EDGE The Movie

Posted in Interesting, Movie/Docus, New release on October 22, 2009 by Asparagus Alfalfa

edgethemovie_poster_800

Hello peeps!

Just wanna share a new documentary by not one, but TWO sociologists (sikit bangga atas alasan saya sendiri) about the straightedge lifestyle culture. I know it would appeal to some of you out there. Personally, I drink and I smoke but I have no problem with people who wants to live a positive life. We are all entitled to the life of our own choosing anyway. No one should impose what their values on others, if you ask me. Dokumentari ini nampak gaya tak akan ditayangkan di sini. So wait for the Rapidshare or Torrent to be available. Kalau saya jumpa dan anda tanya, saya akan beritahu.

For more info on the documentary: HERE.

And I love it when there is an effort like these for documentation- all the works being done by our local writers, photographers, bloggers, videoman/womyn, ‘zinesters. I think we all have our part to play in the scene and we do whatever we like and we could to contribute. Not only by being in a band that we are in the scene, right? I mean, that’s the whole meaning of a collective effort right? Especially in a small, sometimes ostracized scene.

So I would like to renew my invitation:

Kalau korang ada benda yang nak share, ada rilisan baru yang boleh (dan nak) di review, boleh forwardkan pada saya. Saya tak pandai nak mereview, tapi ada rakan-rakan baik saya yang sedia untuk memberi komen dan pendapat. You can contact me by leaving a message here, or email me at agentprovo@gmail.com. Ataupun ada projek-projek baru yang mahu di kongsi, gig-gig di bandar atau kampung anda. Tiada masalah. Asparagus Alfalfa sedia membantu.

Keep up the good work! Keep doing what you are doing. Keep on keeping on!

BTW, Peanut Distro akan mengeluarkan rilisan kompilasi beberapa band di Sabah. Ada 6-7 band kalau tak silap saya. GO check them out!!

Posted in Events, From the Kitchen on October 22, 2009 by Asparagus Alfalfa

Pisschrist flyer

The legendary Pisschrïst would be on tour in the Southeast Asia region! There will be two stops in Sabah, North Borneo – the two popular stop at Kota Kinabalu and Keningau (words around that it will be with Carburator Dung, but don’t quote me on that!) among the other stops at Indonesia, Phillipines and Singapore.  This is the pre-tour flyers of events that you can’t afford to miss! Brought to you by the good people at 7×0x7. The Sabah leg would be organised by H.A.T.I Records.

Stay tuned for more updates, if/when I get more news on this.

Krupskaya in Borneo?

Heads up from friends at Sabah.

Tour dates

Will update as soon as I get some news on this.

Meanwhile, checkout the band’s Myspace.

EDIT: Upon seeking for the band, I also found their website, where there are mp3 from this band to be downloaded for FREE. Heavy bullet-fast grind with political messages (well, at least in the name of the songs. The band is named after Lenin’s wife, mind you). Happy consuming!

Pengajaran dalam gambar ini: Pakailah topeng muka apabila berasak-asakan dengan individu lain di gig untuk mencegah perebakan H1N1. Cegah sebelum parah.

Ada banyak lagi gambar-gambar ganas dan kacak yang boleh ditangga di sini.

EDIT (13 Oct): Lebih banyak gambar di sini.

Download/Watch: Punkcast!

Posted in Downloads, Interesting, Videos on September 17, 2009 by Asparagus Alfalfa

punks-not-dead

Well, punkcast is a portmanteau from the word punk and podcast is basically a documentation effort of the underground NYC scene. And it’s available for downloads! A few that I like: it has Kimya Dawson of Moldy Peaches, Tiny Masters of Today, Yeah Yeah Yeahs- all live performances! I suspect this would be the breeding ground of the hip and upcoming ‘cool’ bands- Effi Briest, TV on the Radio, Art Brut, Love is All, Pedro the Lion, the oldskools- TV Smith and Attila the Stockbroker, The Exploited, The Adicts, The Business, GBH, UK Subs, The Libertines (not THAT old la) etc etc etc. It’s like a place where the old and the young meet and exchange notes. A nice place indeed.

Yes, yes, I am veeerrrryyyyy late in posting this.

But as we are going to celebrated our Independence/Hari Malaysia/whatever you wanna call it, I guess we, the young ones, owe ourselves an explanation or an alternative view on our own history. The film to be downloaded is 10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka, directed by Fahmi Reza. Watch it with an open mind, and judge for yourself. The kids at Sabah was lucky when they had the director went there and did a workshop for them, not that long ago.  Perhaps something could be done for Kuching, later later, we make some plans.

The movie is given out for free generously by the filmmaker and can be downloaded here:
