The Trend Of Using Eyeglasses

Worn eyeglasses could be as trend nowadays. Take a look when last Indonesian Idol show are booming, coupled months ago. You will remember with one of the contestant from Jogjakarta, named Adji. Yeah the curly, black, and funny guy which is always using eyeglasses. Until all his fans do the same thing, using big frames of eyeglasses too, as their identity of Adji fan's. Every week, I saw it, I'm always laugh. That's why it's still remind in my minds. Also there is still another names in my m

Wine, Women and Song

On October 9, I attended a private preview for the Edun temporary shop at the very hip Azalea boutique in Hayes Valley, SF, hosted by Ali Hewsom and Leigh Matthes. Ali is, of course, U2 Lead Singer Bono’s wife and the designer and founder of Edun, a line of fair trade clothes for men and women. Ali, dressed in an indigo blue cropped jacket, was an advertisement for eco-friendly living as this mother of four children aged 7 to 19 has an ivory girl complexion and does not look a day over 30.

I am a Republican. I support Africa. Not the Starvation of Hope.

The holidays are approaching.  Everyone is creating their naughty and nice lists.  Next Friday, the day after we celebrate Thanksgiving, Americans will hit the malls and big box retailers to buy iPods and clothes, DVDs and stuffed animals, for loved ones and the Secret Santa exchanges and our children.  Some see it as a secular holiday, others celebrate the holiday in a religious context. We are a lucky people. By the accident of our birth in this great nation, hope of a better future is always

Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy” Review

[by Chris DeLine] “Chinese Democracy” opens with a shrieking Axl Rose whose voice overwhelms a surprisingly sharp rhythm section. The song ignites the near-mythological album, also tossing aside any preconceived notion of what Chinese Democracy should sound like. But at this point in time, any interested listener has had access to various bits and pieces of the album for not simply weeks, but years - questioning not why it has taken 17 years to release a follow up to the brilliant Use Your I

Missing Anyone?

“We need the women of the world to come looking for us, we need that hope that someone would come looking for us when we’re missing.” The room was silent.  It was one week after 9-11, and along with 10, 000 other women who had gathered at the Global Celebration for Women in Houston, I watched this video clip of an Afghan woman pleading with the women of the world to take action.  At that moment, I couldn’t help but wonder: Had I truly gone looking for these women when they were missing?  Or di

New U2 photographs online

The Guardian has published a gallery of previously unseen U2 photographs. The pictures are taken from a book, U2 A Diary by Matt McGee, published last month. I can't say the pics are anything special, but the caption-writer deserves an award. Tongue-in-cheek doesn't even come close.

All about the Wordplay

Back in 2003, Vice Admiral Timothy J. Keating, Commander of the American Fifth Fleet stood in front of the crew of the USS Constellation and warned them that the President was about to order the first strike of the Iraq war. Of course, being American - and clearly aware he was also standing in front of a bank of TV camera, Keating didn’t use those words. Instead what he said was this… “When the President says ‘go’… it’s hammer time.” No, really… Unfortunately almost no news organisation

Robyn Hitchcock dreams at Hazlet (11/17)

In 1984, British singer/songwriter Robyn Hitchcock emerged from a self-imposed hiatus to record and release perhaps his finest solo record, I Often Dream of Trains, a strange hodgepodge of stripped-down, surrealist songs dreamlike in quality: haunting and obscure one moment and brash and vivid the next—paralytic while kinetic. While Trains, which Hitchcock refers to as “home really, the place I come from,” might have been out of place among mid-eighties rock—think Prince, Springsteen, and U2—th

Beautiful things

Sometimes when my sensitivity to the terrible things happening in the world around me becomes too much, I sink into an emotional lull that finds me eating the candy cane creme centers out of a box of Joe Joe’s cookies then promptly falling asleep on the couch in front of a House rerun. I forget to write poetry, think, suddenly, art is a luxury rather than a core part of human nature. I spend too much time on the Internet looking for jobs that don’t exist, and daydreaming my plans of escape: winn

What's your favorite Pandora station?

After using it for a couple of months, I can now say that the Pandora radio app is one of the most used items on my iPhone. Pandora, along with Shazam, has really helped me get my iPhone groove on. It's a great way to listen to exactly what you're in the mood for, and also to discover some new artists. Here are a couple of favorite stations I've come across: Corey Smith - something about Corey puts him in the perfect place with Pandora. You get Corey, John Mayer, Train, Live, and even some

Jon Hamm Knows Better Than to Snort Flaming Dead Elephants

“I see actors in this town who make it big young. They don’t understand the word no: ‘What do you mean I can’t kill this elephant, drop it on a car, set it on fire, and then snort it?’ Well, you just can’t.” —Jon Hamm [GQ] "Bono took me under his wing and he believed in me. When I made my protest over not getting an award at the MTV Awards a couple of years ago, and nobody wanted to hear anything from me afterwards, Bono and U2 stood by me." —Kanye West [WENN via Starpulse] "The very simple

Wilderness - 2008 Tour Dates, a Biennial album, an MP3

DOWNLOAD: Wilderness - Strand the Test of Time (MP3) Wilderness's new record (k)no(w)here was released by Jagjaguwar on Nov 4th.Written for a performance at this year's Whitney Biennial, this obnoxiously titled release continues Wilderness's exploration of icy post-punk that falls tonally between PiL and U2. Guitarist Colin McCann uses delay and echo to create repetitions similar to those of the Edge and Keith Levene; the slowly shifting harmonies from Brian Gossman's calm bass gives those r

Bono Calls Tom Jones 'Sugar Daddy'

Bono Calls Tom Jones 'Sugar Daddy'It would seem that everyone is a Tom Jones fan, including two Irish gentlemen best known as Bono and the Edge. To that end, U2's lead singer and guitarist wrote the song 'Sugar Daddy,' featured on Jones' first new U.S. album in 15 years, especially for the Welsh superstar, which also finds the Edge playing on the track. Although Jones says he immediately loved the song, he was a little concerned with the title. "I said, 'Is that what you think of me?'" Jones t

Chris Martin Hints At Coldplay Split?

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has implied that the end of Coldplay could be on the cards sooner than fans think. NME reports (via the Daily Express) that Martin said: “I’m 31 now and I don’t think that bands should keep going past 33. So we’re trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we’ll just go for it in every sense. I don’t believe in time off. We’ve still got most of our hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we’ve got to make the most of tha
