Music of the Month and Events of the Month

its already nearly end of January....so, yeah, event of the month and some of music which have been heavy playing in my I-Pod.



This album is made by my all time favourite an artist Ken Ishii. When i bought this album.....to being honest, i didnt really like it because the music he made for this album was really similar with his last album "Future in Light" but then i start listening again and again....and i still loved Future in Light better but some tracks on this album are really good too. Exactly sounds like "Sunriser".



Now dont really need to mention about these guys anymore.....Just Awesome!.

Now, its a bit different category here. EVENT OF THE MONTH.



I finally went to Aus Open after living in Aus for 7 years. Thats really great!. Thats most beautiful day i had in this month thats for sure.

Ok...OK....Lets do this again!!!

"Salt" By KiloWatts & Vanek

Salt on your skin
Then you sigh
As you’re shivering, quivering
Ready to sin
And you cry
So electrical, sensual

Lost in your eyes
Taste mortality
It’s infusing me
The poison inside
Riding an acid stream
In my lucid dream

Never thought that this would be killing me, ever so easily
Never thought that I would be bleeding emotions I needed to feel
Just like a flaring sun in oblivion
And I’m giving in to my adrenalin

Touch me and then
You just move
Like a demon enticing me
On me again
You’re so smooth
As you’re draining my energy

Crawling, Lying, Falling, I’m Dying
I’m trying to find a way out of this maze

Never thought that this would be killing me, ever so easily
Never thought that I would be bleeding emotions I needed to feel
Just like a flaring sun in oblivion, so free
And I’m giving in to my adrenalin

Crawling, Lying, Falling, I’m dying
Crawling, Lying, Falling, I’m dying

Salt on my skin
And it seems
That I’m losing my mind to you
Lost from within
And I scream
But there’s no one I’m screaming to
No there’s no one I’m screaming to
There is no one I’m screaming to


Well, It is not end of the world at least....but why always....this is like one of my 7th Wounder.....but never mind....maybe thats the way it should be.........

Nothing to Lose

Now Now Now......last a few days my blog has truned into "My Life Story Blog"......However.....after i talked with my friends, i actually agree with what they said to me. "You have got nothing to Lose....so why do u need to sceared??". That is actually true.
If the thing is gonna works, then it works. If the thing is not gonna work, then its not work. How simple is that?. Nothing much really need to worry about.

Anyway....Once Again...I really Need to Mention About these guys.



There guys make most "Emotional" Electronic music than any other artists. Well...i dont really like using "Emotional" but.....It is....

Some Music which are showing my heart and emotion at the morment...

Now, the ohter one...well its no lyric with this one....but its just great track.



"Idiots" by James Holden

This track is not really for everybody. It will be either, u love it or hate it. For me....i love this track because it shounds just exactlly how i am at the morment. It is a very very Dark and Depressing but...really....If i am "Sad" I am "Sad"....no more than that. What is the point i listen Happy Music while i am Sad...there is no point and that doesnt help me at all. On the other hand track like this, makes me really Sad and Depressing but I really can understand and agree with the sounds....Its like Lyrics in the Sounds.....and this track is telling me that...."I know and understand ur pain....". I am rely on this track.....

Now! My Life Story!!! If you not interested....please dont read it....but today is really my life story....

I am Wondering......Why Always Think Too Much!!
Now, its not always but....when i have some problems which i cant solve and i cant do anything with it. I cant forget about it and moving on.....I just always keep thinking thinking thinking thinking and Thinking while i actually know there is nothing i can do and should do...

My heart is saying that i still should and chould try a bit more....
My Brain is saying....Just forget it about it....u tried enough......

There is always difference between What Brain Says and Heart Says...

Brain is always saying most realistic, logical and safe things and answers....
Heart is always saying most honest, truth and my feeling......

Which one i should chose this time?? i know i should just chose and i thought i choose what my Brain Says....but......My Heart is saying totally opposite....

I went to Visit Laurie's Studio in Elsternwick today.






This is the Drawing Laurie just almost finished....Its Cool Hey?



I was talking with Laurie and i really suprised that he started drawing when he was 30 years old. I thought Drawing and those kinds of arts must learned since really young like 5,6 years old.....but It is actually not!!

