Masalah Berganda

Sebab blog kali ni berkaitan dengan konsert artis Melayu tempatan, aku rasa baik guna saja bahasa Melayu. Tapi agak janggal kalau tulis secara baku. Aku bukan nak buat laporan kat surat khabar Utusan pun. Segalanya bermula beberapa minggu lepas selepas aku perasan kat surat khabar ada iklan pasal konsert Double Trouble, gabungan dua legenda rock tempatan Search dan Wings.

Gua beli tiket ni, beb

Gua beli tiket ni, beb

Walaupun aku ni boleh dikategorikan sebagai otaku tempatan, tapi aku tetap minat lagu-lagu rock macam ni gak. Nak bandingkan dengan lagu-lagu tahyul melayu zaman sekarang, memang cam taik. Ada la jugak yang mampu menerjah ke dalam saluran telinga aku sambil menggegarkan gegendang secara rancak. Cuma dah biasa sangat dengar lagu-lagu dari negara matahari terbit yang selalunya terlebih hebat dari segi penggunaan alatan. Digandingkan dengan artis-artis mereka yang comel belaka sambil cerita-cerita animasi yang sangat mengagumkan memang membuatkan aku terlupa pasal negara sendiri. Walaupun begitu, aku dan kawan-kawan seperjuangan yang lain masih tetap berminat menyusahpayahkan diri ke Arena Tertutup Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort.

Microphone, anyone?

Apparently, the fans and their madness aren’t stalled with the existence of real world guitars and bass. Fans have acknowledged Fender and Les Paul as collectibles. Well, it’s K-On! that brought up thing like these to a new level of otakluism. Of course, previously there were many occasions like this but look at this way; before K-On!, only musicians who like anime and bought instruments they like and for K-On! afterwards, non-musicians bought musical instruments just for collections. For today’s post, if you couldn’t get the expensive guitars, you can get something cheaper…

yeah, see?

Yeah, you can get the microphone, right?

Audix OM-5 Dynamic Hypercardioid Micrphone

Made in the United States of America, it’s priced at USD 159. Certainly, cheaper than any of those guitars and basses, am I right? If you bother to see the specifications, it’s a dynamic type, hypercardioid polar pattern that has a response of 48000 Hz to 19000 Hz with the impedence of 200 ohms and sensitivity at 1k 1.8 mV/Pa. Apart from being used for lead and backing vocals, any other instruments can be used such as sax, brass, guitar, dobro, flute, percussions and drums. Other applications are like live recording, broadcast and even home studio.

But I don’t think those people really bother what’s this mic really do, am I right?

Accumulated Stuffs

Huh, basically I am not sure where should I begin. Perhaps I should make separate blog posts about different things. Then again, I am kinda lazy to do that. What a hassle. But if I put everything in a single post, that would be a long post. Though if I really make separate posts, each post might filled with details and more words. Eventually, I can make all of that in a single post which might produce a much much more longer post. But I don’t think that would be a wise move to do so. On a second thought, why not? Most of the blog readers are keen to waste their times over the net through reading irrelevant materials especially regarding to their works. Haha, anyway, just let me pick some prominent things to tell guys about. Start off with GACC.

Yosh!

Stands for ‘Games, Anime, Comic Circles’, this event was held in MMU, Melaka, on 20th and 21st of March. A 2-day event. While the event was already known for years, this was my first time there. Certainly because I was not fond of anime events in previous years and Melaka isn’t that near. Well, not really that far actually. They said that the event was the Last GACC. So, why not I go there? I attended the event only on Sunday though.

God Knows by MPLS

So, this is the video of God Knows by MPLS or /AS/ Band. Yes, I know I kinda agitated with the use of that group name but here, the video of the group itself after several fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- up compiles by myclamyra himself.

From top left, clockwise: chiaki (drummer), SonJa a.k.a. incubusskj (rhythm guitar), myclamyra (bass), Eccentrical (lead guitar thwang thwang). Middle: lovesummer a.k.a. natsu (singer). Gut gemacht.

Minum Petang Lepas Sekolah

Darou ne?

I was at myclamyra’s house with other friends yesterday. Well, they’re doing some music recordings. The idea was to have a few people with talents gather up and do the recording. But it turned out several more people came along (sorry myclamyra lol). Anyway, we were recording God Knows song. Apart from myclamyra handling the bass, Eccentrical with guitar and chiaki with the drums, we had lovesummer for the vocal. Yeah, finally a girl for the singer. Well, uh, she’s from other community forum. Not from Lowyat.Net btw. Also, I took my chance to do simple photoshoot with my Nendroids, Kirisame Marisa and Hakurei Reimu.

Hee... :D

So there were like… how many people? Hmm, let’s see; myclamyra, Eccentrical, chiaki, lovesummer, Czero, ultimaweaponx, kusakabemisao, lightnokira, wanvadder and me. Basically, only 4 people were really required for the recording. Actually, the people that have almost to zero talents of playing instruments would be me, ultimaweaponx, wanvadder and Czero. Well, Czero is trying to learn drums tho. At least he got people who can teach him unlike me with my dusty violin. ultimaweaponx and me were trying to be helpful by recording videos of the recording session, teehee…

Oh!

Oh!

Girls Generation will be releasing it’s brand new album tomorrow with the title Oh! In conjunction with that, a song which also entitled as Oh! has been publicly aired through radio (and internet) before the release. So, the music video for the song has also been released yesterday. Being an infamous Koreans band, people are cool enough to rip the song and video plus took some of their precious time to romanize those Hangul lyrics. As usual, the song is catchy. I am not really a die hard fan but I do like their songs. This new song is pretty much great.

What are these songs basically? lol I don’t really know but truly it’s full of happiness, craziness, wonderful and full of moe. Hocchan (Horie Yui) is so wonderful in her song, Happy Halloween Maria.

Chocolate Love

Chocolate Rain... oops, Love.

Chocolate Rain... oops, Love.

Here comes the famous 9 girls korean band, again, with another music video which is in accordance with LG’s new phone. They’re like being some ambassadors to LG itself to promote the phone with sexy legs. Despite that I am not fancy with any single of them for being look too similar with each other, it’s kind of entertaining to watch them dance in unison. Especially the bare legs. Hey, they look so classic this time. The costume I mean. I think the song isn’t as cool as Gee gee gee song but still catchy.
