Pas di hari ABRI 5 Oktober kemarin, saya membaca komentar Felix Dass, penulis dan promotor musik yang sudah malang-melintang di skena sejak pertengahan tahun 2000-an tentang band The Jeblogs di X: “Generasi baru telah tiba. The best thing in Synchronize Festival 2024: The Kick x The Jeblogs. Selesai. No debat.” Post ini disertai video penampilanContinue reading “THE JEBLOGS: IS THIS IT?”

Bandung terlalu cerah untuk September Hitam. Langit biru. Udara nir-polusi. Yang hitam hanya lorong-lorong besi Skybridge yang baru di Stasiun Bandung. Di perjalanan kereta api Parahyangan dengan pemandangannya yang trés mooi indie, seorang teman mengirim pesan di WhatsApp: “Kalau inget di film lewat djam malam stasiunnya kan lumayan authentic euro design tuh, entar kalo udahContinue reading “PROPAGANDIS YANG BAIK ADALAH PROPAGANDIS YANG MATI: RENUNGAN SEPTEMBER HITAM”

lit progens
terpicu (btw, sejak kapan “terpantik” mulai membunuh “terpicu” pelan-pelan?) oleh post nike, aku juga jadi ingin bercerita tentang orang-orang (ada juga sih yang bukan orang) yang bikin aku jadi ingin membaca, entah mulai membaca, atau membaca sesuatu yang lain, atau membaca hal-hal yang sama dengan cara yang berbeda. list berikut in no particular order: 1.Continue reading “lit progens”
Moor
I went back to my room, 307, but it was too late. The door was locked, someone was inside. I could see in from the hole where the doorknob was. A guy in a red flannel shirt was picking up, then putting down documents in green folders on the table. It wasn’t my old table.Continue reading “Moor”
Kepribadian Labil Sasaran Brightspot Market
oleh Administrator Anak-anak remaja yang berkepribadian labil jadi sasaran Brightspot Market untuk diajak bergabung. Demikian menurut cendekiawan muslim Prof. Dr. Jalaluddin Rahmat.

things change every day, leaves get yellower, jalans get bolonger, my tattoo is fading, but are the changes clockwise or anti-? everything depends upon a rainbow wheelbarrow and if we associate progress with a right or a left turn of the minute hand. i long for and fear the shanghai-ization of jakarta.
art bitch
sumtimes methinks my progress as a poet (yakali) has been severely curtailed/put to a deadstop by my addiction to good conversations. i’ve met some amazing artists, dancers, poets, trapeze artists, and some of them are such boring conversationalists but they produce such amazing work! i feel only despair when later on i find their amazingContinue reading “art bitch”
submerge!
I guess maybe that’s what I want. Building a complete world from scratch that gets more and more complex as I get older. Never stopping, never running out of breath. The world will consist of layers, each a petri dish for the layer above it, so everything is connected and none can exist without theContinue reading “submerge!”
