From Paste Magazine: "In Rainbows animated video contest reaches semi-finals: By way of providing fans one more opportunity to have Radiohead experience their artistic product about Radiohead's artistic product, the aniBoom.com competition is one step away from reaching Radiohead-judging level. From more than 60 videos, 10 emerged as semi-finalists this week, exploring seven of the songs from In Rainbows. Each semi-finalist now gets $1,000 to make a one-minute animation that will be watched and voted upon June 9, after which the finalists will advance to a June 23 judging. The grand winner will be announced June 30. You can watch all of the semi-finalists' videos here."
Background info on the contest -also from Paste-: Animation site aniBoom is hosting a competition for storyboard or animated music video ideas to accompany In Rainbows. The competition will be judged by none other than the Radioheads themselves, as well as aniBoom and its community (which actually means an audience ranking).
"It's the perfect match between revolutionary music and the mind blowing possibilities of animation," says the blurb on the contest site. Submissions began yesterday (March 17); the semi-finals will take place March 28; viewing and voting will be June 9; finals June 23; and, finally, the grand winner will be announced June 30. The 10 semi-finalists will receive $1,000 each to create a one-minute video clip, and the grand prize winner will receive $10,000 to create a full-length Radiohead music video, which will be given web-wide distribution with aniBoom marketing behind it.

Eh, dan bapak Heri Latief, sesepuh PPI-A also posted something quite thought-provoking
apa betul halangannya berpolitik kerna soal waktu belajar yg sempit?
jaman tan malaka sekolah di belanda, pi berjuang untuk kemerdekaan indonesia (alias melawan belanda), jaman sekarang mahasiswa (ppi) maunya hidup senang2 aja, lalu lupa pada keadaan di kampuangnya yg lagi susah.
istilahnya: cari selamat.
itu musti kita akui, bahwa tak ada reaksi dari para mahasiswa indonesia terhadap antrian sembako di tanah airnya itu sudah menunjukan adanya indikasi belaga gak tau, yg penting aman...
hehehe...

ps: saurlin adalah salah satu dari pengurus "ppi kota den haag", kuliah di iss den haag.

susahnya sekarang, mahasiswa kuliah di belanda hanya beberapa tahun saja. anak2 yang kuliah s2 hanya 1-1,5 tahun. tiga bulan pertama bisa dianggap penyesuaian, dan tiga bulan terakhir persiapan lulus dan pulang. sedangkam zaman dahulu masa sekolahnya panjang. sebut saja hatta yang ada di belanda hingga 11 tahun dan hoesein djajadiningrat 9 tahun.
buat saurlin, kalau ingin tahu lebih jelas bagaimana masa pergerakan mahasiswa indonesia zaman hatta dan djajadiningrat, silakan baca "Indonesia merdeka : orgaan van de Indonesische Vereeniging"

barangkali student indonesia pada sibuk menyelematkan dirinya sendiri, lalu ppi dijadikan klub olahraga dan nyanyi2, yg sukarela digembalakan oleh kantor perwakilan di luar negeri.

kuputuskan menulis email ini, setelah agak gelisah, ada sesuatu yg salah dengan generasi pendiri dan penerus ppi... tulisan ini sendiri mencari benang yang putus itu...kapan dimana dan oleh siapa...
dulu di indonesia, jika mendengar ppi, ingatan kembali ke sejarah kemasyuran-heroik para pejuang awal indonesia di luar negeri. peran politik kaum terpelajar untuk mengkampanyekan pembebasan indonesia dari penindasan. sebuah mega proyek mental tentang sebuah bangsa besar bernama indonesia.
jejak itu kok sulit ditelusuri ya? yg ditemukan hanya sayup2 cerita yg tidak lengkap dari orang tua yang masih hidup, misalnya di Belanda. konon, kaum superior, ppi awal itu, dihabisi oleh 'hantu' tahun 1965, bagi saya masih hantu, karena kurang jelas.
tinggalah sekarang saya, salah seorang ppi 'aneh' yg tidak punya pengetahuan tentang sejarah diri sendiri, sehingga tidak tahu mau ngapain lagi dengan organisasi saya ini.
aku minta penjelasan dari mereka yg dulu aktif di ppi awal, sehingga kaum muda yg memimpin ppi saat ini tidak buta sejarah, dan mengerti peran apa yang harus dilakukan, supaya tidak hanya masuk kampus-terus pulang ke hostel, tidur.
salam,

