"Maybe It's the chemistry,
The sparks that fly from you to me
I touch your skin, I feel alive
Been searching for you every night.

Where am I supposed to go?
I'm hoping that you won't say no
We've got all the time in the world.

It must be the chemistry, tonight
I hope you that know
I won't let you go this time

It must be the chemistry, between you and I
I hope that you know
I won't let you go this time

Underneath the starry sky,
You can bring me back to life.
I touch your skin, I feel alive
Been searching for you every night.

Take me somewhere I don't know,
Watch all the people down below,
We've got all the time in the world."



Thirteenth, Placebo. My new favourite band. And the cover song from the Pixies, Where Is My Mind, ost. Fight Club, is including in my playlist of this month.

With your feet in the air , and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it! Yeahh!
Your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself?

chorus:

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out, in the water see it swimmin´

I was swimmin´ in the Carribean

Animals would hide behind the rocks.
Except the little fish
But he told me east was west
Tryin' to talk

chorus:

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out, in the water see it swimmin´?

With your feet in the air, and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it! Yeahh!
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

chorus:

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out, in the water see it swimmin´



Fourteenth, Life In Film. A band from England which the vocalist, Samuel Fry, being a model for Burberry. I found difficulties searched for mp3 and lyric. So, I only got the video.

7 Ways To Make Your Hair Being A Friend

This is for you who still living in a school life. Is that amazing? School life?? Class, cafetaria, park, library for the last, are several places that school's people like. Okay, except the library. And girls, I know that you need these.


Every college girl has been there – after a late-night library session and only a few hours sleep, you wake up late with only a few minutes to throw something on and book it to class. With barely enough time to get dressed, not enough time for a shower, and bed head on top of that, what’s a stylish girl to do? Go to class with bad hair? Never!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Get Rid of Grease
Beat oily “second day” hair with this easy trick: grab some baby powder if you’re light-haired or matte bronzer if you’re a brunette and apply it to your roots with a big fluffy makeup brush. This absorbs grease and makes your hair look fresh. Then just fix any stray strands with a flat iron; shake out your hair and go.






2. Slip on a Headband
For an elegant style that’s so Blair on Gossip Girl, smooth out your hair with a brush, then pull on a wide headband to cover up messier strands and look instantly polished. Try a shiny patent leather headband in an outfit-coordinating shade for a super-trendy look that’s very right-now.








3. Do a Messy Bun
This is the basic go-to staple for most college girls because it takes two seconds. Gather your hair on top of your head and wrap an elastic band around 2-3 times. Next, shape the bun with a few bobby pins that match your hair color, pull out a few ends to make it messier, and finish with a spray of hairspray.






4. Try Chopstick Hair
This style only looks difficult.. it’s actually insanely easy to do. If you don’t know how to make a chopstick updo, check out this Youtube tutorial, or for another way to do it, this tutorial. You don’t need actual chopsticks for this look – special hair sticks or even a pencil will work in a pinch.







5. Make a Chic Ponytail
If your hair is curly, use a little anti-frizz cream first. If you have straight locks, scrunch in curl cream to bring out some waves. Tease hair at the crown then pull into a low ponytail. Leave a ½ inch strand out and secure the ponytail with a clear elastic. Wrap the extra strand around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.






6. Do a Front Hair Poof
This popular hairstyle is a great way to hide bangs you might be growing out, and is also very simple to do. Just separate the section of hair from temple to temple, tease it with a fine-toothed comb and secure with two bobby pins in an X. If your hair won’t stay in the bobby pins, tease the section more or use four pins.





 7. French Braid Sideways
Inspired by Matthew Williamson, this style is best if you’re good at French braiding, but with practice anyone can do it. Part your hair to the side then French braid across your hairline, securing with a clear elastic. This look is boho chic so leave the rest of your hair messy. If you have natural waves, even better.

Batik Indonesia

Now, I want to let you know about Indonesia's traditional clothing. Indonesia known as Batik country. Batik is a cloth that traditionally uses a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. You can pronounce it like this:  BatikJavanese pronunciation: [ˈbateʔ]; Indonesian: [ˈbatɪʔ]; English: /ˈbætɪk/ or /bəˈtiːk/). Pretty simple, huh?? No?? Well, like this. Do you know Bali? Yes. Say 'Ba' in batik like you say 'Bali'. Then, say 'tik' like 'tick-tock' but remove the word 'c'. Yeah, Batik. hohohoo..

Another meaning of Batik is clothing or fabric including the use of certain motifs that have uniqueness. Batik Indonesia, as the overall engineering, technology, and development-related motives and culture, UNESCO has been designated a Cultural Heritage for Humanity Oral and Nonbendawi (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity) since October 2, 2009.

I know that Batik is beautiful and amazing so our neighbour's country - M....... - confessed that Batik was original from their country. And they also conceded Pendet dance came from there. That's ashamed! Okay, forget it.

Although the word's origin is Javanese, its etymology may be either from the Javanese amba ('to write') and titik ('dot' or 'point'), or constructed from a hypothetical Proto-Austronesian root *beCík, meaning 'to tattoo' from the use of a needle in the process. The word is first recorded in English in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1880, in which it is spelled battik. It is attested in the Indonesian Archipelago during the Dutch colonial period in various forms: mbatek, mbatik, batek and batik.

Here's examples of Batik :
















Batik is identically with Java island, like batik Solo, batik Pekalongan, batik Cirebon, etc. Except batik, in Indonesia also have another clothing or fabric like ulos, songket, etc. 

Batik usually uses as a formal clothing or for uniform. But now the government want the Indonesian people with proud use Batik as a daily clothes. So a lot of designers in Indonesia make casual clothes for teenagers and spread Batik to the universe. Batik can be modified with beads, ribbons or anything you like to make chick designs like these:

No words, just see! I know that you don't like read words when you see a lot of  pictures.
