Jack Daniel's mengundang saya untuk meliput konser Good Charlotte di Singapura sekaligus untuk bersenang-senang sambil menikmati suplai tanpa batas whiskey nan asoi. Hari itu tanggal 18 November 2011 dimulai dengan melakukan sesi wawancara; dimana saya mendengar salah satu dari Madden bersaudara menyebutkan kalau ia ingin berkolaborasi dengan John Strummer andai kata tokoh legendaris itu masih hidup. Saat ditanya apa bentuk kolaborasi yang dibayangkannya, setelah berguman-guman ia mengatakan mau bikin apa saja dia udah senang. Setelah sesi interview dan sesi makan malam yang nikmat ditemani segelas Jack D Coke dingin , saya dan teman-teman wartawan Indonesia yang seru-seru [...]

The news that One Direction's management have shoved their hapless noisesacks off in a "rock" direction is amusing enough in its own right: ONE Direction are gaining a reputation as hellraisers so its no surprise they're working with a US punk-pop svengali. Some of the lads' new material has a rock influence inspired by American producer and writer Matt Squire. It gets better though. Squire has worked with Good Charlotte, and they're "punk" (in the way that McDonalds is a "restaurant"), and so Gordon has decided that... well, this will be the result: [...]

Sure, it's not even July yet, but we already assumed that Zooey Deschanel would leave 2011 with the award for "Most Appropriate And Thus Amazing Choice For A Soundtrack". That was, however, until Disney went ahead and announced Muppets: The Green Album (via Pitchfork ), an accompanying soundtrack for the Jason Segel-written The Muppets movie . Featuring the likes of My Morning Jacket, Weezer, OK Go, Andrew Bird, Sondre Lerche, and more covering classic Muppets songs, no amount of cuteness can save Winnie the Pooh now. [...]

Now for the third and finally aspect of a great night cruise mix. This is the part i love the most. These are the songs i basically have planned out a year in advance. The songs for the quite ride home. When you've decided it's time to head back in and call it a night. Any conversations at this point will have meaning and depth...real. Never underestimate the importance of songs that you internalize immediately (see big red marbles' "make that call" from my This playlist is better than most relationships i\'ve been in post i put up back [...]

Ok so before i even attempt to review this album, its clear I'm going to piss some people off. YouTube is packed with the 'OFWGKTA' fan boys who post 'swag' and 'fuck Steve Harvey' on everything in sight. Any faint criticism leveled at the group (like their not the new Wu-Tang or Earl is no Nas) will result in an overload of Wolf Gang hysterics. On the opposite side theres the people who don't get it, the fans who in their own words cant vibe to 'emotional gothic rap'. If i point out the artistic merit of "Yonkers" it will be [...]

Today's take me back before music made me pretentious moment comes from the summer of 2003. I realize before even making this list that it will bring obvious flaws in my taste of music to light which is something i'm fine with. My entire premise behind heycoolkid! has always been to present music that may or may not be "scene" enough for other blogs and at the same time bring attention to the music that i love and wish others would as well. ("others" meaning people whose opinions i actually care about, i'm pretty sure those people do exist, god [...]