Blm ada yg nge-reply lagi sih, baru si Ibnu Adam itu aja, dan kykny jg dia ngereply-nya japri, ga di milis. Me personally think it's the generation gap. and the fact that DULU musuhnya jelas: BELANDA. sekarang? its too complicated, is it the government? is it the institutions? is it religion? is it our parents? could it be our mentality? our culture? i can't even describe what i mean by complicated coz its saturday (loh?), well my head just buzzed when i thought of say, the history of our country in the past 10 years... u know what they say in indonesia, we had this reformation, we thought it'd go well, things might looked better, but then, of course it can be better.. seriously i dont know where to start or on what subject. there's a lot of things going on in our country now. we can always blame the government, but hey, its not that easy being the government. besides, its hard being a foreigner here :p im not sure if mr. heri latief ever been to indonesia recently. or lived there for a couple of years, recently. coz between living there, and watching the news, or hearing stuffs from people, is VERY different. he might miss the old heroic acts during the 40's-60's..
come to think of it, even the young people in Indonesia are not that "hard-core" in terms of "bringing down the government" anymore. but again, you dont need to fight rocks with rocks.
i'm quite sure that a lot of students here are willing to dedicate their live to their beloved country when they got home. in their own way. but they dont have to shout about it every time do they?
"Doodle takes Dad's scissors to her skin And when she does relief comes setting in While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes She sings: Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me"
You should see my scars And try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
Condolences to Irma, Nizar and Theo Arler's family. Nizar's dad passed away quite some time ago, I think it was a heart attack. Irma's dad yesterday, and Theo Arler, used to be my mass communication teacher, passed away on a motor accident 2 weeks ago.
May their soul rest in peace and may those who are left behind are blessed with strength and comfort
Lemmesee.. March 25 saw the last (hopefully) snow attack in Holland.
It supposed to be Spring now.. but it's only got warmer during this week. Last week had been cold (with false promises of warmth from the sun).
First of April I went to Velvet Revolver's concert in Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam. I'm not particularly a fan, tp yah maksudnya kapan lagi ngeliat Slash, the guitar legend, perform live... dan to prove if Scott Weiland really as sexy as on TV :P
The band was breath-taking! (but myb its also because i continuously jumped up-and-down, head banging, through the night) Yes Slash was as amazing as they say, and Scott IS Sexy!!! He started the night with a 3 piece-suit and stripped it off one by one during the performance.. huehuehueh =D~ tp at the encore he wore a "Wake Up China"-grey shirt (klo ga salah tulisanny itu) n sunglasses
Too bad it was Scott's last night with the Band. He officially returned to just re-grouped Stone Temple Pilots. The Rolling Stones magazine has made a reader's survey on who would be the potential new singer of VR.. I know Okky would like it to be Sebastian Bach.. Me personally, I don't know. I like Chris Cornell but I don't think he is at the same level as Slash and Duffy.
Concert pics n vids can be found here. Myb will post the highlights of the night some time later :p but recorded were: - One of Slash's guitar solo - Slash played guitar on his back
No picture of me there :P was thinking of making one then, but think that it would be cheesy :p (masa rocker foto2 diri??) heheh
Music Mayday has a new logo and new website coming soon :) My Dad said that the new MM tag looked like UH XD (Ulma Haryanto if you don't get it..)
and we just moved in to the new office :D our office is at the 1st floor (not the BG). and this is my desk :D

Still no news from the Sweden people, and this weekend we probbly gonna check the Asian Film Festival out. Quickie Express is going to play, as well as Kala (the Director is going to be there for a Q&A session). Mo bikin brownies ga jadi2 xD Last weekend played badminton.. i sucked :P its really not my sport.. dah gtu badan jadi sakit semua lagi xD
Aw yea.. last three months a lot of ppl i know got married :P geez.. congrats to them all :D n to Nia n Stepy for the engagement..
Elvin n uc r going to move out :( hiks.. but i guess it's a good move for them both.
Ow yea, on fitna the movie... that movie is crappy :p 'nuff said. a bit disappointed at NKRI's government who banned myspace, youtube, multiply, as a panic-reaction xD tp denger2 ban-nya udh di lift. so,.. dats good. no need to panic, we're islamic! a friend of clive's gave a shirt that is something like this.. ...on his n isrina's farewell party :D or was it his birthday? The sentence itself is a title of a show in BBC that invites British Muslim to speak openly about what it means to be a British Muslim - at a time when the nation is fighting a 'war on terror'
i've been posting more youtube videos than usual :p~ so lame.. but this one is killing me xD i was laughing n crying at the same time... the lyrics.. oh my God.. the lyrics!! x'D nippley, girly man.. *sob*
