“Walking is, in addition to being a healthy endeavor, also an effective means of travel,” writes Tama Salim. He is convinced that, if given the chance, Jakarta can be a pedestrian-friendly city. In the second part of his essay series on walking, Tama sets out to debunk the myth that the residents of Jakarta are reluctant walkers.
Despite the pervasiveness of music in our daily lives, last night's discussion proved that there music is made up of multiple layers. In order to understand music, knowing what or who we enjoy listening to is not enough. Below are some of the points that were brought up during last night's discussion: - Because music is so difficult to describe, the most important thing is often our reactions. Those reactions are the most crucial part of music. - The musical experience – that is, our listening habits – are mood-based. It is usually the case that we look for songs that would intensify our emotions at the time. Music, in a way, amplifies and perhaps even justifies our feelings. - Instrumental music vs. songs: both songs evoke different feelings and reactions. The former often conjures impressions whereas the latter produce a clear image/narration. - On the social significance of music: we typically listen to music that we can relate to. Music does not only affect a person on an individual level, but also at a more collective and cultural level. , for instance, usually includes lyrics that tell the story of a person’s life in a given socio-economic context. - Stereotypes affect how we listen to music, and whose music we listen to. - Our appreciation towards music is often related to time. This is perhaps why the idea of a “generation” is very strong in the context of music. People who have gone through similar social experiences are more likely to relate to the music produced during a particular era. - DJing is both active and passive since the DJ plays as s/he listens to the music. - On sampling and originality: sampling is not a second-rate pursuit in music as it involves the active selection of existing material to create something new. - It is difficult to separate music and the creators (though sometimes it depends on the genre). - Music is first and foremost a form of entertainment; the message can come later (once the listener has familiarized his/herself with the music). - Music is intrusive. It is not like text, a medium that allows people to choose their involvement with it. - In live performances, musicians can get direct feedback from the audience. It is possible to have an interaction. - In addition to the romance associated with the physicality of vinyl records, they are useful for documentary purposes whereas digital files that are distributed through the Internet increase the accessibility of music (by an audience that will most likely consists of diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds). In short, each medium or “vessel” has its own purpose. One can’t simply say that one medium is more superior to the other. - Technological advancement opens doors to new ways of understanding and appreciating music (e.g. smartphone apps that help users experience a song in an innovative way). And the more our old and current mindsets adjust to the development of technology, the more ways we’ll create to make and share music. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated, so please feel free to tweet us @wjournal or send us an e-mail to with the subject title “We Discuss #8.” We would like to thank those who came and contributed to the discussion. We hope to see you again at next month’s session! Look out for announcements and related updates on next discussion. Check our website, Facebook page, as well as our Twitter and Instagram accounts!
We managed to catch up with the legendary Indonesian humor band, Orkes Moral Pengantar Minum Racun (Music to Drink Poison To) or best known as OM PMR, before a practice session at Homie Studio in Tangerang. In existence since 1979, the band is enjoying a renewed existence and gearing up for a new album. They sat down with Whiteboard Journal and talked about their history, their take on music, and what makes them so special.
This one is a bit of a nostalgic trip for me. As I was compiling this episode of Stereo Strange I put The Bouncing Souls "Say Anything" on and decided to scrap the other songs that were in the mix and build a compilation around the song. In high school (hence the name) I listened to a whole lot of punk, hardcore, & ska, and what you have here are perhaps the most melodic of the bunch. The songs here are basically jams that I listened to relax. Listening to them now, they're quite energetic, arent they? Click play and take a trip down my memory lane with this mix! 01. No Use For A Name - Fatal Flu 02. Descendents - Silly Girl 03. All - Silly Me 04. Skankin Pickle - Gas in My Car 05. Assorted Jelly Beans - Braindead 06. The Bouncing Souls - Say Anything 07. Funeral Oration - Do You Feel It 08. Lagwagon - Kids Don't Like to Share 09. Dance Hall Crashers - Lost Again 10. NOFX - Linoleum 11. Digger - Nightlife 12. Suicide Machines - Our Time 13. Tilt - Libel 14. Bad Religion - Cease 15. Rancid - Ruby Soho
Blogging continues to be one of the most popular venues to distribute information. Whether talking about fashion, technology, food, or simply ranting about random things, blogging is an avenue designed for individuals to freely express their thoughts. Acknowledging the freedom and influence of blogosphere, Zocko empower individuals by creating a monetizing system that is based on the blogger’s individual taste. A very well received medium in Indonesia, many individuals have become quite popular through the blogosphere. A few examples - Diana Rikasari’s “Chocolate and Mint” has become a destination for young Indonesians to look for everything from fashion to home decor, Jenz Corner offers a visually enticing narrative of its author’s culinary travels. Though perhaps uncommon, international blog superstars such as the Facehunter even gets flown worldwide to cover various fashion events due to his undeniably unique and tasteful approach to fashion photography. A good blog is run by persons/groups whose taste you trust, and their posts inadvertently become recommendations you adapt to your own life. It’s no surprise that in the blogosphere, the trusted/popular sites are able to make a decent income off it. Whether it is advertisement, product placements, or advertorials, the blogs popularity and influence are undebatable. As mentioned above, Zocko (a website combining social media, e-commerce, and social influence) offers an alternative avenue to monetize the blogs. By using its concept of influencers and product selection, bloggers can pick and choose products they would like to recommend on their websites, and via a Zocko encoded link, can make money whenever a reader purchases a product. What does this mean? Bloggers have full control over their content and are able to monetize off it. It is an empowering tool by Zocko, one that offers an easy, innovative means to earn from doing what you love. Recommended for bloggers from all walks of life.
