Fucking Orthomyxoviridae, and later, A Fan Rant of The Similarity between Asai Kenichi and Bob Dylan


I was down with flu for past few days..still had a running nose, maybe walking instead of running now but still bloody annoying. Maybe its the rainy nights, maybe its the dusts in my room..but i'm just saying you should blame them for the lack of post a'ight.


So a quick update from Asai Kenichi and Chiba Yusuke then. They were both-according to a quick glance on their website Sexy Stones Record and Rockin' Blues.com, respectively- pretty busy with tours promoting their latest album, as one could expect. However Asai Kenichi also just released his first 'children picture book' called Lets Study..

' Roulee & His Father's Short Story
For Children All of The World '




Some of them arts by Asai Kenichi..


 



 I remembered that story of how Asai Kenichi got into these artsy stuff, y'know the painting and guitar, when he is bedridden for almost a year after his motorcycle accident..I assume in his wild bosozoku days. 

Yeah, another point of similarity here I noted, between Asai Kenichi and the great Bob Dylan - the motorcycle accident. Though maybe of the different extreme here I guess; Benzie's accident is his starting point, while Dylan's 'alleged' accident... in a way, marked the end of his golden age. Dylan himself admitted this, saying that he had lost 'something' in that accident, in his songwriting faculty...saying again that afterward he 'need to consciously trying to achieve what he could done unconsciously before', or something to that effect. 


And Dylan also dabbled in painting stuff, and these here are some of them arts by Dylan;








Both are also known to enjoy manly bikes..




I always wished of getting one of these kind of bikes. They are abso-fucking-lutely gorgeous machines. I dont know why don't more people ride them. Most of the modern motorcycle design nowadays are drop dead fugly, with not even a shred of class or decency in it. For example, here in Malaysia the most popular 'big' bike is this pile of dog shit here;

of douchebaggery in Malaysia

Well back to Benzie and Dylan. I found them both also kinda lookalike- like some of their their facial feature and those curly hairs-but this maybe the hallucination of an obsessed fan though.

Bob Dylan X Tom Waits


"Theme Time Radio Hour (TTRH) was a weekly, one-hour satellite radio show hosted by Bob Dylan originally airing from May 2006 to April 2009. Each episode was an eclectic, freeform mix of blues, folk, rockabilly, R&B, soul, bebop, rock-and-roll, country and pop music, centered around a theme such as "Weather," "Money," and "Flowers" with songs from artists as diverse as Patti Page and LL Cool J. Much of the material for the show's 100 episodes was culled from producer Eddie Gorodetsky's music collection, which reportedly includes more than 10,000 records and more than 140,000 digital files."wiki

             So this is 5 little sections of the show featuring Tom Waits.

Bob Dylan - 1966 World Tour: The Home Movies


"Rare footage of the World Tour where Dylan traded in his acoustic guitar for an electric sound. With a set of drums and an 8mm color home movie camera, Mickey Jones toured the world in 1966 with Bob Dylan and The Band. He filmed 'The tour that changed Rock and Roll forever' and the booing crowds, scathing reviews, stomping feet, and infamous catcall of 'Judas!' in response to Dylan trading in his acoustic folk guitar for an electric. Now, drummer-turned-actor Mickey Jones, with Director Joel Gilbert, chronicles the legendary 1966 Bob Dylan World Tour through his recently discovered home movies. This updated release includes new, exclusive interviews with Charlie Daniels, Johnny Rivers, Trini Lopez, soundman Richard Alderson, and new insights by Mickey Jones."





 Honestly didnt have the time to watch this yet, but i'm gonna assume this is fuckin awesome. I cant find the downloadable version anywhere, so if you want to download it use one of the many, many software designed to rip youtube videos. I personally prefer Orbit downloader on my Firefox.

*Kinda a bit meh actually. Most of the time this Mickey Jones will tell the stories behind the tour, accompanied by a moving pictures that, sometimes, had Bob Dylan in it. So I think this one maybe suit for hardcore, completionist, fans of Bob Dylan, rather than for new fans.

Rockin Blues'd- Greatest Song Ever Written(For me At Least)

After about 5 minutes of arguing and discussing, my brain and i had come to this conclusion. There is no real contender for this song actually, i had fell in love with it within its first verse. The imagery in it, the emotions, the little stories, the subtle humors, the pure musics-god i cant hide how much i envy this guy. It seems that he is blessed with a muse made out of pure gold, that shone angelic light to whatever he think and see. And my muse is the ghost of an old witch that swears a lot and fart all the time.

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place

Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
How can I explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

Lesson E11even: A day without learning anything new is another day wasted.


Gua dah lame sebenarnye dgr name Bob Dylan. Tapi sbb cred die cam lagu2 folk/country lame2, cam rase xtertarik r plak. Tp pas tgok citer Watchmen ari tuh..soundtrack intro die je,Times they are a-changing, dah wat gua speechles. lagu simple giler tp mmg fuckin powerful..Pas wat research sket baru aku tau mamat jew ni mmg legend besor kt US. Jimi hendrix pon cover 1 lagu die(All along the watchtower) tp mmg dihendrixkan giler r lagu tu. Kalo Jimi pon dah recognize mamat ni, sapelah aku utk argue about that. Baru perasan, dlm gambar nie muke die cam Roscharh dowh.



cibai dorg xkasi embed..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2hNhM3dHB4

so i present mr Bob Dylan himself:



"The times they are a-changin"

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
