GOLDEN BABY: Things I've learned about New York.
I’ve been here for like, I don’t know, 4 days now? I’ve spent most of my time ordering room service and listening to old r’n’b records, but I did venture in the Big Apple between studio time and “beatrice is too beat from studio time” time.
1. Boys have this strict dress code around here :…
#9…. erreure à ne pas faire. JAMAIS. à moins que la faillite ne te fasse pas peur.
The Used I use to be..
The Used’ new single, Vulnerable is available for a listen on KROQ
I think I’m going to go back to listening to these bands I use to listen a few years back when everything was so clear in my head and I was so full of passion. Maybe that’ll give me some power to find and attain more goals this year!
According to Soundscan, the vinyls sales went up 39% in 2011! That’s some good news! There is nothing that can replace the good old sound of an old record on vinyl, the feeling you get, the way you want to dance to it, everything of it feels like being back in the old days and enjoying the moment to me!
We Are Young by Fun
It’s a good morning song!
Depuis le film ”Les Aventuriers Du Timbre Perdu” j’aime Rufus Wainwright. Comme, j’AIME, Rufus Wainwright! Il a un petit quelque chose de mystique.
Ici, il chante Minuit Chrétien. En français. J’ADORE.
Merci pour les frissons!
I AM NOT SORRY TO SAY WHAT THE FUCK
We are in 2011. I can NOT fuckin believe this is happening…
BANDA ACEH, INDONESIA—Police in Indonesia’s most conservative province raided a punk-rock concert and detained 65 fans, buzzing off their spiky mohawks and stripping away body piercings because of the perceived threat to Islamic values.
Dog-collar necklaces and chains also were taken from the youths before they were thrown in pools of water for “spiritual” cleansing, local police chief Iskandar Hasan said Wednesday.
After replacing their “disgusting” clothes, he handed each a toothbrush and barked “use it.”
The crackdown marked the latest effort by authorities to promote strict moral values in Aceh, the only province in this secular but predominantly Muslim nation of 240 million to have imposed Islamic laws.
Here, adultery is punishable by stoning to death. Homosexuals have been thrown in jail or lashed in public with rattan canes. Women are forced to wear head scarves and told, please, no tight pants.
It’s not clear why police decided to hone in on punks.
Though pierced and tattooed teens have complained for months about harassment, Saturday’s roundup at a concert attended by more than 100 people was by far the biggest and most dramatic bust yet.
Baton-wielding police scattered fans, many of whom had travelled from other parts of the sprawling archipelagic nation to attend the show.
Hasan said 59 young men and five women were loaded into vans and brought to a police detention centre 30 miles (60 kilometres) from the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.
They would spend 10 days getting rehabilitation, training in military-style discipline and religious classes, including Qur’an recitation, he said. Afterward, they’ll be sent home.
Twenty-year-old punker, Fauzan, was mortified.
“Why? Why my hair?!” he said, pointing to his cleanly shaven head. “We didn’t hurt anyone. This is how we’ve chosen to express ourselves. Why are they treating us like criminals?”
The women, some in tears, were given short, blunt bobs.
Hasan insisted he’d done nothing wrong.
“We’re not torturing anyone,” the police chief said. “We’re not violating human rights. We’re just trying to put them back on the right moral path.”
However, Nur Kholis, a national human commissioner, deplored the detentions, saying police have to explain what kinds of criminal laws have been broken.
“Otherwise, they violated people’s right of gathering and expression,” Kholis said, promising to investigate.
Aceh — where Islam first arrived in Indonesia from Saudi Arabia centuries ago — enjoys semiautonomy from the central government.
That was part of a peace deal negotiated after the 2004 tsunami that killed 170,000 people in the province convinced both separatist rebels and the army to lay down their arms. Neither side wanted to add to people’s suffering.
Some local governments in other parts of the country — which has seen tremendous changes with lighting-speed economic growth and modernization since the ouster of longtime dictator Suharto one decade ago — also have tried to ban “immoral” behaviour, like drinking alcohol, gambling and kissing in public.
They’ve met with limited success, however, largely because most of the country’s 200 million Muslims practice moderate forms of the faith.
