What:
Liana Finck (@lianafinck)

Description:

Liana Finck’s cartoons are not particularly attractive, but her reductionist style address everyday situations with a hilariously witty approach. Take a look at The New Yorker cartoonist’s Instagram account and be entertained by situations that relate to you.

What:
Roast of Bruce Willis

Description:
Apalagi yang lebih nikmat bagi netizen seperti kita selain untuk melihat public figure dicaci-maki? Kali ini topiknya pun menarik, sosok legendaris yang identik dengan film-film bersimbah adrenalin, Bruce Willis. Secara roaster sebenarnya line-upnya tidak terlalu istimewa, masih ada Martha Stewart di sana dengan senyuman template-nya itu. Tapi yang mencuri highlight di episode ini adalah Edward Norton yang menciptakan standar baru dalam roasting. Ia tidak mencoba untuk tiba-tiba menjadi stand-up comedian, alih-alih, ia menganalisa perbandingan karirnya dengan karir Bruce – tampaknya memang benar adanya gosip tentang betapa Ed Norton adalah sosok yang sangat self-centered. Hasilnya? Komedi yang korosif dan destruktif, membuat semua roaster yang tampil setelahnya terasa semenjana saja.

What:
Dreems & DJ OI – Kamp Krusty (LUM’s Journey)

Description:
Lagu lama dari LP Dreems berjudul “Running Mate” yang dirilis Maret 2017, tapi baru didengar lagi karena keputar waktu shuffle playlist di Spotify. Percussive, earthy, somewhat hot. Rasanya intens, seperti sedang di alam terbuka, malam hari, lengket berkeringat dan tidak ada angin. Paling suka saat masuk menit 03:21. Supaya maksimal, lagu ini perlu didengar pakai speaker dengan bass mantap.

What:
Sleep

Description:
As the New York Times article once said “A good night’s sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity”.

EMMANUELLA PRIMASTIWI
Editorial Staff

What:
Rickey Thompson

Description:

What:
Album Perdana Sharesprings – Paraparlor

Description:
Akhirnya, setelah penantian panjang band indie pop/punk lokal favorit saya mengeluarkan album perdananya, Paraparlor. Bagi saya hal tersebut cukup emosional. Berisikan 8 trek, album ini secara sederhana menghadirkan rasa hangat di telinga juga hati saya. Semuanya pas, trek-trek pada album terasa tidak ada yang dipaksakan, seakan Sharesprings memang menunggu waktu yang tepat, untuk akhirnya merilis album ini. Yang mana beberapa lagu diantaranya cukup familiar, karena telah dibawakan pada aksi panggung mereka sebelum merilis album ini. Meskipun durasi tiap trek tidak begitu lama dan saya berharap bisa mendengar karya yang lebih panjang, namun tetap saja, bagi saya album ini terasa begitu tepat. ARGH rasanya saya ingin terus mendengarkan album ini setiap saat.

Favorite tracks: Prostitute, Pocketguides, Paraparlor, The Perfect Timing

JANUAR KRISTIANTO
Heart Attack

What:
Nomad – 自殺 LP

Description:
Pengaruh Japanese punk di jagat skena musik agresif dunia tak dapat dielakkan, termasuk Amerika Serikat sendiri. Nomad asal NYC adalah satu dari sekian banyak band yang mengedepankan estetika bising ala Confuse dan memainkannya dengan sem-pur-na (magnifique!). LP yang dirilis di tahun 2014 ini sontak menjadi modern classic, sebuah mahakarya. Now will you excuse me, I need to pogo.

CLARISSA AMABEL
Art Director

What:
Money Diaries

Description:
I have an affinity for observing the everyday human affairs, or in other words, I am nosy AF. One of the things I’m particularly curious about is the way people earn, manage, and spend their money. In this day and age, money is still considered a sensitive issue, even in conversation among friends. Why is that?

In this series by Refinery29, women from all walks of life share their budget & daily spending from a one-week period. It’s interesting how your spending habits reveal how you see the world ((insert thinking emoji))

What:
Roemah Kantja

Description:
Kalau kita lihat sekilas di instagram, coffeeshop ini sebenarnya terihat seperti tempat ngopi dan nongkrong pada umumnya. Namun, kunjungan gue kesana saat pulang kampung kemarin mengubah persepsi itu 180 derajat. Bayangkan saja, tempat nongkrong ala pekarangan rumah dengan udara khas kota Malang yang super adem, jauh dari bising nya kendaraan bermotor (karena tempat ini sulit di akses mobil), dikelilingi pepohonan dan rumah warga sekitar yang ramah. Definitely a must, kalo kalian berkunjung ke kota malang!

VINCENT WIDJAJA
Graphic Designer

What:
Dr. Pimple Popper [Videos]

Description:
Ever heard of a dual saying that human body is both beautiful and disgusting at the same time? Well, well, it’s strangely soothing watching Dr. Pimple Popper squeezes out those comedones, inflamed bodily fluid, and similar other kind of repulsive shit resulted from dermatological related conditions. Cheeky titling of the videos such as ‘Lasagna Noodle in the Cheek’, ‘Pilar Cyst Shumai’, and ‘A Chicken Tender in the Arm’ definitely going to either make you giggle or think twice before eating (though, vegan diet might be a better option). Enjoy.

******Graphic nature, viewer discretion is advised.

What:
MANIAC – Netflix Series (trailer)

Description:
Cant wait!!!!!! Perpaduan profil Jonah Hill yang konyol dan kharismatik bersamaan dengan Emma Stone yang cool nan menawan di dalam film yang berlatar belakang Science fiction-Drama “navigating a multiverse”. Basically, buat gue ini adalah penggabungan concept antara film Avatar dan Inception, bayangin aja bakalan seseru apa series ini!. Coming Soon September 21st.

What:
Best Relaxing Piano Studio Ghibli With Rain

Description:
I do not know why I really love this channel. Again, I am currently listening all of the songs during my working time. The sound of the rain increases the feeling which makes me calm and stay positive from morning to evening. If you’re interested, you can check the channel on YouTube, and I also typed the link below. Peace!

*For all colleagues at the office now, “Stay Calm and Work Hard!” 加油!

What:
Psychic Cringe Fails 2 – The Best of James Randi

Description:
Started out with Ken Jenie’s remarks on Fake Psychic (the guy on the left), I ended up watching a bunch of videos of James Randi, a brilliant ex-magician and a professional ‘debunker’, challenging these so-called psychics, paranormals, healers, and what-have-you in a scientific way. He is known for his $1 million challenge to anyone who can prove and demonstrate his or her supernatural, paranormal, or superpower ability. The prize remains unclaimed until its termination in 2015. Moral of the story: No one really needs a million dollar!

Stay skeptical!
