R.I.P-The White Stripes

The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live.

The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health.

It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.

Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given through the 13 plus years of The White Stripes' intense and incredible career.

Third Man Record will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault subscription record club, as well as through regular channels.

Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn't met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who've shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly.

With that in mind the band have this to say:

"The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful."

Sincerely,
Meg and Jack White
The White Stripes

Aint that just fucked up?

Pontiacs-Brand New Cadillac

 My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
She said, "Hey, come here, Daddy!"
"I ain't never comin' back!"

Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
C'mon, sugar, just come on back to me
She said, "Balls to you, Big Daddy."
She ain't never coming back!

Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
Oh c'mon, just hear my plea
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't coming back to me

Baby, baby drove up in a Cadillac
I said, "Jesus Christ! Where'd you get that cadillac?"
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't never coming back!

Pontiacs playing old The Clash classic..damn Osiris that looks fun. Pretty rare video too, I mean for Benzie to cover someone else..and for Terui to use the mic other than his occasional 'warcry' in BJC. You can tell the crowd's surprised reaction when he started singing. Pretty sweet..next he's just gotta lose that stupid beret and stop hiding all that awesome inks on his body..

..video's quality is kinda low though..

Wish I had a gun..

Stupid laptop broke down on me..again.. its that same resource conflict, PCI error shit I had for a while. Although before it takes 4-5 try to start it, yesterday I had spent the whole day switching on/manually restart that piece of junk just to see that windows XP startup screen, that stupid bar with 3 blue lines in it, going left to right.....for FUCKING ETERNITY! 

 This shit had happened before, 4-5 months back but went miraculously fine the next day. I think its fucked up for real now. Hardware problem, no doubt about it. 5 years of daily abuse could do that to any laptop i guess. Damn..5 gadget years, i bet if you try to convert it, must be equivalent to at least 50 human years-you know,with the hourly updates of new technologies and hardwares and stuff. Even human dont evolve as fast as that. Sometime I cant help but imagined in year 2080 a metallic hobo, with rust all over his face and faulty mechanisms behind his beat up rag, drinking cheap, secondhand oil in some dark alley somewhere and whistling Tom Waits tune.

Tom Waits tune are immortal-its a well known rumor, dont you know?

...looking back, that old soldier had accompanied me through a lot. All that countless, bloody missions to save the world and the much dreaded 'Game Over, Continue?' screen, all that First Bloods and mmmmmonster kills, all that movies and mangas and Javs, all that Guitar Pros and mp3s and PDFs..thank osiris i saved them all in my HDD.

Though the impulse to use that laptop as a karate practice board is as strong as this mad desire to frisbee it onto this nearby river and see how many time i can make it bounce, i must refrain with sronger mental control backed by pure logical reasoning. I cant afford a new laptop now, my pocket is filled with a negative figure so big its almost a black hole. The only option left is begging my parent for a new one while hoping a miracle the laptop would resurrect itself again like that one time.
But could a miracle happen twice?


Edit: Its final. The laptop is...dead. At least I had the satisfaction of killing it my damn self. You should had seen all that blood..hehehe..Jack the Ripper would be proud, man

Fish Story

“Fish Story” centre around a rock band from 1975 who decide to break up having had no success, they record one last song before the band splits up. Decades later that song will have a profound effect on peoples lives, eventually becoming the savior of the world."


After reading that little summary I knew I got to watch this movie. 112 wonderful minutes later- and one of the most brilliant ending I ever watched- I was smiling so hard my face hurts. It is one of those movies that after you watched it, your soul wont rest peacefully until you tell someone, or the worst case event, force someone, to watch it.

In a nutshell, it is a story of the last song of a proto-punk band that disbanded in 1975(a year before Sex Pistols-mania) and how it started a chain of event involving an urban legend, a champion of justice, a band of mad preachers, Nostradamus prophecies, badly translated novel and saving the world from Mayan's 2012 theories.

The aforementioned song, also titled 'Fish Story', is quite good. It was written by Kazuyoshi Saito and performed by the actors playing the band.

Fish Story

The story of my solitude
If my solitude were a fish
It'd be so enormous, so militant
A whale would get out of there
I know it would
I'm sure it would

The story of my solitude
If my solitude were a fish
It'd be so enormous, so militant
A whale would get out of there

Don't assume that I'm dead
Don't assume that I'm dead
Music stacked up like wooden blocks
Is the only salvation

The story of my failure
If my failure were a fish
It'd be so tragically comic
I'd have no place in the sea to be

Don't you know you're a liar!
Don't you know you're a deceiver!
Music stacked up like wooden blocks
Is the champion of justice!

If my justice really were a fish
It'd be so greedy and arrogant
I'd pump the magma
Out of the ocean bed!

The story of my solitude
If my solitude were a fish
It'd be so enormous, so militant
A whale would get out of there.

I had been hunting for the OST with no success but you could download the mp3 from the youtube video. The download link for the movie..I'm gonna introduce you guys to this site I like.
