on the ..... OVJ and nice musics ...

I have been addicted lately with one indonesian comedy show called opera van java (OVJ) .... to be honest, the idea of the show itself is not that original, with many of the jokes have a "srimulat slapstick" style... but, the strength of the show lies on the character of the actors ... which somehow for me, quite original ... however, just like other popular tv show in indonesia, to make more money means to show it as frequent as possible ... and after some time, the quality of the jokes also decline rapidly with a lack of creativity (well if you have to produce a show for 5 times a week from previously once a week... what do you expect???) ..... even lately it is not as fun as the previous series... have no idea what the think .... really ... and just like other booming/ popular tv show in indonesia ... I predict that the lifespan of this show probably not that long anymore (seriously ... the grade of the jokes drop from A to D- ... well according to me)

Anyhow, one that i like from the show is the home band who fill the slot between each segment .... the composition of the band is quite unique, where they combine a traditional instrument with standard band instruments and one female lead vocal .... they normally cover some popular songs with new arrangement (combination with traditional style) ..... surprisingly, many of them sounds awesome ..... even sometimes they sing it better than the original version ... one example is a song from vierra called "rasa ini" (my advice to vierra, please find a new vocalist ....) .... other songs that have caught my attention (untill now) are songs from d'massive, derby and chandra ..... in details .... the first song from the d'masiv... actually it is quite nice ... but somehow (lately) it sounds a bit too cheesy ... so i drop it from my playlist g (even i do believe that love sometimes can kill you ... huehehehehehehehe) ... the second song from new band called derby (well ... for me they are new) ..... the song it self is quite nice, and it doesn't sound too cheesy (at least for me) and i simply like the vocal, quite unique (even actually, it doesn't sound too good in live performance) ... but well, if you don't watch the live performance and listen only to the recordings, it can be quite enjoyable to listen ... the last song from chandra... this one is really amazing ... a bit jazzy, nice melody, nice arrangement, nice male voice with a good vocal technique ... and for sure nice female vocal (even surprisingly,for me, the male vocal sounds better ... no offense sheila madjid ...)

so ... after some consideration .... i put the last two songs in my blog ..... kind of refreshing to listen to them (and also partly brain washing ... since i have listened to them about a zillion times .... and it has no sign to stop now ... huehehehehehe) ... so, just enjoy them then ...
