Di dalam program “Things We Like”, kami mengumpulkan hal-hal yang sedang disukai oleh tim Whiteboard Journal berikut alasannya. Dari dokumenter tentang sutradara ikonik, set Tiny Desk energetik, hingga mix yang santai untuk commuting, berikut adalah “Things We Like” dari minggu keempat Juni.

What:

The Naked Director

Description:

Sampai sekarang belum nonton “Narcos”. Sebenarnya paham kalau biopic Pablo Escobar ini pasti bagus, karena semua teman yang nonton bilang begitu, cuma belum pengen nonton aja sampai sekarang. Tapi lain hal untuk biopic yang satu ini, saat nonton trailernya aja langsung nungguin banget. Berpusat di kehidupan Toru Muranishi, “The Naked Director” akan membawa kita pada perjalanan salah satu sosok paling berpengaruh di industri AV video di Jepang. Berangkat sebagai lelaki gagal yang diselingkuhi istrinya karena tak prima di ranjang, ia kemudian mengejutkan dunia dengan video porno bikinannya yang membelalakkan mata, bahkan bagi mereka yang hidup di ambang batas sekalipun. Di wikipedia diceritakan kalau dia pernah pergi ke Hawaii untuk shooting 30 film bokep selama 30 hari, gile nggak tuh? Yah, abis gitu ditangkap polisi sih, cuma bayangin aja ceritanya bisa seseru apa.

H.A.N.D. MIX 002 – Dea Barandana

Description:

Hari minggu kemarin ada acara Studiorama x NTS dan ada Dea. Karena masih sisa santai-santai dari set dia dan gue Shazam beberapa lagunya kemarin, jadi mau dengar set lebih panjang. Alhasil browse Soundcloud dan mix ini yang pertama gue klik karena cover-nya. 

Enak untuk commuting!

Idles: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Description:

“Just about the loudest, most fun and most raucous Tiny Desk Concert in memory,” described Bob Boilen on IDLES’ Tiny Desk session – and I fully agree.

What:

Thirteen Mini-Series

Description:

So, this show tells the story of Ivy Moxam, a kidnapping victim who escaped her captor after 13 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jodie Comer was considered as Villanelle because of her performance as this character. There are moments when you see how Ivy’s childlikeness translates to Villanelle. Although all seems well and good, not everything is as it seems. Especially when you find out that apparently, she was allowed out of the house, left alone, but willingly came back to her captor. Why? Just watch.

What: 

Yebba – Evergreen

Description: 

Last week, I spent nearly my entire drive home replaying this song over and over again. Yebba’s voice, the sparse musical arrangement, the gospel flavors, I mean… *chills*. When the choir crooned, “Oh I can’t see the forest for the trees / Will you wait for me / My evergreen”, my bones kinda gave in a little.

According to the omniscient source of knowledge that is the Youtube Comment Section, Yebba changed her name from Abbey after her mother passed away from suicide, right when she had just released her soon-to-be breakout performance. This song, “Evergreen” is sort of an homage to her mom. I wish her the best, I hope she continues to do well, and I like the overalls she wears.
