Here’s a report of the fest by Cilfford:

*note – no mention of The Abang Guard but it’s a good overview of the happening, including very nice pictures!

At last we are playing the much revered Singapore DIY Punk venue, BLACKHOLE 212, which is actually said to be closing down somewhere later this month. Another plus point is us playing with old friends OPPOSITION PARTY, Singapore’s oldest punk band still going! Joe and Bullet actually jammed with OP on-stage at Metallica Lounge, Pertama in KL back in 1990 – Joe sung two songs while Bullet played “weirdo” guitar with the then trio of Francis, Lee Piau and Mike!

Other bands are pretty awesome;

D’Kugiran features The Pilgrims guitarist Kombat; so when the band played Melbourne recently, Lee (our old vocalist and also The Pilgrims’ original vocalist) joined in for a few numbers.

Sua Sue Good Morning: The old Hijrah/Pilgrims classic tune – a fast and rocking reworking of traditional malay children song.

It’s been a while since all of us meet for a jam, well at least with Tom. So we had a meet at Joe’s house and had a nice time larking around with a few old tunes and a song by Sumbang for us to play this Tuesday.

Here’s a recording of the jam we did on Sumbang’s song Ciuman Emma:

No rehearsal. Everybody in the band turned up apart from Tom (who’s brother was getting married in Pilah). We played 5 songs. and yes, most pleasantly our old friends LUK HAAS & wife RUDINA were there!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!!

Sistem dua parti atau dua ratus buah parti ini tidak memiliki apa-apa makna yang hakiki jika kita masih lagi dalam sistem ekonomi yang berimankan keuntungan maksima. Apa yang wajib kita sokong bukan mereka yang berijazah, berdatuk, bertun atau berserban – ini tidak penting. Yang penting ialah mereka yang bangun berjuang untuk melahirkan satu sistem ekonomi yang berimankan kebajikan untuk manusia.

DARI JELEBU
Hishamuddin Rais

Pada tahun 2009 ini wacana politik dalam negara kita cuba menyebarkan berita tentang kemungkinan terwujudnya sistem dua parti – Barisan Nasional dan Pakatan Rakyat. Malah huh hah huh hah tentang sistem dua parti ini telah tersebar lama. Ada yang menyeringai gembira seperti di malam pertama bedua-duaan di bilik bersama kekasih bila mendengar kemungkinan ini.

Sistem dua parti ini adalah satu penipuan. Satu illusi yang dirancang oleh kaum pemodal. Satu pemesongan projek demokrasi yang amat terancang untuk mengkaburi mata orang ramai agar gagal melihat intipati politik dan makna hakiki demokrasi.

Lalu saya bertanya adakah sesiapa yang dapat membezakan Pepsi dengan Coke? Adakah sesiapa yang dapat membezakan Adidas dengan Puma? Hakikatnya – pemilik saham Pepsi adalah juga pemilik saham Coke. Hakikatnya – Puma dan Adidas adalah dua beradik yang membuka peniagaan yang sama – satu kedai di kiri jalan dan sebuah lagi di kanan jalan. Kedua-duanya mengamalkan sistem kapitalis yang berlandaskan keuntungan. Yang membezakan hanya ejaan nama yang bermula dengan A dan P.

Kita wajib sedar bahawa kaum pemodal akan terus merancang untuk memastikan kepentingan ekonomi mereka selamat. Apa yang mereka pertahankan bukan saekar kebun getah atau sebuah Kancil. Yang mereka pertahankan ialah sistem ekonomi kapitalis yang selama 150 tahun ini telah mengembongkan saku dan dompet mereka. Sistem ini telah menjadikan mereka senang lenang dan kaya raya dengan harta berbilion-bilion dolar dan ringgit.

I saw KARAOKE at its press screening about a month ago and I think you people should check it out for its beautifully shot and poetic meditation upon the slow death of a kampung with its lives and spirit lost in the wastelands of a palm oil plantation.

Take note! KARAOKE is screening for ONLY one week, and get this, it’s showing ONLY at the GSC International Screen. Yes, “international” screen for a movie shot in Ijok, Selangor and made by a largely Malaysian crew! Only in Bolehland!

One of Chris Chong’s previous films, the short Block B (written by the late and missed Toni Kasim) will screen with the feature on 28 & 29 November only.