Laurie was saying that "Its Just Matter how much you Practice, More You Practice, More You get Better." I really agree with that.

I beleive that there are two types of people with "Art".

1, People who is extremly "Talented"

2, People who practice really really really hard.

I am always "Practice Practice Practice" Person.....

　　　Kilowatts and Vanek "Conviction"

Conviction Sample

Now, some people might already know that Kilowatts and Vanek were my Artist of the Year 2007. I was listening one of their song today and i really can agree, understand and feel the lyric of this song. It eactlly same with my feeling at the morment.

But Really These guys are awesome!!!

"Conviction"


"Should’ve known that this wouldn’t last
Should’ve known what to do
Got to figure out a way to survive
And how to stay away from you

You pull me in you push me over
Never thought of holding on
Convinced of all the things I wished for
Now all those things are gone

Oooh, sweet conviction, of my wandering ghost
Oooh, cruel restriction, to lose the one I want most
To lose the one I want most

Should’ve known of the burdens
Attraction hides so well
Feel the sting of disillusion
And how you’re dragging me to hell

I need to make a new connection
Find a new place to begin
I have to make it on my own
Into a world I’ve never been

Oooh, sweet conviction, of my wandering ghost
Oooh, cruel restriction, to lose the one I want most
To lose the one I want most

So now I’m crawling away from you
I have no strength to get up
I think I’ll lay my head for a while
Until my heart just stops

And as I’m slowly fading
Relieved to disappear
You turn around, you change your mind
But I’ll still leave you here

Oooh, sweet conviction, of my wandering ghost
Oooh, cruel restriction, to lose the one I want most
Oooh, sweet conviction, of my wandering ghost
Oooh, cruel restriction, to lose the one I want most

Would You Like Some Chocolate?

I got a few useful softwares from Oliver today. They are not very easy to use it but it is useful for this blog so hopefully i can use it well soon.It is very useful tools for this blog too so my blog will be looks nicer one day....but till then it might be looks messy because i will try to use some of new trciks but i am not really sure how to use it 100%.....

I am Confused!!!"

"This Track is Deffnaly unable to play by Chessey DJs"

Thats what James Holden said about his track call "Idiot". The Reason why he said that was pretty easy because its a track 110bpm. There arent many tracks which goes around 110bpm.

After Work today, i played music for while as usual....and its a first time i played "Idiots" because i have tried a few times since i bought it last week but it never worked because normally i played around 120 - 125bpm.....but today i did pitch control pretty well....and managed to play that track and i am very happy with my-self that able to play that track.

Once again, i am not saying "I am very good dj" or anything. I am just saying that....."I am not a Chessey DJ". I think its ok to say that by now and the fact James Holden Admited that "Idiot" isnt track for Cheesy DJs.


"I LOVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC!!!!"

"Can You Do me a favour?? I think its better for u not to be on the decks if you Cant Even Do beat Mixing properly! Stick With your Day Time Job Mr DJ!!

I went to Crown for my friend's birthday.......and yeah....i mean, i like celebrating my friends birthday.....HOWEVER!!! I hate to see dj who is not as good as me. I mean i am not saying "I am really good". I am saying i hate to see dj who is worst than me!
because when i see good djs.....they always make me dance, not i try or want to dance. They just makes me dance. Thats what i love about party and music. When there is good music, i always love and enjoy it so much...but fuck........cant even beat mixing and act like they are the best djs in the world.....Come on!!! You have a good day time job....so just stick with that! Dont Use Music for worng purpose and in wrong way. I feel like i saw that the decks were crying.....because of the music they play. I know Crowd at there are doesnt give a shit about music at all.....however however! fuck..........i cant enjoy with shit like that!

Ah Well....should stop complaining....other wise its going for forever.....

