The 12th anniversary celebration of The Brandal is coming this December! Bringing up the concept of music festival, this Jakarta-based band is holding a music concert and art exhibition located in Rolling Stone Jakarta on the upcoming December 22nd . Not only will it showcase music and art, it will also expose the visitors the history of the band itself; the stories from their childhoods until when they decided to form the band.

Listening to Hightime Rebellion is allowing yourself to be trapped in music that will most likely make you want to sing along to. Pumped up and filled with great vocal and instruments harmony, Hightime Rebellion is featured in the 74th The Wknd Sessions!
Hightime Rebellion is a Jakarta-based band consisting of Miyane Soemitro (vocalist), Rendy Surndrapati (guitaris and vocalist) Reza Arafat(drummer), Pulung Wahyudi(guitarist) and Jason Sutrisno (bassist), they have admitted that they have varied music influences between each other. However, it's definitely not something that got in their way; they are, in fact, united them in making music. Sail, for example, is one of their song made out of their different influences.
They also mentioned that they are now creating a new house music project. Definitely looking forward to it! For now, check their three performances and interview here.
While mainstream media often fixate on how video game allow us to embody virtual avatars and live out fantasies, in reality many games present more guided stories starring characters with their own baggage and complex motivations. As we make our way through a game, overcoming obstacles along the way, we gradually are exposed to, and empathize with, a perspective that may be entirely different from our own.
2014 is only two weeks away, but that doesn’t mean there’s no time for a We Discuss session! On December 17, Whiteboard Journal, along with enthusiastic participants, talked about food. And some of the ideas that were exchanged during the discussion were indeed food for thought.
- Despite the invention of liquids that can give the human body the nutrients it needs, we still crave for food that we can bite and chew. It seems that texture, in addition to taste and nutritional value, is important.
- Processed vs. natural food
- We associate what we eat with certain shapes and smells.
- “Organic” and other keywords that are related to health are marketing tools that directly or indirectly affect the way we consume food.
- Although advertisements and the media in general can affect the public in negative ways (increased junk food consumption, etc.), they can also raise public awareness about healthy food.
- When scanning the ingredient labels of foods available at supermarkets, it’s crucial to know what one does not want in one’s food. In other words, educating one’s self about basic ingredients that ought to be avoided is each individual’s responsibility.
- Healthy foodstuff is normally more expensive than the standard, and most likely less healthy, option – meaning that it is only affordable to a limited group of people. Is it possible to produce food that contains nutritious elements at a lower price?
- Different cultures have different tolerance towards “expiry dates” – which can also be seen as a marketing tool.
- Cooking, like eating, is a social activity.
- The utensils we use to eat reflect our connection to food. For instance, using one’s hands to eat represents the intimacy that one has with one’s meal while using chopsticks or spoons sets a distance between the diner and the food.
- The foodie phenomenon on Instagram and other social media enhances the aesthetic appreciation that we have towards food.
- The sort of “food appreciation” that was mentioned in the previous point and “food criticism” normally take place at higher social classes – that is, people whose relationship with food already go beyond reasons for survival.
- Culturally speaking, different societies have different ways of appreciation food (e.g. the Japanese habit of slurping noodles)
