my prayers and thoughts are always with you.

on a lighter note, i knew the drill that by putting your material online, anyone can simply take it and use it if they wanna. i came upon (?one of) butterfingers‘ myspace page which had a composite photo of the band taken by yours truly. to think of it, i did email a few of the doctored shots to loque and i am quite chuffed that one of them got used!
it was taken during the recording of transcendence at menora in setapak. the photoshop composite was done by AJ (who was still studying in sheffield then). not exactly a ross halfin or anton corbijn, but i feel quite lucky that i had the honour of photographing one of malaysia’s rock bands (thanks to trabye).
speaking of myspace and butterfingers, check out loque‘s (currently in boston) new stuff. from listening to the songs, i guess thom yorke’s the eraser may just be on his playlist. jikaakuseorangrobot!

another piece of inane good news – my ’72 telecaster deluxe has arrived and i have made it to look like this, thanks to eBay:
more pics of kayu (2+2=3) up soon.
a homemade tele sig. touche kudo… touche…
at last… something about music! relief… 😉
serih: tak fully sig. thom’s tele has one knob missing, replaced by a ferrule for the lead. and the apple sticker is bigger.
lmsn: ya. pity i have not written anything about CASIO WATCHES. what the hell is that all about?!!!
dude, when are you coming down to london???????????
ash: bila nak ajak? 😛 i on je anytime – you know me.
dang. can you sing/wail like him too?
dude, aku benci ko! aku benci! aku benci! :p
This WAS the tele i was gonna get from Ishibashi Japan ( a MIJ 72 deluxe reissue) until they told me it was sold out and they dont know when new stock is in. arghhhhhhh
lita: no. i can play guitar, though.
chocolalat: eBay ada – if you are patient enough. i’ve seen MIJ’s yg colour lain la.
zana, keje kat ner skang? tak balik mesia eh?
wah… making history nampak, hebat, hebat.
once in my previous life, i pun menggatal belajar main guitar gak, but as my guitar player fren said, ‘tangan ko ni mati la… ko tak leh main!’. true… though my right fingers are well alive and plucking… the other side sentiasa mati, tak pernah hidup pun. too bad. stick to conteng2 je lah…
the closest to music world i got was as an angklung player in an orchestra; but we did perform at Central Market twice, annual dinners and a few kenduri kawin. i guest i can only goncang, not goreng 🙂
[…] before i bought the tele deluxe on eBay, i actually sought out the apple and x-girl decals seen on thom’s tele. the actual ones are bigger. also, thom’s tele had been modified where one of the tone knobs has been replaced by a jack socket. i wouldn’t go that far for mine. hehe. […]
