Mr. A-Z

(actually this is a re-post from my friend's blog, rayindra brayantyo, from his blog bright-shield.blogspot.com, i just add up a little bit)


Have you ever been inspired by someone? ever been influenced by someone? Well I have. lately,i've been greatly influenced by some pop artist named Jason Mraz.you even might say that im a maniac for him..(not the guy,his music i mean.. -_-) yea




I first started listening to his songs when i was given an assignment to form a band with my friends,in senior high. we were in a bind deciding what songs should we play.UNTIL....my friend codenamed "homo1", said "Eh pam guw punya laguw keren abeeezzz sumpacchhh! ni guw kirimin pake blutut".homo1 sent me the song and once i got home, i listened to the song..first impression:yeah..not bad. after that blah blah blah, I listened to the song everyday..i started liking the song..and eventually i became obsessed with the song.we made a bond. scary i know..but hey! it's a fact.that song was called I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.
Then,i downloaded (yes i know i'm a pirate, aarrrrrr) some of his other songs and fell in love with it too..(with the songs i mean.. not with the guy okay?) I'm Yours,Make it Mine,Butterfly(now that's a jam!) there're all great songs..it just goes good on the ears.... Well that's ipam story, my story, yeah homo1 introduced me to this song too, and at first, i don't like it really, but as time goes bye, i don't know what've gotten into me, i love that song! and homo1 knew i like it, so he introduced me to another jason mraz's songs, make it mine, lucky, the remedy, and then i've started to downloaded all of jason mraz's albums (what a maniac)
and then i dig deeper to his songs, see his live performances (on DVD and youtube) , learn to play his songs with guitar, and now, maybe you could call me "Jason Mraz's songs expert" or something like that, if you want to, i could play all of his songs, on guitar i mean. Only one heck of a song that i could'nt figure it out,summer breeze accoustic version, could someone help me??

Enough with his music, let's talk about the man himself..MR.A-Z was born in 1977 which makes his age about 33, from what i've seen he's caring,down to earth,cool to the breeze guy..everything about him seems cool i suppose. I started reading his blog and whoaa..that man's blog is just full of "freshness"..i mean whenever i read his cool lines i get motivated or inspirated or or or whatever..you should try reading it too you know..if you're feeling down..just listen to his music and try to sing along! it'll cheer you up in no time..I know it cheered me up! and from me, thank you for filling me up with that info ipam! i don't know a lot of him myself actually...

Pagelaran Musik... BEDEEEEH

Pada hari jum'at tanggal 7 mei 2010, SMA Islam Al-azhar 1 mengadakan pagelaran musik! YOOE
yang pada awalnya gua ga tau, jadi gini, waktu itu, hari jumat minggu lalunya, gua pulang telat ama tossy, arham, dhanes, dan agi, pas di depan lift, tiba-tiba si tossy ngeliat ada kertas tempelan kayak pengumuman gitu, dan ternyata kertas itu adalah... JENGJENG "Pagelaran Musik" band yang tampil disitu ada nama kelompok gua ; tossy, hari, arham, satriya, afif YOOOEEE gua kaget kok tiba-tiba tampil tanpa pemberitahuan, jadi itu adalah band-band yang lolos seleksi waktu di test pas UTS, padahal gua bilang band gua jelek lho pas UTS, ya alhamdulillah lah.


yak dan akhirnya, untuk meng-improvisasi lagu yang akan kami bawakan, yaitu "Traveller-Make it mine" yang live on earth
