Heart Attack

Vol.15: Januar Kristianto

Holy crap, it's been like what? a year already? I seriously never thought of having my own music channel until Ken asked me to. Bear in my mind that I love doing this because I dig the whole music-sharing experience which stems from a personal satisfaction of exploring new stuff on daily basis, just like how much I love hearing what my contributors has to offer on their playlist. So from there, Heartattack is born with multiple clicks, endless noises, cuts and guts, the rest is pretty much history. The discovery factor within punk will always be one of so many key-defining factors on why it survives after all these time. Everytime I browse, or maybe talk to someone about it, I always find out more and more unknown bands or scenes which amazes me so much. But I guess that's the prime beauty of it, there's this some sort of mysterious quality embeeded in that particular world. The familiar feeling you can obtain when you discover rare books at the book fair or something, punk is and will always remain buried in the gutter, waiting to be found. In this 15th installment of Heartattack, I'll share to you some of my personal favorite tracks as well as new discoveries that I've made in the past couple weeks. I probably should stop talking, yeah I thought so. Enjoy! 01. Dawn of Humans - Mangled Puzzle 02. Soma Coma - Imperial Dick 03. Bloodkrow Butcher - Anti-War 04. Failures - Parents 05. Nomad - 戦い 06. Koro - Selfless 07. S.H.I.T. - A Look At Tomorrow (Discharge Cover) 08. Other Women - Workday 09. Lubricant - Vengeance 10. Crazy Spirit - They Sleep Easy 11. Poison Idea - Pure Hate 12. The Coneheads - 'Notha Thing 13. Nuclear Spring - Crisis 14. Raw Nerve - I'm A Cliché (X-Ray Spex Cover) 15. Detergents - Dark Days 16.

Music, Mood, and So What

In an attempt to expand his musical vocabulary, Ken Jenie has been learning music from a music school. With every new lessons he gains new knowledge and his Column pieces offer a few reflection on his musings. This time, he talks about the ability for music to convey certain moods, and that as a musician's vocabulary grows so does his/her's ability to express ideas.