"Music is More than Music For me!" by Bob Marley




Last Night I watched his videos and realised how much i love his music. I heard Bob Marley when i was 16 and i got so influenced by him. His songs have very strong messsages. Sometimes, about War, Sometimes Love, Sometimes about Religions. I realised once again where is Bob Seiji's Bob coming from.....Its From Bob Marley!. Yeah!!! My FIrst Point of Music was Bob Marley....I was almost forget about that these days....but thats true. Nevery Forget about First Point....In Japanese this is like


原点回帰

After Struggling what should i do in my life for months and months.....i can feel that answer is almost coming out.......i was almost forget about "Bob Marley"...but watched his video and listened his music again and there were so much messages. Almost....Almost.....Almost....I can feel that my Struggle gonna finish sooner than later!

Thank you Bob .....U teached me something......

I WANT A NEW MIXER


Now, the time has come! I gonna start saving money for a new mixer. There are 2 mixer i have in my miind.

1,

2,

I actually preffar 1st one because its Vestax(Japanese Brand). I dont know why but i trust Japanese Brand for electronics stuffs..i am sure everyone is the same with that. Sony, Panasonic etc. However, 2nd one has a very good feature. They have a MIDI device...so that means if i get trakotor or ableton......i dont need to get an another mixer for that....thats is a very good feature..
I will go and try 2nd one this week-end so see how i go with that....i am wonder how sharp the cross fadder is.....

　　　Respect to Stephan Lack

Today, Stephan is leaving Australia.

I met him at my work. First Impression of him was "Wow....He Looks really Full on..." well, which he is and one day before starting work at changing room, he told me, "I went to da party last night and was really good" on and on....and later i found he went to Digital Music Festival to see James Holden and Joris Voorn, too. Since then i was like "Shit!! I finally found a Chef who can talk about same music". I Gaved him many cds and he gave me some too which i really like. The Reason why I know "The Knife" is because of him.

Music is a very very big part of my life. I Can Say that "I cant live without Music." Even A few Days.....

Anyway, Stephan left Melbourne and gone to Thailand.....so i thought thats it......However! He Came Back!!

Since he came back, we had a bit of party together and on and on....and decided to go to Carl Cox together which we did. I am very glad that we went to da party together. Thats great.....because me, Stephan and Oliver, all of us have a similar taste with music and had a fun together....

Since he came back from Thailand...i asked him a lot about Cooking. I mean not like, How to Make a Dish....more like psychological things....Where is he getting his inspiraitions from and all. Not many Chefs answered those questions as clear as Stephan did. Thats made me a big respect to Stephan. He is a Great Chef and Great Guy.

I made him a cd for his going away. I hope he likes it. I mean, there were a few problems with recordings because of my really sick mixer...i really need to do something with my mixer. I am thinking to buy new one...But Anyway, i am happy with my cd. I beleive that i puted a lot of efforts and meaning with each tracks. Oliver met Stephan and they were having good conversaitions, so i decided to ask Art Work to Oliver and He did a Great Job!!! When i Showed this cd....Everyone was" Did u did it?? Thats so cool....Wow....." Oliver is really one of my Favourite artist. Not only just because he is my best friend. Everytime he draw something, its always good and i really like it. Big Thanks to Oliver!!!

Now, from my point of view Stephan is an artist too because he really makes a nice dish and its always something i never seen and He always trying to Imrove and step up.

Oliver is good example of an artist too.

What About Me!...............Still dont know what to do. but one day. I hope when i see Stephan next time, i am being Passionate with my job and always trying to improve.........like i used to when i was playing music....

Bye Bye Stephan!Good Lack!!, All The Best!! and See You Again!!!"

NYE AND NYD.

New Years Eve.

Simon and Selinda Came Over For Dinner. Simon Took Phots when i was cooking, and it came out alright so here is the photo.


I Went to Vic Market for first time since i move in this apartment. I always like go to Vic Market because its cheap and atmosphere of market is always good. I bought Fish and Veges. I am very happy that Simon and Selinda Liked it.
However.....Cokking is something i want to keep it as a "Hobby" Not as a job. Too Much Other Things Involve for just cook a meal in the work place. I like cooking but, its just like a hobby. I like go to get some fresh ingredients from market, Invite my good friends, cooking.....I really like doing that....but thats all i want from Cooking. Not Like, Ordering, Prep List and on and on...Thats why i always have been refusing to do those at work.

Anyway, Thats Great we watched Fire Works From Balcony. No Need to go to Crowded City. Just Staying Home with friends and watch fire works......
